okay this is obviously a topic that the east and the west have its differences and every culture thinks differently

In the UK people are now waiting till there 30s and 40s to get married, although this can later cause problems with concieving.
Whilst in pakistan there are people as young as 16 with children of their own, especially girls although there can be some pressure on guys too

Now the difference are bount to happen, but what is really strange is the attitude towards it. I know a couple of my goray friends were talkin about someone getting married at 24 and how it was really young and how they would never be able to give up their freedom at such a young age:bummer:

Now I’ve even had a pakistani friends married by the age of 16 and recently a couple of my friends got married at 19 and 20 too.

I personally think I wouldnt get married until I had finished my education and my parents have no problem with this but I know there are those who get engaged or married whilst studying and their parents are the ones that insist upon it. isnt it harder to handle domestic life and education? then again it’sprobably not that different to a 9-5 job

Okay so the questions remains:

what do people in general mean when they say ‘marriagable age?’
what would u define as marriagable age?
are men likely to get married at an older age?
and is there an equal pressure put of girls and boys in asian communities to get married at a certain age? and if so why? :rotato:
and the age old question: is there pressure put on men to get married after a certain time? or is it just that they can get their parents to do delay it for longer?

sometimes its very hard to handle domestic life and education but if you have an understanding husband phir everything works out for you.

p.s…marriage is something that a person should decide for themselves ..its not something you can just try for a while…its a lifetime commitment so whenever you are ready then get married…dont care about people telling you ohhhhh ur too old now should get married…all that is crap…i got married when i was 21…all my american freinds thought i was crazy but i knew k its not crazy…it was the right time and the right decision for me.
