if you are a Christian, you might want to know at what age Mary the mother of Jesus gave birth.

in any way one looks at it, 15 is young. what does a 15 year old know about life. love alone cannot make the relationship work, it cannot bring food on the table. marriage is not like playing house, there's a lot of maturity that goes with it.

She is WAY too young to be getting married. She needs to grow up and find herself before she should even be thinking about marriage. In the US it's against the law for anyone to get married under the age of 18. Over the age of 16, you can get married, but only with parental permission.

Yes, I think she is too young to get married at that age. When I was 15, I was still studying in the high school. It's better for her to get married after a few years. So she has time to see whether she met the right one. After all, marring to a wrong guy is the most suffering thing for a woman.

what? 15 year old girl? wow, she was too brave. actually 15 years old is not enough age to get married, if she wants so, there will trouble in the forthcoming. Trust me. Why don't she wait for 4 or 5 year late? that's safe age.. while awaiting, she can do better things like school or something worth..

If she's in the US, she needs parental consent, first of all. Secondly, she should wait at least 2 years, until she kows the man better. Even then it's risky. If it were me, I'd wait until I finished high school at least, and then reconsider marrying him. if he's really meant for her, he'll wait. If not, someone else will love her when the time is right.

In my place that age is not yet the right marrying age. She is considered a minor and any marriage rites that would be done will be called voidable marriage meaning that the marriage can be nullified if one of the parties would demand it to be. I just don't know if its allowed in your place. I think being 15 year old she could better herself than getting married at that age.

If they truly love each other what's the big deal? How old is the guy? How long have they known each other? Does their culture marry when they're that young? How do the parents feel about it? There are so many more questions that need to be answered, but if the couple is in love and it is normal for their culture, so what?
