The RIGHT age for marriage is when you've found the RIGHT person. Don't worry about numbers.

In my own opinion, I may marry if I already have my own job and I can stand by my own self. I should also finished helping my parents. But it will also depend if that right man who truly loves is already born...heheheh...actually I'm not yet thinking about it.....It's a sacrament that everyone should think about it seriously...

it's not really depend on the age but on the maturity level of the person. if one can handle responsibility well and is matured enough to face all the odds and consequences of marriage, then he/she maybe ready to marry. marriage is a very crucial situation so it's better think a hundred times before getting into it. good luck

I think the age for marriage is between 25 to 28 because at this age we have enjoyed our teen age and we are mature enough to understand our responsiblities and also we can make our future plannings better. Also I think its the right age to understand our partner and we can have sufficient time to understand each other.

I don't think one can really say what an appropriate age for marriage would be. I believe it depends on the couple and their individual situation and love for each other. I do believe people should be at least 18 years old though. But after that, I think it is entirely up to the couple. Some people are very mature at 20, while others need more time to grow up before getting married. There are a lot of things to consider before getting married. I think it is very important that man and woman are sure they really love each other and have already established good communication. That is the key! It is important for them to really know each other - likes, dislikes, morals, values, ... I got married when I was 24. I think that was a great age for me. Notice I say for me. I was ready and I truly loved my husband. I had no doubts. At 24, I feel I had some time before marriage for myself. I was able to finish my bachelors degree, travel, and live on my own a little. This time to myself helped me grow and learn more about what I wanted and didn't want. I highly recommend that someone has some time to themself before marriage for this reason. so, no, I don't think you can really say you have to be ___ age before you can get married. It just depends on the person/couple.

I think it depends on the maturity level of the two entering in marriage.My husband was 22 and I was 20 when we got married. So in one sense age doesn't matter as long as you know it's going to be forever.

Whenever you're really in love with the other person and are ready to handle everything that comes along with it.

IF YOURE A WOMAN I THINK THE RIGHT IS 25 BECAUSE BY THAT AGE YOU ALREADY ENJOYED TEENAGE LIFE AND HAD ENOUGH EXPERIENCE TO FACE A NEW STAGE OF LIFE - I GOT MARRIED AT VERY YOUNG AGE AND I NEVER ENJOY MY TEENAGE LIFE AND NOW IM REGRETING IT.

It depends on the circumstances and your priorities. If you need to raise a child, don't go beyond a child bearing age. Otherwise, it is your wish and will.

helo...as what i've noticed in this round wideworld, teenagers are getting married too early but in my side it would be better to marry if you have finish everything you need to finish in life just like finishing your studies, go to work, honestly to be rich..well, i don't know what's the exact age but for as long as you feel you wanted to, then grab it..marry the man of your dreams..if he wanted to marry you..

to me at 23 is the right age, but I got married until I was 27.
