My 24 years old who has professionally successful career (being a manager role at microsoft), I thought she would not have problem getting good proposals but I have shock of the life when she was rejected due to her age.
I am wondering what is right age for a young girl like her to get marry?
Do I need to panic or we still has time?
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
Max age range for a girl to marry her off is 15-17. Yes sir, too late.
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
I don't think shes old and no don't worry !Pray for the best I am sure you'll find someone, look for people who are not so shallow, age is only a number.

They might have some other objection but used age as an excuse. People can use any excuse which may or may not be right. Just consider it as a blessing in disguise and move on. The guy and the family must not have been good for the girl and there must be some better person for her. The girl and the family shouldn't take anything personally in the rishta process and should quickly move on until the right guy comes along and then the process just proceeds to conclude happily. Best of luck.

Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
The problem is most the Pakistani professionals she meet r too liberal lifestyle (drinking seems to fashion today) fwhich is big no for her.
One of best friend asked a pakistani friend to recommend someone for her who is good person and do not drink and other lifestyle issues. The guy asked if she is looking for a FARISHTA?
That is reason were willing to consider someone professional with good KHANDAN and middle class upbringing might be more suitable but then these kind of shallowness come into play.
I was very comfortable till now, but after this suddenly having a panic attack.
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
What?
... she's getting rejected because she's 24? O_O
I'm in big trouble. Right now I'm only 17, but after getting my degree and doing residency, I'll be around the same age. Now I'm worried too!
And is it really that hard to find shareef Pakistani boys? I hope not, because I'm not willing to compromise on that fact. They expect girls to be pure, they should return the favour.

Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
If you're Pakistan-based, yes it does matter to a lot of families. Even if their own son is 36 they would still want a 21 year old girl for him.
However, I have noticed that the families in which the members are very educated themselves, understand that education and career-building does take time and since they are looking for someone to match their standards they don't really care that much about the age. But I would advise you to step on it and use different channels to find your daughter the best match. May Allah do whatever is best for her.
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
I thinks she has passed her self date, her only option is to turn into a nun. Let us all join hands and devote ourselves to a life of celibacy. Amen.

Dear..nothing like that exists........i hate to break it to you....but thats the truth :(
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
Im 23 (final year med) and my parents are looking for a boy for me who is similar to what you are looking for...educated, good khandan and doesnt drink and is moderately religious.
And yes its tough, very tough.
The thing is.........I have been rejected because of my age for being too young!!
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
Here I agree with Ashy... as people use different excuses everytime they reject rishta's. Don't worry about your daughter age.. she is not that old in fact not old.
And please don't get panicked. Just stay calm and keep searching for her match. She will get one when right time comes (and only Allah knows when) but app koshish kerty rahein.
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
a 24yo is too late? that is craziness.
I was married when I was almost 25. By that time I had completed my masters degrees and had worked for a couple years. I was able to take on several supervisory rolls before taking time off to have children.
I think mid-twenties are a good time to get married, but many professional girls I know are married in their late twenties/early thirties, and some in their mid/late thirties, and they seem to be doing well. I think you're meeting the wrong people for her.
Re: Right age to marry for a professional girl?
Lol. No 24 is not old unless you want to get married to someone 25/27.....
If you are indeed looking for educated, decent people it shoudnt be a problem.

You didn't tell the age of the boy who rejected her, he must be 24 or younger.
And how being a professional tied to the age factor?

Is drinking common in your community where you live? I have yet to see that as a requirement, most people just assume he/she doesn't.
There are families and communities (that one which starts with an A) where drinking is part of social setting.

Ok the guy was around 26-27, they want under 22.
Regarding your second question, it is has not on a professional track we would have marry her before or immediately on her graduation.
Earlier I thought that age in not major issue for her due her excellent career path. But suddenly it has become an issue right now.
