How young is too young to get married?

I see individuals (women especially) getting married at ages as young as 20. Someone I know who is now turning 20 just got married, which is why I ask the question now.

But are they mature enough to make a lifelong decision like that? Do we know of any successful marriages of persons that age these days (where they are actually happy about it years later? How young is too young to get married and is there even a 'right' age to get married at?

Either they should move up the age of consent for sex or lower the age for marrige. People respect neither moral conventions so to me it doesn't matter anymore. Age has nothing to do with.. people just not ready to do some things but insist on doinging. If it doesn't work the way they want they're gonna break up anyway.. just like that.. no respect for the institution of marrige from the majority of people out there. People just dont ascribe to the ideals that it represents anymore.

Some people marry for sex and other unnecessary benefits at young ages too. A girl i know , her cousin marry to break away from the way she was treated at home. she married to get freedom and go out and lime at the age of 16. Her marrige is based on sex and still crush-love .. i really hope they work somethin out and come to love eachother. It right to get married at a age where you have matured and can think clearly about the future and your partner's future as well where you can handle responsibilities that you have to face eveday and can arise at any time

Alot of marriage fail because they get married too soon..... At age 20 marriage will be the last thing on one's mind... But some women tend to get fooled by men in most situations... Even if the guy is young too or older... The feelings of a women is so different from a women... Women get fooled by what love is, promises, house, car etc.... Why men marry young is still a question in my mind....

I'm 21 and even a boy/girl relationship is stress for me. Everyone is right it all really depends on the person but ALWAYS on the maturity. Age and maturity are still closely related so I say the older you are the more secure the relationship tends to be.

Look at something Rau my brother is a little younger than you and he never thought of marrying and now that he has a gf for 2yrs now he thinking of getting married already. I mean now children want to see the "good" life so fast not only do they know they will begin to see hard times at an early age and see the true colours of their partner and when their eyes open and start seeing other girls/boys then they would regret it.

age really doesnt mean a thing when it comes to s.ex and marriage....its all about maturity....not physical but emotional or psychological....I personally believe that as a man, I will be ready to get married and have s.ex when I can take up the responsibility to financially and emotionally support a full family.
