Are you serious? who in the world is ready to marry at 14? beside the economical situation...which is of great concern...how the hell 2 14 years old can hold a marriage?...they are not responsible...they are not mature enough to carry a marriage on their shoulder...and besides all that! at age 14 they should be at school learning for their they future...and please don't fob off this comment I really want to know your answer...so please let me know your side of the story.

Get married at age 14, how they going to survive?? Not relevant for this era~ People at age 14 in this year are so immature, young and not ready to carry the responsibilities and commitments.(^^)

I really think it varies person to person. And I don't think some people are ever mature enough or secure enough to get married, ever. LOL. But it definitely depends on the person and the couple. Just because you are getting older doesn't necessarily mean it's 'time' to get married. I think that, for me, (not that I even have a boyfriend right now, but still - wishful thinking), I would want to have my education under me, my career in line, to be financially secure, and to know 100% for sure that I want to be with this guy forever.

I agree with you maezee. Get education, be financially secure, then find a guy who you are willing to get married to and live with for the rest of your life. But the person should get married at a reasonable age, like before 40 perhaps? When that couple has a child, hopefully they will be able to see their child get married! By the way, you will never know 100% for sure. There are no guarantees in life and people do change.

Only the people involved will know when it is right. There is no common age for all people. Everyone matures at a different rate. Therefore love and dedication means something different to each person. A person should only agree to enter marriage if they know they are ready for the commitment.

There is no right age to marry. But I think people are becoming smarter these days. Since people are living longer they are not in a rush to grow up and get married. I have to say I agree with them. I made a mistake in getting married and I will never do it again. Do not ever be in a rush to marry. And don't think that you have to be a certain age to marry either. But it is a major step in your life, so you must be 1000 percent sure. If you have any doubts, and I mean any, do not get married, it will only end in divorce.

Hi! As marriage is one of the biggest decisions in life I'd say perhaps late 20's though it depends on the person. For me, I needed someone who was financially and emotionally stable so we could both move forward in life. Having been around several people who were not financial or emotionally stable, it was just too unpredictable and took a heavy toll on me...enough so I could barely think. Sure it is fun to plan for a wedding but be prepared to ask yourself the harder questions; will you be there for him and will he be there for you when times get rough? Will you sense what he needs and will he do the same for you? So I'd say late 20's...perhaps early 30's but it depends entirely on the person....just be careful.

hi asliah, For me the right age to marry, if you are ready to face your future, have a financial, and have a good career, i think for me this is the time to settle your self.

Hi asliah! In my opinion the age of 25-27 is the best age to get married. More is the age of the respective partners, more are the problems in married life in my view (exceptions are always there). Money is always important in stabilizing marriage, if there are financial problems, married life will run into trouble and partners may feel uneasy. It is always better if one has his own accommodation before getting married. What are your own views on this issue?

i personally don't think there is a 'right' age to marry. however, the key to a long lasting marriage (hubby and i will be celebrating our 25th anniversary this year) is to make sure you know what marriage means and that marriage takes a lot of work and maturity.

The right age to marry can not be determined by a number. Many people never buy a house or become stable are they to be denied marriage? It should be determined by a persons maturity. If the couple can get along well and have not too many problems being compatable.

I think it is a different age for everyone. Some people mature faster than others. I waited until I was 32 and my spouse was 34. I thought that it would be a success because we were older. It only lasted 5 years, mainly because he was not very mature and was just playing at being a grown-up.

I think without plans the married will not going to last longer~ It does not just require money and assets but more than that. Both need to ready mentally and physically but it seems that most couples nowadays are lack of it. I don't know what's in their mind when they get married. they should asked more than just whether they love each other...there is no certain age for people to get married. Once they are ready for any thing that nay happen in their relationship and they may get through, I think that's the perfect time for them to get together!(^^)

In my opinion, the prime marriageable age is from 26 to 30 years old. Reasons as below. First of all, we're mature both in mind and body. It's time for taking up the glove for life. Secordly, after several years of hard-working, we have economic fundation. We're able to live a stable life after marriage. As to me, money is not the most important role in marriage. But it's necessary to hold the basis of marriage. That's to say, at least, we need to have enough money for living so as to bond each other. At last, it's the best period for us to have kids during that time.

According to research, the best age to marry for a girl is from 25 to 28 because on this age, it was proven the egg cells of women at this age are well producing good and intelligent babies. If girls get to old to marry, their child are at risk for acquiring abnormalities. One example is down's syndrome.

To be honest it's not really like this for everyone but in a majority of cases getting married means also having a baby soon enough. And a baby really needs stability. I think that's what it's about. Related to the age, I don't think there's a rule really. It's when one decides he/she is ready to make the commitment and build up a family. Some might mature faster, some might have a stable life earlier. Some might have both but not want to commit until older. It depends on each person really. Nobody can tell you when the right time is or when the conditions are right, it's a decision that the 2 involved should make.

it is important to have financial stability when getting married so in order to provide a good life for your family and children..for me, personally if you want to raise a family..for a woman, i think mid 20s to late 20s is the right age so can still bear children or still young and strong to spend time with your children...for a man, he must be stable enough to support a family..

I think the best age to get married is when a person truly matures and learns to accept the responsibilities that go with marriage. Some people would say that when a person reaches legal age would be a requirement but for me that would not be the case as it is only a legal matter.

Well, I think the money is basic thing to support their daily life, most import thing is love to each other.
