| [slm] I got married when I was 16. Alhamdolillah we have been happily married for 6 years and have two wonderfull kids. Personally I think the right age or the right time or even the right partner has already been chosen for us by ALLAH. That said ,it is also up to the individuals and also depends on the age tradationally preferred in one's family for marriage. And yes it never hurts to hold degree. BUSHRA. |

| Assalamu alaikum, I don't think the actual age meaning number of years matters. It's whether you feel it's the right time or not. Certainly 24 isn't too old!!!! :) That would leave a lot of people out there with not much chance to ever get married! |

| Assalaamu-alaikum!!! <Nah their wrong 22-25 is the best age -After u hold a degee, to secure ur future Also help urself to get ready for marriage as well> My sentiments exactly!!! Once your educational ambitions are fulfilled, you should be getting married, as the jobs will come along no probs. Yes yes, go chekc the JOBS thread, blah blah! I'm talking about people should not be too picky and choosy. A degree dont mean a guaranteed top job. You gota work your way up. Patience. I agree with Mariam, it depends on when you feel the right time is. However i think 23/24 for a girl is a bit on the oldish side, as women start loosing their looks quicker (i'm gona go and hide before the missiles start flying)!! SOmeone from this board also said to me that a bro around 22 may be a bit childish! I doubt it. The childish thing starts to go once your about 16, 17. I dont know too many bros around 22 who are childish, although thier is one guy, i see him often, in mirrors :( Anyway it depends on when you feel ready, and when the time feels right, but 23/24 is startig to get on the OLD side. We should be encouraged to marry young, as its what the Great Prophet Muhammed (saw) encouraged us to do. Wasalaam Mujaahid |

| wlm Me? When I was 14 and have been married for a lil over five years and SubhanAllah we are terribly happy :) :) My husband is 27 y/o and boy are we alike haha, of course I am more mature ;) (better stop he will be making his entrance any day now and he may wander over here! Yikes~ ;-D Btw, I completed my highschool in-home (which thats the way I have done school all my life. And now InshaAllah I am pondering on what I want to become hmmmmmm..... He is teaching me Spanish (since he is hispanic), takes care of he baby FULLY on weekends; so I can rest!! Oh! The list goes on and on!! He has helped me to better my deen and I believe that that is MOST important, he does encourage me to get educated due to the fact that you never know what may happen yet our main goal is to help each other in our Islaam, by encouragng one another to do more acts that would please Allah ta'aala. He goes to an Arabic class (although I know some Arabic, enough to read) he teaches me a whole lot more. I believe thats what makes a marriage work no matter how old or how young (as long as your ready) is holding onto Allah, understanding, communication etc... These things are so vital. Which Allah ta'aala is helping us so much with Allahu Akbar!!! btw he is gonna use his name as his username (Othman) Your happy Sis Jenna :-) |

| I was 25, after I had finished my Masters. I had actually got engaged in the final year of my BSc but my husband's visa got refused, so we had to lodge an appeal which took two years. I think 25 was the right age for me as I'd had a chance to get a decent education and job. I think the only thing that I do perhaps regret is not having children sooner, but as with all things we can plan as much as we want, but at the end of the day everything happens only at the time it is destined to happen. So why stress about being too old or too young...it'll happen when Allah wants it to ! |

| as salaamu alaykum, [quote]Someone on this board said to me that marrying at age 23/24 was too old?? [/quote] grr.. that sort of attitude really irks me.. we're not the Nation of Islam y'all! There's no specific age or age range that's ideal for marriage. It's all about finding the one your heart lines up with. And sometimes that doesn't happen in the 18-23 age range for sisters. go easy on your single bros and sisters man :) wasalaamu alaykum :-) |
