They can lay as early as 6 months of age, but you don't want that to happen!!! Don't allow her to lay until she's at least 18 months, but preferable two years of age.
If she's becoming a chronic layer, remove stimulating items (i.e., another dove), stop petting her, gradually decrease her daylight hours to 10, move the cage, rearrange what is inside the cage, etc. As a last resort, your avian vet has medicine to stop, or at least slow down, the egg laying.
