Lara Begi is a young woman from the Dominican Republic who is currently the director of communications for MTV. She has been married to Venezuelan entrepreneur Humberto Castillo for the last seven years. They met while working in a modeling agency in New York City where Humberto managed to get her an agent and they soon got together. They eventually decided to get married and now here they are, living in New York City as a happily married couple. They have a son, Paco, whom Lara adopted after his birth.

The question on everybody’s mind now is: how old should you be if you want to get married to Lara Begi? While many have reported different ages, it appears that the real age limit is twenty-one years old. This, however, could change depending on the particular jurisdiction that you live in. Another thing to consider is that even if you were to get married in your native country, such as the Dominican Republic, it doesn’t mean that you can now stay legally married for the rest of your life in that country. There are some specific laws that are considered applicable in every country and you need to know this before getting married.

For example, in the Dominican Republic, it is considered perfectly acceptable for men to marry young (under twenty-one years of age). However, with women, age should be at least twenty-five years old. Age doesn’t seem to matter much in the Dominican Republic, but it should. And so, it should be equally important to you and your spouse if age is going to play a factor in whether or not you both want to get married. So, plan ahead, research, and consult with an experienced immigration attorney before you begin the process.
