25 up is ideal age-wise, but of course age does not really matter. It's your level of maturity, how prepared are you, and when you have the RIGHT reasons for marrying someone (that includes you love the person and want to spend the rest of your life with the him)

The most suitable age to have a marriage is when you're both able to say that you have reached a mature place emotionally, physically, and most of all financially. I hate to sound materialistic, but in today's U.S. society, financial problems are the #1 cause for divorce. And then probably below that would be the fact that they were just "too young" and didn't have time to figure out who THEY really were as individuals and also what they truly needed in a partner.
Simply put: take time to figure out who you are as an individual first, and what you can bring to the table, instead of looking for a lavish wedding, or for some prince charming/princess beautiful to sweep you off your feet. Love is important, but it is not the only element needed for a successful marriage, it takes work. But if you're with the right person, the "work" will not have to be so difficult.
Cutting down on unnecessary struggles, like lack of finances, lack of emotional maturity, communication difficulties, not sharing life goals, will make the way for a marriage much more enjoyable. At whatever age you can achieve this, that will be when you should marry.

There is really no suitable age. You just want to make sure your life is in line before you bring another life into the mix. As long as you've gotten through school, figured out a life path for you (wether it be more schooling, a job you already have, even a housewife), and you know you love this person with everything you have... then you are probably ready. It's a big thing... think about it.

Due to hormone changes that occur in the mid 20's I do not recommend marrying until the age of 26. This will give you time to figure out who you are. This may sound strange to you now, but take it from me my 25 year old wife just left me. For the past 16 months she has felt increasingly trapped by her marriage and felt that she did not know who she was as a person. Out of the blue she dropped a bombshell that she did not want to be tied down any longer. This has left a wake of pain for myself and 4 year old girl. When it comes to marriage you need to have FOREVER on your mind, if not the pain will be extreme, trust me.

It depends on the girl and on the country.
18 at a bare minimum but really? Somewhere in the mid-20's may be more wise, or even older.
It depends on the individual and on the relationship.

When she is mature enough to know what marriage is all about and the responsibilities that come with it as well as meeting the right person.
