"I met my husband when I was 17 got married at 19 and was married for 28 years before he passed away would have been 33 years this year so I stick my thumb up to all those who don't approve. There are as many older people married who do not last or do well so it's all dependant of circumstance and behaviours " i wouldn’t say 19 is too young but in scotland you can legally marry at 16, you are not even old enough to drink at your wedding reception, highly unlikely to get a mortgage and even find it difficult to get a private lease i would imagine so where are you starting married life , there are even movies that are deemed too old for you to see, not old enough to drive etc personally i think if it has been decided you are too young for all these other elements of “adult” life , then yeah its probably also too young to be getting married | |||

I think 18 is perfectly acceptable. I have friends who married at 18 and 19 and are still together 41 years later. I know people who have married in their 40's and divorced 2 years later. | |||

"the flip side and hypocritical part of this i think is the law says you are an adult in terms of - marriage at 16 - treated as an adult for crime i think also at 16 or maybe 18 - driving at 17 - drinking at 18 but hey , you don’t qualify for a living wage yet because you are still a child , and if you need help being housed don’t even think of trying to live on your own - too young to expect your own space and privacy til you are 25 they should pick an age they deem people to be adults and apply it consistently" Totally agree with this. Treated as an adult for crime is 17 well it is in England. | |||

"I do wonder " You might wonder, but you appear to not actually think. Seems like a very reasonable starting point. Safeguarding young people from being cocered onto marriage at 16 and 17. | |||

"I settled down at 18, got married at 20/21 (ex was nearly 10 years older). I thought it'd be OK as I'd always been 'mature' in my head, and genuinely thought I'd found the one. we lasted about 7 years married before it went bad, and another 2ish before we finally split. although looking back I was mature, decent job etc when I got married, the growing up you do between probably 20/25 can completely change your outlook. we grew apart, it grew sour, and now I am where I am. would I do it again? not at that age, I think there is a lot to be said for taking time, exploring the world a bit (I feel I missed out on a lot of that) and becoming a bit more 'worldly wise' before making that marriage commitment. does that mean it isn't right for everyone? absolutely not. each situation is different." That doesn't relate to the news article. | |||

"Why? What is the benefit of banning it? If they can't get married they will just continue as they are, link their finances, move in together, have a kid, etc, but they'll just not be married. It will not change anything for them, and them being married makes absolutely no difference to anyone else. It just sounds like imposing restrictions and control on others for the sake of it."

I personally think the above stands if the two are in love and are adults, but these are child marriages which have never sat well with me. Child marriage should not be allowed, as they can be so easily manipulated. Let them wait till they are legally adults and able to take full control over their lives, then there will be less chance of them being controlled. | |||

I haven't seen much annoyance on the thread to be fair, and have been interested to learn about other people's perspective (even the ones I may not agree with). people who wanted to talk about the actual article have also been able to throughout the thread. | |||

All that happened is people answered the wrong question.
It's really not a big deal.
It is if your the one being forced up the aisle!
I was obviously on about people answering the wrong question, not children being married off.
I know, I was being facetious. "Ah, fair enough. Sometimes hard to tell how things are meant when they are typed. | |||

"My guy and me were met at an age of 22 x he was the first guy who took my virginity and we are still going strong
So 4 years past what the issue actually is.
But relevant to Tom's post as it was missing the context.
Not everyone read the article as it wasn't linked to until quite a bit later.
So shouldn't people be actually stopping to work out what he's waffling on about before presuming he's worth responding to? I don't see ignorance as a defence here. I went looking and found the BBC article by myself easily. Others should be doing that too, or asking for context.
No.
This isn't Prime Ministers Question Time, it's a silly little post on FAB.
No opinions have changed and no one has been harmed.

"Why? What is the benefit of banning it? If they can't get married they will just continue as they are, link their finances, move in together, have a kid, etc, but they'll just not be married. It will not change anything for them, and them being married makes absolutely no difference to anyone else. It just sounds like imposing restrictions and control on others for the sake of it." | |||

"Ban marriage all together. What was once a ceremony of love is now just paper work that makes breaking up difficult. It’s basically a take half my shit contract " If people take a moment to justify the idea of wanting the government to formally sanction your live for someone else it's pretty messed up TBF. Wanting your invisible sky man to approve makes sense if that's your thing. But the government that controls and taxes you? It's pretty ridiculous in concept. Still, I've done it twice... | |||
