Should we allow minor marriages?

What's your ideas about minor marriages? Do you agree or disagree with it? I don't allow minor marriages. First, we have to consider the maturity of each individual. They are still too young and not prepared enough for such responsibilities. Second, they have to get a job first. A job that can make the family survive and provide their needs. How about you?

Well, for me, i allow minor marriages as long as the prerequisites are fulfilled: 1. Mature enough to be responsible. 2. Mentally and physically matured. 3. Financially ready. If those conditions aren't met, i'm afraid the marriage should not be allowed. Cheers! :D

I also think that these conditions are needed for good successful marriage. I also think that people should financially ready and should have enough finances before getting married.

I don't like minor marriages . Because they are children. In minor marriages, more chances of divorce . If they are matured they got married .

I don't agree to have minor marriage. When people get married too young, there is a very high chance for them to separate in the future. This is because most youngsters are not very sure of what they really want. Their young hormones make them have the urge to get married yet soon they may realize that they are after something or someone else. Of course financial status is also a factor as no family can survive without proper income. Even if they do survived, they would still have a lot of issues to solved.

Young marriage a big NO for me. It will be a disaster marriage, especially if you are not a good provider for the family. Eventually, the marriage will be wreck apart in the long run.
