Divorce? Quite frankly, some people are not mature enough to be getting married in the first place. If society wishes to see the number of divorces for frivolous reasons decrease, then it would be wise to get rid of this idea that people should be married by a certain age or because “it’s time” and rather, advise people to wait until they are mature enough and ready for the responsibility of marriage. Being a certain age or having finished one’s degree does not make one ready for marriage. It is maturity that determines that.

That said, if someone is immature enough to enter a marriage when they know they are not ready simply because others tell them to do so, they only have themselves to blame if the marriage ends badly.

Maturity isn’t reached at a certain age. I know of girl who got married when she was 16 (3 years ago, in pakistan and no it was not forced,) and is handling her household just fine.
My own brother got married at 34 and wasn’t mature enough to handle the married life and divorce in few months.

Parents need to realize and know when their child is old enough and mature enough ( if the parents are involved in the process at all.)
