Based on what’s mentioned about the girl under discussion, yes, I think a marriage would certainly add to the problems. Having said that if they’re open about it with a guy who they think can handle it, it could be helpful for a guy to get involved if the root cause of the trouble is low self-esteem. But that means divulging details about her health to other families and doesn’t take much time for word to spread.

Which will cause things to snowball for her.

That’s why I think she should take the time to heal mentally first, and once more mentally strong, then persue marriage.

Family needs to look at the root causes - what is the source of the low self-esteem? What does she cite as reasons for wanting to kill herself? Does she have a plan? Does she have access to weapons? What is her spiritual health? etc etc.

Agree 100%. This HAS to be worked on before she can get married, because if it’s serious suicidal/low self esteem, etc it’s not going to get magically better by geting married.

The parents don’t seem to think this is much of a problem…do they think marriage will “fix” her?
