Fiance Visa:
Australian Marriageable Age

For a visa 300 application to be successful, both parties (visa applicant and Australian sponsor) to the intended marriage must be free to marry, and at least one of the couple to the marriage must be of Australian marriageable age. Because Australian law does not provide for parties to marry if both are under Australian marriageable age. However, this criterion does not have to be satisfied when the visa application is made (i.e. at time of the actual application was made/received by the Department of Immigration).

Rather, both parties must be free to marry only by the time the decision is made on the prospective marriage visa application and either:
both parties must be of marriageable age at the time of intended marriage, or an Australian court order is obtained authorising the parties to marry submitted before the visa is decided.

In such cases, an applicant-client would be counseled on whether deferring an application is more sensible, unless age is near turning lawful.
