Hello,Oderog! The ideal age for marriage for boys girls would be 30 and 25 respectively,so that by that age they would be physically,mentally and fincially ready to bear all burdens of a married life.However the recent trend is late marriage.the couples first live together for two to five years and then decide to marry eachother.This is not allowed in Indian culture.So we decide our children's marriage when the boys reach the age of thirty and girls reach twenty five,some times even earlier if they are financially sound.thanx.

Thanks for your response, and have you realize that come we stay is becoming the order of the day, which after sometimes you either decide to get married or not, by the way is it the best way, in some culture like masaai in Kenya once the girls have reached the gae of 12 years you are given a husband, gauze what you'll 60+ old mzee with about 3 to 5 wives. What they value most is cattle.

I don't think that age is really the factor as to when to get married. It has to do a lot with the individual person. I do however think that they would be better off waiting until they have finished college, or they have a good job, emotionally ready for that commitment, and are ready to settle down. While there may be a few that are ready, I do think that 20 or younger are not ready for marriage. They are too young, they have not really done anything in their lives. And for the most part ones that get married at that young of an age end up in divorce, I'm not saying all end up in divorce but the majority do.

People usually say one should marriage around 22-27yrs of age. But what I feel is One should Marriage any time after 19,condition the person should be able to handle the responsibility after Marriage.It may be anything related money,family,relations,necessity etc.
