Under current rules,
Spouses and civil partners wrote:277. Nothing in these Rules shall be construed as permitting a person to be granted entry clearance, leave to enter, leave to remain or variation of leave as a spouse or civil partner of another if either the applicant or the sponsor will be aged under 21 (or aged under 18 if either party is a serving member of HM Forces) on the date of arrival in the United Kingdom or (as the case may be) on the date on which the leave to remain or variation of leave would be granted.
That said, the Supreme Court is expected to hand down the judgement on the case of R (on the application of Quila and another) (FC) (Respondents) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Appellant) on 12-Oct-2011. So, you should know - whether it will remain 21 or come down to 18 - very soon.
