What is the minimum age at which you feel it is socially acceptable for two people to be married? (If theoretically you condone the match in all other senses)
Please no commentary about how marriage is a meaningless institution anyways or how everyone should wait until they're 25, etc. Just minimum age of social acceptableness.

After college..... like 22-23 years old.
ONE BIG THING AT A TIME.
They are not a teenager anymore. They have gotten their degree to get a good job. They are ready to settle down.

It should be a number based on maturity levels, so anything below 20 is too young.
It should allow for the completion of at least a bachelors (even though that is still worthless)
So Id have to say at least 24. Assuming you start college at 20, and finish in 4 years....
People must be SECURE and MATURE, moreso than at 18-19 years old. They need a chance toliveon their ownfirst, to find their individual identities....at least start to

I was married at 19. Didnt think it was too young at the time, but now I am getting divorced because we just grew apart. (plus he is an awfully jealous a**), but anyway. As long as they are over the age of 18, and mature enough to decide if its the right thing.

I'd say around the age of 19 or 20. That way its legal.

At least 18 but just when both partners feel they are emotionally ready for that commitment.
