What's your opinion on a teenager getting married?

That is, after the age of 16 of course





Do you hold that opinion because of the society we live in?





Why do you say that?What's your opinion on a teenager getting married?
If you're going to fornicate than get married and do it and honestly teens are becoming physically mature-er than the teens many years ago. No big deal. The guy i'm supposed to be marrying is 18 but who cares cause the average age teens have sex in America is 16-17 so no big dealWhat's your opinion on a teenager getting married?
My opinion is that that teenager may run bigger risks of getting divorced eventually than if he/she were more mature. It has little to do with the society we live in, it has to do with the ways of the world and how life is ever changing, even more so when one's younger. I also think that the teenager in question may run the risk of missing out on his/her education due to the need to work early in life. Of course, that has to do with how society is organized but is that teen expected to go on living under the parents roof together with his/her wife/husband indefinitely? So, to sum it up I think that an early marriage can easily be the cause to many later problems.
I think it's too early for teenagers to get married. They're not mature enough (not physically of course) to get engaged and usually are prone to follow their hearts, feelings, and make irrational, and too sudden decisions without using their common sense and considering their future consequences of their decisions.


Most of them just want to get married without having an own flat, job, financial background to establish a family on their own, / on the other hand they cannot always rely on the support of their family members once they have a newborn baby who needs to be raised, given foods, clothes, and lots of time to spend with.





Most teenagers are full of energy, and want to enjoy life as long as they're energetic, and many of them also want to spend time planning their careers by continuing their studies after graduation. This takes a vast amount of your free time away. Do you think you will have enough time for making love, mutual programs with your ';chosen one'; every day? Possibly not, and if neither one of you have enough time for one another, it will only lead to conflicts and - and in the end divorce. Not mentioning the question of how would you be able to manage your time in between your studies, your work, your free-time, and your newborn baby (if you make one)? Think about it.





Once you have the financial means and social background for starting a family, once you begin to think with an adult head, by making responsible and well-balanced decisions should you start thinking about the idea of getting married. Until then - enjoy your youth, plan your future career, study, and gain experiences that all lead you to becoming an adult. Good luck :)
Salam for you, In my opinion a teenager getting married is ok as long as (1)her husband has the same religion with her,(2)her father gives permission,(3)there is no force and(4) her husband has enough income for the cost of living. and could pay mahar or wedding gift.


I say those as the minimum requirements based on hadith of Muham


mad pbuh
I think it's purely the choice of that teen, if they are ready then why not.





I personally agree with getting married at a young age, but not teens. I would rather Marry when i'm done with education and settled than marry in my teens which would disrupt my education and would mean more responsibility.





I think it's all a matter of opinion and maturity.


Some mature at an earlier age, some later. I don't think all teens are irresponsible, past experiences, morals etc make people mature in different ways.





Though, they must be abbsoloutely sure that it is what they want. After all they're still young and vunerable to making mistakes.
I'm a Muslim teenager and I know quite a lot of girls my age getting married. Even though I do agree that marriage is better than fornication, and a lot of kids these days are committing premarital sex, i still believe that marriage is NOT the answer unless you know yourself 100% that you love that person and that you will never change your mind. I do believe that peoples' personalities and likes/dislikes change over the years, thus marrying at 16 is not as sensible as at 26, because you are still maturing. Yet again though, I do believe if you are very mature and know that that is the right thing to do and that is the only person for you forever, then ofcourse they should do it.
these days the majority of teens are too irresponsible and confused,


but some individuals are surprisingly sophisticated and mature


and if they feel ready, then of course they should get married...but they should def. complete schooling or get a solid job in addition to the marriage, just in case





this goes for any teenager, not just Muslim teens





:)








Allah(swt) knows best
High chance of divorce...





I say this because at the age of 16, your brain and personality are still developing.





At 26, you are a completely different person than when you were 16. Now, that isn't saying that you can grow WITH your spouse...it's just that you may also grow into completely different and incompatible people.





And at the age of 35 you may look back at the loss of your teenage-hood and think, ';Why didn't I have fun when I had the chance?!';





I'm sure this same thought has triggered many a mid-life crisis.
If my daughters want to get married at 12 I'll let them. Anything before that is not happening. I'm not joking either. My husband has also said that at 12 his daughters can get married if they want to. As long as she gets her period, and her cousin will treat her good, I don't have a problem with it. Maybe if more teenagers got married, then there wouldn't be so many teenage abortions, and teenage girls murdering their babies and there'd be less promiscuity among teenage girls today. My big brother-in-law's wife was 14 when she married him(after he paid her $50,000 USD as a dowry) and they have happily married ever since with 10 kids.
Not because of society ..but because worldwide teens are too irresponsible to understand they MUST look first before jumping into marriage. Teens are too narcississtic to value the thoughts and feelings of others to understand what the word love means.
i think its ok as long as they are mature and able to. In Islam getting married at a younger age when able is better to keep your mind pure of bad thougts and such. So i see nothing wrong in doing so.
I think its actually normal in Islam... I just got used to it. I guess its because everyone I know got married in their late teens.
I would say it is better to get married than to fornicate.





~*WHO*~ on God's green Earth made it alright to make love and have babies as young as 15? WHO?!
Teens are too irresponsible to be married no matter what country they reside in and they do not have enough accurate view of world or self or others to understand that but will always believe they are smarter than the entire planet.
As long as they are in love and not forced into a marriage than I'm fine and have no judgment on it. But in my opinion - too young.
being a teenager, I believe that if the relationship is good and well then marriage can wait :)
why ';after 16 years of course';?





if a girl has her period she is considered a woman
A bit young but whatever works
stupid.


their going into adulthood too early, its just a bunch of kids playing house.
if she/he is mature..why not
Irresponsible.





I just think they are too young...and they might be immature
