Any time over the age of 21. Any younger than that, I think people in general don't actually comprehend what they're doing, and even if they do, it's best to wait until you're out of adolescence anyway.

Only out of adolescence? do you think A girl should have a good job before getting marriage?

First of all, I don't think men and women are any different, I think it's about the individual and it has nothing to do with gender.
Secondly, adolescence is a mental state. People under the age of 22 are still developing. I don't know about your country, but here people are considered independent adults at age 18 and they can go to college and get jobs. Most people graduate around 22 or 23. I say 21 because people need to spend the time after 18 to finish growing up. I think getting married at that time is just too soon.
Now, are you talking about when they can make a good decision, or are you lining up requirements to start trying to get married? I don't believe in trying to get married just to get married. I believe in following what you want in life. If someone wants to focus on their career before getting into a serious relationship, that is their choice. If someone is already in a great relationship and wants to get married, that is their choice. A person can get married any time in their life, whether it's at age 21 or 41. I don't believe you should plan your life around it.

I am a female and I believe the best age would be twenty-five because that is like the age after you graduate from school, get a job and an age that is when you're financially stable (hopefully) however there it varies on everyone, I have friends who are married already (at twenty) - I have some people I know family members who are over 25-30 and aren't married!

it's not so much about being the right age as being in the right relationship.
it's not that good an idea to get married too young. I tend to think that being at least 25 is a good idea. this isn't to say that marrying before then is foolish, but that you just have to be very sure. I also think it's good to have been together around five years or so first, so you've been through some ups and downs, and so that you've been with each other through changes in your life.
but ultimately, it's the relationship. a long term, stable, happy relationship with shared experiences, both good and bad.
and there's no upper age limit. I remember seeing a very elderly couple looking at engagement rings, and I thought that was lovely.

I think the most suitable age for marriage is whenever someone feels they are in love enough to be married. Some people mature faster than others, and some mature later. My parents were married at 18 years of age, and they were married for 47 years until my father passed away in 2008.

The age is truly not a factor, as I find that a person has to be ready, financially, mentally and stability before they can actually contemplate marriage.
I believe one individual at 25 may be ready yet others not until they are 30 or perhaps later. So it truly depends but ideally 27 - 30 could be okay.
