Do you think it is okay for young women (15-35) to move out of their father's house without being married?

Question

I think women need to be protected by a male relative. They have always needed one, but they need one even more now. Also, they need a male relative to guide her and discipline her when she misbehaves. Many women would rather submit to their husband rather than to their father at that age so it also encourages them to get married.

Answer 1

Fifteen to seventeen, no. But once they go to college, it's their choice. But at any rate, yes. Females do need to be protected more when they live on their own. However, We all already know what you think. And you already know what I think. Which is that SOMEONE, is fine. MALE, is less fine because to people of the opposite sex living together will have temptations to have sex with each other. Even relatives. AND, misbehaving, is something that a dog, or child does. (Two-eleven). Not something a young woman does. At that time she is still an adult, even if she is a young woman, she is still a woman. And as long as she is responsible, then she should be able to move out. Yes, with a roommate would be preferred. But NOT male!

Use your freaking head! Let the girl live her life!!! Let people live by their own choices, let them make their mistakes! That's the only way they will learn. And people can still learn from someone elses mistakes

Answer 2

The age of 15 would be rather young, but once a woman is 18, there is nothing wrong with her moving away from home, even if that means living by themselves.

Your views are way outdated, quite frankly. Women are very capable of and do stand on their two feet without a man there to support them. This is the 2000's; it's time to catch up with society.

Answer 3

I'm hoping for under 18, you're talking about emancipated minors because otherwise that's too young to be our on their own. I was never completely out of my parents' house until I was 23 or 24. Other than college, I did move out once, but it didn't work out so I had to move back in with my parents for a while longer. With inflation, it's more difficult for any single person, male or female, to live on their own. So I can understand some children living with their parents longer than is traditionally accepted. But I don't feel that women need to live with a man, be it family or her husband. I do feel that women shouldn't move out until they have basic knowledge of self-defense, household maintenance, and budgeting. And naturally, they need a good dose of common sense. That being said, I've been happily living on my own for the past 8 or 9 years.

Answer 4

Yes, women can live on their own without being married or protected by a male relative. Seriously, you ask these sexist questions all the time. Do you ever read the comments? How many times do you need to read "You are living in the dark ages" for it to finally sink in?

Answer 5

I think 18+ is okay AFTER High school. I kinda have a hard time believing a 30 needs to be disciplined by her father. Granted you do see it in rare cases on cops that is what happens.

Answer 6

First off, the age of majority in most states is 18, so parents are legally financially responsible for children until that age.

Other than that, it's an individual decision when to move out of the house.

I should seriously hope that after 22 or 23 an adult child would no longer be dependent. A 35 year old living with parents is way off base.

I think what we are discussing is a cultural variation, and you just keep forgetting to mention it. Apparently you are not acclimated to Western culture.

People will interpret your questions differently if you make it clear that you are not of Western culture.

In that case, and I do believe single women in Eastern cultures remain at home with their parents, then sure, she should stay home.

Answer 7

Girls don't need a strong arm as much as they need self-esteem.The harder you push,the more they rebel.If you teach a girl to like herself and instill strong values(particularly with how you treat women) she will be fine.I don't think a 15 year old should move out but by 20 something definitely,even if she is not married.I would not encourage any of my children to get married at all,it's a broken and silly ideology anyway.

Answer 8

Of course. Maybe not as young as 15-17 because at that age we're all still growing up. If the lady is that alone, she could get herself a dog or something. It might even be her thing to be independent.

Answer 9

Do you still think we live in the middle ages? Woman should have the same rights as men. If you want any relationship with a woman to work, you are the one that is going to be submitting my friend.

Answer 10

18 and older I think is fine, only if she is mature and careful. I don't think a woman needs a man to protect her until the day she dies, there's pepper spray and tasers for that. Also, why does a woman need a male to protect / discipline her? Children need discipline from both parents, a grown woman does not need discipline.
