as for me, there's no specific age by which it is ideal for someone to enter the married life. it though requires a certain level of maturity for one to handle. i guess the age by which that certain level of maturity is achieved varies from person. Normally you emotional maturity and stability comes with age, mind-set and experience. Also, we must consider that before one enters the family life, he or she must be able to carry on with the responsibilities attached to it. it does cost to build a family. it would need for someone to at least be financially independent and stable for one to be able to support his/her family. i guess that's one consideration by which age again will be a factor. you are normally expected to be able to have a job that will earn you a living after you have finished school. that's around your early 20s. For women, it is also a fact that the more you delay your marriage (e.g. late 30s onwards), the more it is harder for you to bear a child). that's biology. that's why when biological clock ticks, some girls gets startled and just plunge into it without any other consideration.

you're right, its a serious responsibility to take..which that would be for the rest of your life. An i think, it needs totale preparedness in everything. Well, it's funny to know but I agree with you..some just plunge easily on it without any considerations.

Maybe when you are emotionally and financially ready then you're all set. Goodluck :)

In my view, a tender age of 18 will do. Even if we say 30 or 40 years old there are still married couple who breaks up even at a later age. I will depend on the companionship of the couple and how they will adapt with problems that face marriage.
