To answer your question directly I would have to say that any age under the age of consent in your state is too young to accept or propose marriage.
Reasoning: If you cannot agree to sexual intercourse, sign contracts, dropout of school or do any other things that require legal consent. How can you legally accept a marriage proposal. This is the legal aspect of your question.
There is a cultural aspect to your question that is entirely different that will run afoul of the legal aspects. There are some cultures that still live by the old country was where girls are betroth by their fathers to men or sons of friends when they reach a certain age.
Legally her in the US either the boy or the girl can walk away from this engagement at anytime. The courts will support this and the courts will not award any damages to either party for breaking the engagement.
I believe as you can see there are a lot more aspects to your question then just the simple what is age appropriate. I hope my answer has helped answer all the aspects that I am aware of and that they have helped you.

Most would say it's not a good idea to get engaged young because most end in divorce.
It definitely depends on how long you have been dating the person. It's probably a good idea to date for a few years. Maybe like 4-6 years of dating. In age range, probably in your 20s. Most women these days are getting married in their late 20s and early 30s.

Definitely not at 14, We already told you that.
Maybe in your 20's, An appropriate engagement depends on stability and how long you been together.

I don't think it's how young you are, it's how long you've been together. Young marriage is a risk but if you know that you want to spend the rest with that person you do that. But I would say not during high school.
