Why is 16 too young to get married?

Answer 1

Its not, well not if you go to Scotland, then its legal. I got married when I just turned 17, still married after 56 years.

Answer 2

First earn enough for a family then think of marriage.

Answer 3

Because you are still legally considered a child until your reach 18.

Answer 4

It’s not necessarily too young, but why get married so early? If you stay together until you are old enough then there’s a good chance you’ll work out. At that age, you don’t even know who you will grow into!

Answer 5

16 is way too young. You have too much to experience as an adult before you settle down. I was 38 an my wife was 31 when we got married and we have been together for 20 years and counting.

Answer 6

25-30 is ideal for most people.

Answer 7

Because youre still in high school, and you probably arent financially independent

Answer 8

I dont think its too young for a women, especially a noble virgin. its too young for a man though.

Answer 9

16 year-olds want to have sex. The only reason they might want to get married is if they're convinced that's the only way they'll get to have sex. But a 16-year old is a kid who is unprepared to make big decisions about life; like who to have babies with and to spend the rest of life with. If you are 16, GET RELIABLE BIRTH CONTROL and have fun. When you're in your twenties you will be so glad you waited.

Answer 10

Because you have about 10 years of maturity and emotional growth left.
The end result will be far different than your perspective of it now.

Answer 11

16 feels "old enough" when you're 16 but when you're 22 or older, you'll realize just how young 16 truly is. Heck, I didn't even hit puberty and start menstruating until I was 17 because I was very active and just a late bloomer! Our brains don't even fully develop until we are 25. You will change so much as a person over the next 10 years- your values, beliefs, morals, priorities, interests, wants, needs, dreams, goals, etc. They will change, I promise you. Marrying someone now would put you at risk for incompatibility as you (both) age, mature, and change.
