how old can you be before you get married?

It depends on what state you live in.  Most states you need to be 18; however, some states you can marry even younger if you have parental consent.  Check your state law.

Sali,\n This is the computer forum, please limit questions to computer related topics. There is a whole category of Romance for you to ask this question in, with better answers, I'm sure. \nMy own advice would be to find out what the laws on marriage would be wherever you are. If you are in the States, the age of consent varies by whatever state you are in. Generally, it is 18. If you are in another country, feel free to consult the laws there for the appropriate age that you can marry.\nBest of Luck to you!

There is the legal age for marriage with in the state, but that's not what people really mean. They are talking about the maturity of those who may want to get married, if you are still in high school, younger than 21yrs, no money, no job, not responsible, a liar, a thief, wanting to run the streets or any thing like that you may be considered too young to get married.

You are too young for this kind of things, Why dont you wait until you are ready for marriage.

not whats on the outside that counts. only you know if you are mature enough to handle a committment like marriage. chances are, if you have to ask, then you're probably not ready. long as you're over 21, age really doesn't have a determining factor as to when one is ready to marry. you'll know when it's time. be happy and rush into nothing. :)

Let me guess - you want to get married in the worst way, right?  Well, doing it when you're 17 is about the worst way to do it.\n\nDo yourself a favor, and wait at least 5 years.  Get a college degree, get some maturity, get an apartment, and live on your own for at least a year.  That means paying all your own bills, including rent, utilities, car, medical, etc.  Then you'll more likely be mature enough to think about marriage.

In my own personal opinion, yes. I believe that 17 is too young to get married. At this age you have barely experienced things--you've been pretty sheltered and gone to high school etc. But after high school and then going to college, it sure does change who you are and how you look at things.\n\nMy finaces sister in law is 19 and I look at her and think, she has no clue about anything in life. Almost all the people in her college classes will not talk to her because she is married. Plus, none of her high school friends will talk to her either now--but I also think this is for other reasons too.\n\nI think there is a lot more stuff you need to experience and discover before you get married--and at 17 most people have not experienced these kind of things. I went to college and I know that I have changed how I think, act and view things.\n\nTrust me, when you get married you will have to worry about things you never had to before--i.e. paying bills, buying groceries, bringing in an income, paying taxes etc. You're 17! Why should you have to worry about things like this at your age? I wouldn't want to--I'd still want to go out and have fun with my friends and raise hell like teenagers do. Ha ha. Rethink getting married--if you two are really meant to be together, then you will wait for each other and get married later. No need to rush into anything.

It's not age... it's about finances and being mature enough to handle marriage.

Until you and your fiance are ready to get married.

There is no definite time to get married - i was with partner for four years before we got engaged and another four years before we got married.  Bring the subject of marriage up and see how the conversation goes.  If you both decide not to get married, you should definitely make a Will each to ensure the other is taken care of should anything happen.  Not being morbid, but unfortunately people often miss out on taking care of their partner due to not being married and making their wishes clear.

The best age for marriage varies for each person. A lot of factors must be considered - background, upbringing, values, beliefs, culture, etc. not to mention personal preferences, but it is ideal that before marriage, a woman must at least be emotionally mature and at best financially independent.

it depends on how big its going to be and how elaborate you want it. some people start planning their weddings a year or more in advance. but if you want a more casual type of wedding, then maybe a few months before.
