Legal age for marriage in India is 18 years for the woman & 21 years for the man. Any infringement of this age limit can be punished under the Child Marriage Restraint Act.

It's my understanding that, statistically, marriages have a better chance at success after about age 26. Before that, people are still growing and changing almost as fast as they were when they were teenagers. I read a synopsis of a study once that showed that peoples brains really are not even fully formed until they are 25, so getting hitched at 18 seems risky to say the least.

There is a reason why most parents freak when their kids think about getting married really young (like 18-21): because everyone who is about thirty or older knows that they were complete idiots at that age and they see a train wreck waiting to happen.

I was 23 and my wife was 21 when we got married. Looking back, we've had a good marriage so far, but it has taken an enormous amount of self-sacrifice, something that is very different for young people focused on career to do (we are both professional classical musicians). I can see how most people would have divorced if put into the situations we have been in. It's been worth it, but I've been very, very lucky, because I picked a good woman--better than I knew at the time. I would NOT advise people to do what we did. I would advise people to have their career and finances set, have a meaningful courtship, then get married after about 18 months at the earliest. For most people, that occurs in the mid-twenties. For performing artists like us, more like the thirties.

I also suggest you seek the council of wise people around you who are older and have been married: your parents or pastor or Rabbi.

Also, remember this: IT TAKES MORE THAN LOVE TO SUSTAIN A MARRIAGE. Marriage does not live by love alone.

Good luck.

It depends on your own personality and your objectives in life....

It depends on how many kids you wanna have....I mean if you have more than two kids, you should at least marry by the age 35....coz if you have your first baby at age 35, third one will be at age approx 40....so when the younger is twenty you will be sixty....I think that is the maximum limit that you can go....I think you got my point here....this is the way you should plan it....

In case you meet a girl whom you think that is the life time partner, then both of you can plan about when to get married....anyway, if you have found the right match, it is advisable not to delay the marriage....

also, it depends on your income and stability in life....I mean you should have an income to run a family and should be able to fill all the requirements of your partner and the children....

and mainly, you should be emotionally matured enough ....

Considering the above you should decide the age that you should get married....

All the best to you!!!!

there is no correct age to get married. You just have to be mature and know that marriage is what you really want. You as a couple have to be able to stand on your own two feet and make your own decisions and live with them. You have to be able to compromise and be able to work through problems! I would suggest talking to whom ever will be marrying you or a preacher or something. Marriage isn't something to go into lightly! I say this because i married way to young...I love the guy still to this day but we were both way to young and it didn't work out!

When you past the bloom of youth......and that is.......when you no longer are thinking constantly literally 24 hours a day about sex.
Sex is fine, but once you married it's takes on a whole new form. And if your still sex crazed in very short time you could realize you married someone you don't really like.

For a male, I believe any time after the age of 30. By 30, you should have sown your wild oats and have a career established. Thus, you won't be derailed by "finding" yourself. For a woman, I believe any time after the age of 28 for the same reasons.

There is no "correct" age to be married, one simply has to be mature and responsible enough to do so.

I don't think there's any perfect age for marriage--it's always going to be rough. And everyone ages at different rates. So I don't know if there's any one age for everyone to be married at.

depends on the state you live in. personal experience though, i would'nt suggest it til your both over the age of 25. by then you have an idea what you are doing with your life, and where you want to be.
