I think that you should tell them that it is your life and you will decide when you get married. You need to be able to experience life first and meet lots of people so that you can see which guys you would most like to marry. You can't let your parents run your life for you. You need to find out for yourself.

You're right my friend but my parents are treditional people they only take decisions in our home. They don't allow me to take decisions that's the real problem. However thanks for your suggesion.

There is NO correct age to get married except for the age you feel you are ready to get married. If you want to settle into your life and get all the kinks worked out, what is the harm in that? I see nothing wrong in waiting to get married. If you wait to get married, at least you'll be ready and mature enough to deal with all of life's up's and down's.

You grow up finish school and get a job and then live a bit of your life on your own and then maybe meet someone and get married. That is the good order of things. I am not sure what culture you may be part of so my advise may not be applicable. Good luck to you.

I am a firm believer that you need to be financially secure to a certain extent before thinking of marriage and kids. If you feel that you are not ready for it give your parents a firm NO. There is no specific age for a person to marry. It is you who will have to decide when you want to marry. Go for it when you are ready and confident about it and don't give in to others compulsions

I don't think you can put age on this - it will happen when you feel right about it and have met right person. If your parents are being pushy just be honest and let them know how you feel about it.

I don't think there's a correct (appart from the legal) age to marry. You have to marry when you feel it right, when you feel ready. Maybe it'll be in 10 years, maybe in 6 months... don't wait for a special age. wait for the moment when you know it's what you want. it'll come eventually.
