As long as the marriage was legal when entered into under state law the answer is yes at 16 or 18. Whether or not he can obtain his papers here or must return home needs to be assessed; these are tricky cases and I recommend you work with an immigration attorney to properly advise you and him.

If she is a US citizen and is legally married, she can sponsor her husband. She should have good representation, however.

If the marriage was legally recognized, and the couple has a child and are living as husband and wife, there will be options. However, it is important to consult with an attorney to be sure what the exact options are.

The bigger issue is the status of the husband. How did he enter the US, any immigratiuon filings and any criminal history.
