Proper Age for marriage in Pakistan

[H!TchHiker]

i thought it was "demand" of the new child marriage act.

Btw thanks for clarifying.

It was demanded to make it 18 for girl also..But still not approved

Legally, it should be 20 for males and 18 for Females. Marriage at 16 in 2017 sounds crazy.

In Bangladesh, keeping aside the religious reasons, usually it is difficult for young men to marry unless they are backed up financially and in other ways by his family. By that, you can guess that they are pretty well off. But not every guy is and thus, there is a long struggle to get a job and even if one does, they cannot make enough to convince anyone to marry off their daughter. Its very difficult. Even though Islam positions ones righteousness and Deen as the primary characteristics while determining marriage-candidate, there is always a popular concern of "what will you feed my daughter". Not denying that there are many families who follow this ruling but I wouldn't say its the norm.

Just curious though, is it the same in Pakistan? If yes or no, then why?

Some celibacy will not hurt, it will be actually beneficial considering the global population levels.

That's unfortunate. As much as we should be following the Islamic ruling, I guess our life-ly concerns take the toll on us. This should not be happening.

Another issue is that, as time passes by, marriages are becoming a show-off as to who can mak it more grand. Not sure if thats the trend in Pakistan too but that raises a lot of problems especially for the guy who cant even earn enough.

bro same trend in pakistan..here sons and especially daughters are forced to remain unmarried till late 30s even though if they have good proposals but fathers cant afford a grand party to show off

pardon me bro but i was talking from islamic perspective and pre/extra marital affairs have no place even near islam

Humans do not reach full maturity until the age of 40 however human brain starts hardwiring from puberty onwards hence reducing our ability to adjust to others who have not been part of the family from early years.

As for age of marriage, at what age onwards are the males and females 'designed' to reproduce? Ever stopped to think 'why do humans reach puberty around a certain average age and why not before or much later'?

This may sound and will be controversial to many, nonetheless I will say that provided the right environment (proper guidance & grooming by the parents, proper family planning - again taught by parents, mutual respect and continuous education), early marriages should be encouraged and would be far more successful.

Late marriages have a strong link with higher divorce rates as our brains are hardwired in many ways by the time we get hitched. We humans are far less flexible and compromising as we grow older therefore a strong matrimonial partnership developed from early years should be encouraged and provided the right environment to thrive in.

Men 25 women 18-20, without parental consent.

Edit: read the title, still the same.

Age 17. If I could go back in time that's the age I would've got married at.

bro same trend in pakistan..here sons and especially daughters are forced to remain unmarried till late 30s even though if they have good proposals but fathers cant afford a grand party to show off

Same problem in the U.S.

There shouldn't be restrictions on age to get married , that's so evil .
