Do you think what's the age is fit for a girl or boy to get married?
I think it depend on the custom and environment.In my city,if a girl is older than 25,it is hard for her to search a good man.I think when we graduate from university in our country,we have been 24,It is so unfair for girls.
What about you?What's your custome?

abroad generally, you can marry whenever you want and marry to whoever you want. THe peer pressure is not as huge as in China but your parents will still expect you to marry a good person and have good kid...

In fact here people get married later. 25 years old for a girl seems to be young to get married. My good friends even got married after 30 years old. Today girls tend to get married later because of many reasons, such as career, finance etc.
I love China

That is a difficult question to answer. Like you said, it could depend on custom and culture. I live in Southern California in the US. There are so many different cultures here. Everyone seems to do things their own way.
I think it has more to do with maturity. Some women may be mature at 18, while others may not be ready (especially for children) until they are much older.
I did things backwards (according to some...). I have my first child at 22, the second at 25, then married at 32 to a man that was not the father of either of my girls. For me, that worked out well. For others, that may not work.
I guess it really depends on the person.

For me Age doesnt matter at all, at least 16 above ,young and old are fit to get married as long as they are physicially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, socially ready for life long commitment. Who is responsible and mature enough to handle family matters and willing to sacrifice and compromise on each other.

I don't think that it is the age of a person that matters, I think it should be the maturity of the couple that is taken into account.
For me, I know that I wouldn't think about getting married at the moment. From about 23 I think I would begin to think about it, as I would have finished university by then and I would have a good job and would be able to afford to take care of a family.
