Obviously when this age is attained is going to vary from climate to climate and culture to culture. What I would emphasize is the completion of maturation. Has vertical growth stopped (you became tall)? Is puberty finished (full adornment)?

Although I personally have never known an 11 or 12 year old who had arrived, I suppose it's possible. And since mental maturity is not determined by physical age, I suppose you could have someone mature enough in a psychological sense to be married at that age.
