How young is too young get married? Should there be a minimum age?

Even 18 is early but yes, I think it should be the youngest to be married. I was married just before my 21st birthday and realize how young I was!! My mother was 19 (1948) and so was my sister (1969). Looking back now, I wish that I had waited a few more years because there was some more living that I needed to do. I love my husband and if we were meant to be together, still, it would have happened. I am now married 33 years.

as long as one gets married because he WANTED to, because he thinks he can handle it. i don't think there is an age for getting married. as long as it is a personal choice. but if you get married at 15...you'd stop living and mmiss the full excitement of your prom!

Things when they happen at appropriate time are good.People should wait till they attain the age set by authorities at their place.However some people get matured earlier than others so it doesnt make sense all the time.But its better to wait till they reach the age,one reason apart from many others is pregnancy at an adoloscent age which is harmful.

yes 18 is the legal age anything below 18 is definately too young but according to me men mature at 24 and gals at 21...so these are the repective ages when two ppl can start a family maarying ppl below that age makes no sense as its time for them to enjoy and marraige is a big responsibility

it all depends on the person...some places beleive young people can get married at a very yound age as 13...i dont know if there is a set age to say your too young to get married...just like i beleive there is not set age to being old or to fall in love with someone.. god writes your love story and he is the best author to write it !!! but i somehow feel that one shouldnt get married before tha ge of 25...before then, you just havent lived enough or expereinced enough or mature to be married. it has to be seen on many aspects and i know in todays generation each and everyone is well aware of whats happening and when they shd get married

This is a tough one! I think people should not rush into marriage and when you are young, you are still changing and growing... I think waiting unitl they are 18 is the least they can do! I think you are not going to love a person more just because you are "married". So why does it matter if you wait a little longer or not?

You should be old enough to be responsible before you get married. How old is old enought to be responsible? That varies from person to person. Some 16 year olds are more grown up than so 30 year olds while some 16 year olds still act to be 6 months old. We can not choose an age and say you are mature marry if you wish just as we can't say if you get married you are mature. Anyone under 18 the age we consider to be an adult and be able to make decisions for themselves should have to have a parents consent to get married but if the parent agrees their child is ready who are we to tell them they are not? They know their child and the circumstances much better than we do. Many will tell you 18 is too young to marry. I married only four days past 18 and no one expected my husband and I to last over a month. I am proud to say that in a few short weeks we will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. Now who is to say that not one (me) but two (my husband and I) 18 year olds are not mature enough to make a marriage last for years, in fact longer than many older adults of today? This is the very reason we can not put an age on when someone can marry.
