People prefer to get married after they have settled their life but not everyone can achieve a settled life as per their expectations so sometimes i wonder what is an age that one should tie their knots and get married may be 24,25 or may be even 30.But what is the minimum and the maximum age that one should wait for?

Marry or Not Why because at this moment this what I feel maybe lot of responsibilities that I not yet done in my life..I about to marry soon maybe this month or next month..For me theirs no right or wrong age for marriage if you only ready to take the responsibilities of being a wife and a mother to your child why not..but in my side why i need to think other people says if I love the person I will marry to.

There is no particular age but i think when a person is mature enough then that person can tie the knot and yes person must accept all the responsibilities that comes with marriage.

It really is not about the age but the maturity that a person has which matters most when deciding to get married. There are people who are old but have the maturity of an 18 year old.
The decision to get married is also influenced by the priorities set by the person. Those who want to have a more stable life for their future family would tend to marry at a later age. While those who really want to raise kids tend to marry at a much younger age. It is easier to have children when you are younger than when you are older.
Still, what is important in any marriages is that it is founded by love and the couples will try their best to work hard to make the marriage work.

Maturity plays a vital role in marriage as if you are not matured enough you will not be able to get married and yes if a couple wants a child they should prefer marrying at a younger age say 21 or 22 and for those who wanna get settle in life then 25 or 26 is the perfect age.

i got married at 26 and for me, this age is just right for marriage. It's a time when I'm no longer too young but I am not yet old. In my observation, it seems that more and more people are getting married beyond thirty. Personally, I would not recommend this especially for women. Women have a body clock and the best age for child bearing is between 24-28. I got married at 26 hoping to have a child by the time I was 27. Unfortunately, we waited 3 years for our first child. If I had it my way, I would want to have a child earlier. However, if a woman has no plans of having a child, I guess she can marry at any age she wants.

Well said even I am fine with the age range of between 25 or 26 because one is matured enough to take decisions and its neither too early and neither too late and for women or girls they must get married at the age of say 23 or 24 if they are planning for children as after 30 its not healthy to have a child.

hi gamma! for me i think 26,to 30 i don't know why i choose this age, to get marry but maybe because this age is the mature enough to handle situation and to handle a marriage, because marriage is not a game.
