do Germans have to get married on a age?

No.  But they do have to have a wedding at the courthouse (like our justice of the peace).  Many have church weddings, but the courthouse wedding is the one that matters to the state.

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...:)

Most parents wouldn't allow their teenager to get married, and rightly so. That's just too young, really. And if there was some kind of family feud going on? Forget it!

I don't see how this could in any way be considered a marriage.\n\nIf a marriage is to produce children the parents have to be fertile at the same time, and that isn't always going to work for 40-year-olds.  Also, children would be the great interrupter in your pattern.\n\nKids like to know their parents as their parents.  There really isn't that much wrong with the traditional marriage.  Let's stick with what we know generally works.

If they are married the child will be a US Citizen. Many countries will allow a child to have dual citizenship, but he/she will have to choose a country at 18.\n\nMy dad is American and my mom is a British citizen, but is a legal alien, and we are all US citizens. We had the option of dual citizenship, but didn't see the point to it. I always knew I wanted to live my life here in America. You will have to check the specifics for Germany, but I'm sure they're probably the same.

I keep passing on Dear Abby's advice, but people keep asking this same question.  No one should get married until they are financially and emotionally able to support themselves.  Neither one of the people is old enough to do that, so no they shouldn't get married.

If you are refering to being married for 20 years, and you are middle aged (ie you got married around 20 to 25 years of age), nope, that's not a long time.  In fact, that's a farily short amount of time.\n\nThe average long term marriage usualy ends after 30 to 40 years, rare if it ever makes it past 40.\n\nSo, if that's not what your asking, you need to be a bit more specific :)\n\n******Addition*********\nSunflower below brought up a good point, however the connotation states that they don't exactly beleive that it happens; however, the concept of time does change when we get older.  \n\nTime moves much more differently for 20 year olds than it does for 40 year olds, at least in regards to perception.  For most people of advanced age, time is of course a constant, however it can drag on without end.  Defining who we are based on acheivements or milestones, isn't eactly how one can properly percieve time.  \n\nWhat we do with our lives, and what we do with our time in regards to ourselves, dictactes how we can properly percieve time.\n\n**********End Addition************\n**********Information based on additions by asker******\n\nAs your question has nothing to do with marriage, and middle aged means betweeen 35 and 45, i would surmies that 20 years is indeed a long stretch of time for such a person.  However, if you really consider what your asking, 35 years - 20 is 15 years old; the perception of time between a 15 year old and a 35 year old is vast.\n\n45 - 20 is 25 years old; the same holds true that the perception of time for a 25 y ear old person is much different than that of a 45 year old person.\n\n25-15 is simply a 10 year difference.  Because of this, we can surmies that man acheives several distinctions and refinements throughout the ages of 15-20, 25-35, and 35-45 with regards to how time is percieved.\n\nI supose this also has to deal with how we wish to see time.  If we lead a stagnet life, where nothing changes, that time itself isn't seen much different than when the stagnation began to show itself.\n\nHowever, if what we have been doing has drastically changed from age 15-35, then i would surmise that our perception also changes; one, for example, is the perception of time moving fast in highschool, and dragging in college.\n\nThe same premise holds true when you consider the ages of 35-45; if one's life has become stable, and predictable, then the perception of time from 35-45 would only changed when that life became stable, and anything thus after would be constant.\n\nI would also assume, however, that from the ages of 46 to old age, that time is also percieved differently.\n\nIf the routine changes, it is not impossbile that our perception of such a time will change.\n\nDo i blieve that 20 years is a long time for a middle aged man; that depends, is the question in relation to 20 years of monotony, or 20 years of constant change; either way it can be long time if it is taxing on the person.  However, monotony is percieved as a long stretch of time; and challenge or excietment is percieved as a fast movement of time.\n\nSo this really is subjective to the experiences, ect, of the person who is asking the question.

There is no expiration date on getting married. If you are not ready, then it would be a mistake for you to marry. A good friend of mine just married for the first time at the age of 46. When the right one comes along for you, then is the time to worry about it. Enjoy life!

Can't say for Germany, as I have never looked into it, but I would assume that they have similar standards as the US does.  US requires legal entry into the US, a bona fide address and a permanent US address for a non citizen to join the military.  Military service can help to expedite someones citizenship, but does not guarantee it.

why do people in this day and age need to get married?
244176
No, they are accurate.  Sorry, even back then 9 was still to young to have sex and 6 was WAY too young to get married.  I am thinking the age was 11 or 12 to be considered an adult and be married.

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.

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!

Sure.  I thik you may be a bit young to get married, but if that is what you want, go for it.
