It's complete nonsense given that you can marry at 16, though I doubt many would. I can also find no evidence of it whatsoever documented anywhere. As my understanding is that a British Citizen of any age cannot be refused entry to the UK for any reason (though they could be arrested immediately on admission, I suppose, or even extradited due to a crime in another country) I'm not clear where this comes from.
