Marriage Age

We all know age is just a number.

At what age did you get married or are considering getting married or at least engaged and what would be their age?

I think 26 is a pretty good age to get married for a guy and a girl to be round 24.

21... not a very good idea tho..

Re: Marriage Age

Even in Western culture....women will admit that it becomes challenging to find a partner the older you get.

And in desi culture......it's even tougher.....with the double standards....and meshing your individual requirements with those of one's parents.....rishta prospects dwindle for girls the older they get. So, this sad reality can't be ignored.

However, at the same time, I believe that Allah's time schedule does not correspond with ours. There are real-life examples....where you plan meticulously....and everything is ready to go.....according to your expectations and those of society's standards........and BOOM.........it doesn't go through. And it also happens that things you may have had to wait a long time for.....were worth the wait.

Allah has a plan for everyone....it may include marriage at an earlier age (with accordance to society's expectations)....or at a later age......it may include more than one marriage.....or no marriage at all. That said....the "right time" varies for everyone.

^And considering that everyone matures differently...and varies in terms of personality and perspectives.......there is no "right age." Varies according to the individual...and divine plan. Pray for the rest....and do what you feel is right for you. In the end it's YOU who has to deal with the challenges of a marriage.....not society.

What Magic 8 Ball said. It will not be so until Allah SWT says it is so.

Re: Marriage Age

I dont think there is any particular age. IMHO...it varies from individual to individual. Some people are mature at 21 and some reach that mentality at 30.

Nowadays...its what you make of it. You want to get married at 22? Be my guest. You want to get married at 40? Fear not my friend because 40 is the new 30...;)

Re: Marriage Age

for girls I would say 18-22 is ideal, for guys 25-30

Ideal age to get married is 25. I was married at this age.

Re: Marriage Age

btw age is when u fall in love :wub:

I really think its the mid 20s...

Re: Marriage Age

i'm 24 and not married. i dont know if i'm mentally ready for it but i guess time will tell.

Re: Marriage Age

Age should not matter. It should depend on

  • maturity
  • stability (financial mostly)
  • and clicking

I got married at 26 while she was 21. I was in early days of my career after finishing masters and she barely finished her graduations (in fact she gave her final exams after our marriage)

Ideally, early 20s is the age for both girls and boys.

But who gets to live the life nowadays :halo:

Re: Marriage Age

whatever .. .. ..

if you are mature enough and think that you are stable enough for the marriage .. do it .. .. my brother got married when he was 21 .. .. .. and i have no plans for marriage for another a year or 2 .. ..

your stablitiy does matter to the family
