The 'ideal' age to get married is different for every individual and it's really impossible to say which would be the 'perfect' age because we can't see into the future and therefore can't know whether next year or five years hence might be a 'better' age. When most people decide to get married - in the West, at least - is most often when they know (or think they know) they have found someone they want to spend the rest of their lives with. For girls, the time that they begin to look seriously for a partner is when they feel the need to have children; for men, that may be a factor, but it isn't such a deciding one as it is for girls. Physiologically, there is no doubt that the later you leave it to start a family, the greater the chance that there will be problems with the pregnancy. Probably the ideal age to have children is when you are in your twenties, though, of course, many women have perfectly normal and healthy first pregnancies much later than that.

@rizwanchattha I believe that children in India (and also in some Islamic countries, such as Pakistan) may be betrothed when they are very young. This was also occasionally a custom in Mediaeval Europe, especially where the marriage was for political or financial reasons. Betrothal is quite a different thing from marriage (and also different from engagement, which is an agreement made between two parties who agree to marry but is not legally binding). As for anyone marrying an animal, this is not legal in ANY country that I know of and I'm afraid that you have believed something which was probably posted as a joke, so you can prove nothing. You simply cannot believe everything you read on the Internet!

@Unforgettable_Raja in your country children less than 10 also marriage. I can prove that in your country some young males marry female dog also. I have seen a picture on facebook in which an indian guy marry a female dog.

There is no "perfect" time to get married that applies universally across the board, and if someone tells you there is, they're full of malarkey. It depends on the person and where you are in life and where you're heading and what you want. I married young, right out of high school. I knew it was something that I wanted, and I knew I'd found the man I wanted to be with. That was my perfect time. I have no regrets. However, I also wouldn't recommend it for everyone. In fact, I've talked some of my friends out of getting married because they weren't ready (their relationships all ended up failing within a couple months of me saying this, so I wasn't trying to be mean or judgmental or anything). I've known people who have married for the first time in their 50s, and they found someone they loved very much and lived a happy life. Likewise, I know people who married in their 40s and 30s and 20s and teens. It's really just a matter of who you are and what you want. :) If at 26 you're not ready to get married, then don't! The worst thing you can do is let society pressure you into thinking that you need to be married if you're not really ready for it.

There is no perfect age to get married. What works for some, may not work for others.

Actually there's no ideal age really . As long as the couple is both financially and emtionally stable then that's the ideal age to marry .

What age? Well, how about 50. That sounds about right. Don't do something just because others are doing it. Marriage is a big commitment. Believe me. I have been there and done that. And guess what, I will never do it again. it is an institution and I hated being locked up. I finally got released after 17 years. And it feels great.

@MusesM That's why you shouldn't be in a rush to marry someone. If you do it might not turn out good. Take your time and find the right person.

I am 30 and won't be married until next spring when I'm 31. I've told my fiance we probably won't be having any kids until I'm 35 or so. I think people get married and have kids way too young these days. Most of my friends are already married and have at least one kid as well. I always swore I wouldn't get married before I was 30 and stuck to it!

As long as the person is emotionally, mentally, physically and financially ready to raise a family then it is the right time and I bet no one is ready at the age of 15!

As early as possible i think but you can't just hurry on the relationship, I mean do you even have a boyfriend or something? unless you wanted to have a child, i think you should consider talking it with some one you love. if you don't have a bf better start dating, but be careful with scams out there.

That's a good question, with no definite answer in my opinion. I got married when I was 24 - I was enlisted in the US Army, and kind of rushed into it, and let me tell you it was easily the biggest mistake of my life. So my answer to your question is - whatever age you are when you've found the perfect one for you. Don't get married and settle for someone who isn't perfect for you, because a few years down the road, you're going to have to go through the legal complications of a divorce... probably the crappiest thing you will ever go through, aside from losing a loved one. But hey, there's my 2 cents worth. -Zero

Are you kidding? I mean how can you think you are old for marriage, when you are only 26. The correct age for marriage is whenever you are mentally and physically ready for it. :)

If you are mentally, physically and financially prepared, but as you told us that your friends are already getting married, probably you are just carried away with them, if you are prepared go for it or time will tell.

You're 26 years old. You are still young. There's a lot of reasons why people get married and you should think about that too.
