I think they should be an adult - at least 18 , but maturity and love are the most important factors in making that decision.

Do I think a person should get married at a certain age? Not really. Age isn't the important thing. Maturity is the important thing. Where age comes into play is with the external social systems that we must manipulate or live "within." Prior to being married, it is highly advantageous to have finished school and to have a job. Two can not live as cheaply as one. Persons under 21 have NOT experienced the realm of possibilities out there that will influence the choice of a spouse. Don't marry too young, simply because there is too much of life in front of you that needs to be not only experienced, but measured and learned from.

I have a view. I was married when I was 18. I thought I was ready, and that he was the one. I was wrong, and after three years we got a divorce. I am lucky that we are still great friends. Age is an issue. When you are 18 you think you are mature, and you know what is going on. But when you are 25 you still feel the same way, but realize how dumb you really were when you 18 and thought you knew it all.
Age isn't the determing factor, but it should be a consideration to some degree. I have learned that sometimes you can feel what is right, and sometimes you can't.
I am remarried now, and I feel much better about it. I have a great husband who loves me, supports me in everything, and stands with me in life.
My parents weren't too excited about the first marriage - they said I was too young- but agree with my choice now. I have been married now for almost two years, and it was a good choice. I was also more stable financially, and had the chance to be young, and do fun stuff without having to answer to anyone.
I suggest people who are young who want to get married to think about it. Marriage is a job. You have to answer to someone, you can't just spend money without thinking about it and talking about it with another person. You have lots of limits, but they are worth it. I also think lonliness shouldn't be a consideration. Just because you feel lonely and don't want to be anymore, then don't settle.
Enjoy life no matter what - it really isn't that long!

HELL NO !! I think it doesn't matter how old you are you will know when it is right !! Now I don't suggest going out and getting married at 18 or anything but I know plenty of people who were married at 18 or even younger ( my in-laws got married at 15 and 16) and all but 1 couple are still happily married all with over 20 years of marriage under their belt!! Every person is different and every relationship is different so you can not set a deadline it will happen when the time is right!!

I would have to say no. I am 21 and have been dating the same guy for almost 4 years. We are waiting another 2 years till we get married. You just need to know in your heart when it's right. I don't think anyone can tell you a specific age that will make sure that you are ready. Every person is different and thats what you should remember. Just trust in yourself and you will know when it's time.

we live in a different era now standards have changed and values have changed its not what it was like five to ten years ago
if you are over the age of twenty five yes you can marry you might have a job and financely secure.to manage. you can marry at any age. some may remarry at the age of forty for love and roman ace. sometimes in a relationship it needs some spark to keep it going.I don't believe you can marry under the age of 19 . you marry at an age where there is a level of a high degree of understanding in life and an understanding of settling down. that comes with age and when the time is right.

I think you should be mature enough to get married.Mature,emotionally,financially,physically and spiritually.Marriage is a commitment and a responsiblity.So if you are not prepared for it,then dont.You will just end up hurting each other and eventually the kids.How old?27 or above,i think by this age you have done so many things in life.Most important,you have a good job and the things i have mentioned.

there are two answers to this question.first one is for people well setteled and other is for strugglers.getting married in life is verry important,but as it is a responsibility you first of all need to be earning on your own and to take care of your family.if you have all back up from your family get married ta 25,if you have to do every thing on your own then get started at 30.
