In fact, Marriage is a Sunnath of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and every sunnath is good to get benefit for both life

Hadith – Marriage

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty, and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 007 Book No. 062 Hadith No. 004 Narrated by Abdullah

So, we have to take care and handle well of each and every sunnath of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) then differently it will be good for us and we will enjoy in both life.

Sorry & correct me if I am wrong

Help people, the Allah ( God) will help you

I think in general, 30 years old is an optimal age to get married for both (of course there are exceptions).

Once you have hit 30, you are probably mature enough to handle a relationship without silly insecurities. It means you have met enough people in your lifetime to be able to recognise a good soul. It means you have found a good balance between your brain and heart and won't let one dominate the other in your decision making. It means that you have lived long enough to have discovered yourself and what you want in a relationship without being influenced by others. It means you have lived long enough to have your own responsibilities and to establish yourself in the world and don't need anyone to support you. And last of all, it means you haven't lived long enough for you to have lost the childish delight that makes life so fun.

It's only about responsibility when they are sure they can be responsible and they can take care of their partner and a family, they can get married its not about age, a 25 years old man can have the same mentality of a 60 years old man

When you meet the right person, get married irrespective of the age.. As long as you are over the legal age of 18 for girls and 21 for boys..I am 34 and still not married bcoz I have not found the right person yet..

marry them young as they can adopt and mould much easier, compared to the try and tested and used and second hand 30 40 year olds,, Unless of course one is a millionaire..

The rock.. little clarification: the girl (of any age!) "can adapt to the change in environment easily", whereas most of the guys (of any age!) tend to keep their bach habits to the rest of their lives..

In another perspective, ask your self if you want to see your children getting married, and then see your grand children (and perhaps marry them too :)

And then look at the average life expectancy of the place where you live. Simple calculation to arrive at the right age you should marry assuming that the above are important to you.

I admit that this might sound stupid to some.... but i have a friend who always said would wait a few more years before marrying and another married friend who wanted to wait a few more years before having kids. I put these questions to them and they were stunned ... hadn't thought about it at all till then.

If your'e a man, then find a girl of 21 years. That's the ideal age i think. Can adapt to the change in environment easily (if required) and is also mature to handle the responsibilities that come with marriage.

I believe it's wrong to decide which age is right to get married! Many of you, guys, said "it depends on the person him/herself" and that's true! The essence of marriage is the brain (understanding each other and the responsibility marriage requires). You can find some 19 years old male and he understands more than a 28 years old man!! Yes it's rare to see that, but it exists. We can't prevent that 19 youth to marry since we saw how responsible he is. The same thing goes for the females. Age was never a scale to measure the brain's ability. The public view and opinion is that the older the wiser, true but with exceptions.

I agree to let the people marry when thay are ready, no matter what age they are. Everyone knows the best for him/her, afterall.

it depends on what time you are getting married... if you are going to marry for the first time at your 35 it's not too good... if by your 20 your were married already 2-3 times it's also not to healthy...

i would agree with gypsy on it.. if by your 40 you are on your 3d-4th marriage, you are all right...

But who?(In Arabic laakin miin?)

Still looking not easy to find especially in Doha, I am sure everyone would want to marry at the legal age within the country of residence or birth, but there are so many factors that should be looked at, compatibility, location, religion, financial status and so on and so forth. It is only when the two parties(or up to 5 parties, in some cases) are sure or partially sure that they are ready for the responsibilities involved with marriage and family life, is when they should sign the agreement. It is a very challenging, yet, some get lucky while others are not so lucky. That's why there are a lot of divorces and a lot of single people.

Gypsy, send me an application with the details of the level of wealth you need and characteristics of yourself, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages. All other applications should also be submitted by 31 December 2009 for review and/ or consideration.(Ana asif, sorry if I posted the last part in the wrong section, but it is in line and relevant to the topic)

Man is animalistic,

The attraction that brings us together is animalistic!

All Religion has done everything possible to take the animal out of man so as to make us easier to control!

You should never put something so fake as a marriage/ownership ceremony onto anything/one to entrap 2 people together in fear etc

Age is a number invented by someones imagination, Many moons ago!

Without this intitial thought there would be no such question as to what is the correct age to get married!

Both time and marriage are false and should not be a considering factor in bringing 2 people together!

Justmoi, lol! You misunderstood my post.

I prefer happiness with a man of substance, character-wise. Very few and most are attached, engaged or married. But I will not settle for anything less.

Btw, I don't care for lovely clothes and handbags or any other branded stuff. All is vanity.

Well, if you want luxury and you put that before happiness, expect lots of lovely clothes and handbags, but sex that you don't like or want and a life on the knife edge.

Those are the wrong reasons to get married.

It all depends... Just 2 side of the same coin actually,

1. If u r a family man, the type tht loves kids & takes care of each and every detail at home and knows exactly how to balance his life between work and home -> 27-29

If u r a family woman (With the above deals) -> 25-27

2. If u r some behind a career, who wants to focus on work first and later think abt having a family -> 30-32

If u r a career woman -> 27-29

3. If u r just that person who doesn't like much of responsibilty & also takes life as it comes -> 32-34

If u r a woman -> 29-33

Good luck....

40. Life begins at 40. - for women.

/Not really.. 60 or 70 also can, if just want companionship. By then, hopefully the guys would have been a bit more matured. :P

//For guys - any age. Like wine, they get better with age. But preferably after 40 also cos the young studs ain't done with sowing wild oats yet.

Also depends on whether male or female and for what purpose the decision is for . If its for breeding purposes only I would suggest that it be when the female is at her physical ane reproductive peak ,and for the male , at an age when he would be at his physically strongest and most potent stage.

It would be different based on waht the criteria is .
