 * Is she 12 years old.

Yes. Kiyohime actually 12 years old.

Why such things can be happened?

Mind you, back then Japan use different calendar system because of taoism, etc. and it goes through various update patchs until they learned modern calendar. Of course, because of that, some people of previous era can be older or younger than their age by modern standard which also contribute to beliefs on 'how could such young age allowed for marriage', things like that.

Kiyohime age is 16 years old based on old calendar, calendar on era when she lives. By modern calendar, she is 12 years old.

This is also referenced on FGO anthology manga with Author Note, IIRC when they played marriage subject with regards to Kiyohime age.

For Kiyohime, she alredy met the age requirements allowed to married. For MC, as he aware of Kiyohime age by modern standard, he will be considered as lolicon and may ended up in jail.
