I guess it would depend on what state you live in.  I know in Illinois  there is no way your getting married under the age of 18 w/o parents consent.

Is 18 to young to get engaged, i don't think so . have fun with that part.But is 20 to young to get married? well for some people it might be,there are some that get married at that age and are still together and thy were in love and they took that person for better or worse till death do them apart, but there are some out there that should never get MARRIED out there ,they don't no what it really means. And if your worry about missing out on life,you sure don't need to get married. i waited till i was 28 till i got married and that's when life began.

since there is a minimum age for consent for sex(and marriage) for that matter, the probability of marriage increases rapidly once this age threshold is reached. It will taper off once again around late 40s. I think the peak for marriage will probably reflect several factors:\n- gender - men marry generally at an older age, women younger\n- the level of education is also a factor - since education accretion delays marriage\n- the level of employment generation in a community, more developed nations have seen women and men work longer and have less time to get married\n- the community or culture fabric the person belongs - ie arranged marriage or not and the degree to which the extended family interferes with the decision\n- the level of stability of institutions - ie if there is an ongoing war - people would be less amenable to getting married\n- the level of respect for the institution of marriage and alternatives to unions between persons...this can also affect the propensity to get married\n\nWell these are all my thoughts on this interesting marriage.\n\nas one wit said, there are two rings to marriage:\nthe wedding ring, and then the suffering\n\nand no I do not agree with that line...\nI hope to become part of the marriage statistic somewhere next year...:)

You are young yet, so I would wait until you reach the age of 18.  Are there any specific reasons why you would want to get married now?  Or do you both feel its the only way you can have any freedoms that your parents wont allow.

I don't think there is a particular age to get married,  get married when your ready, mature enough to accept all the responsibilities of marriage, and when you have the person  you could not imagine going thru life without them by your side.....

I dont think the Bible specified an age when to get married.

Probably 75 % of the population will get married sooner or later. The remaining 25 % will not, for one reason or the other. I have no statistics either way, only my opinion.

It doesn't matter what age, it happens whenever they get married!  Explain why you asked?....simple, because the bible tells me so!

16 for females and 18 for males to contract marriage.

no! when a girl proposed! the marriage doesnt usually last, we conducted a research, with 2 couples, and 100% they got divorced a month later

That is almost as bad as teenagers having babies. Teenagers don't have the life experience to understand what marriage means. Teenagers should be concerned about having fun. At 18 they can start to worry about grown up problems. STAY A KID AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!

YES definitely, back in the old days girls married at the ages of 12, 13, 14. I hate to say but my great grandmother was a wife, mother, and widow at age 14. Her husband got killed in a logging accident. That is a true story. But yes young girls can give birth but it is probably very hard on them may give them trouble for the rest of there lives!!!

Instead of focussing on the fact that she's mentioned marriage, ask her where she sees herself in five years.  I think alot of young women feel pressures from family and soceity to be the "full package", where they have a family and their dream career.  Maybe she's just trying to get a guy's point of view about getting married at a young age.  Let her tell you about what she wants out of life, and if it happens to include marriage in a few years, don't freak out!  If you're interested in the girl, ask her out and see how things go.  I think it would be weird to start a relationship with someone if you didn't think that sometime down the road you may want to spend your lives together.  Unless you're looking for a fling, most people go into a relationship hoping that things will work out for the long run, which eventually means marriage for some people.  The bottom line, talk to her and let her tell you how she really feels about getting married young.
