Should one marry before 30 or after 30?

Nowadays, the concept of marrying late, i.e. after 30, is becoming popular and a lot of young people are taking this decision even against their parents’ wishes. What arguments can be made for the decision to marry before or after 30, and which do you favour?

The marrying age of a person generally depends on the country and society. In Asian countries generally individuals marry at an early age, while in developed foreign countries, it is very common to marry after 30.

Before 30, people have more options to select a partner. People are not rigid about their likes and dislikes as they are quite young, so they can easily adjust with their partners. Marriage before 30 increases the duration of married life, so they can enjoy more time together with their partner. They can have children early and so can get settled well in their lives. However, before 30, people are immature, so they may regret in future if a wrong decision is made in selecting a partner. They may not be able to handle the social relations properly. Sometimes boys are not settled in their career before 30, so their growth may get restricted. If girls marry at an early age, they may not be able to complete their studies.

After 30, the criteria for the selection of partner are not clear, so a better selection can be made. The individuals are immature, so understanding between the partner is good. They make more efforts to adjust themselves in married life as they try to avoid unnecessary clashes. They are settled well in their career, so they can easily enjoy their married life. However, the choices for the selection of partner are much limited after 30. There might be more ego clashes as both the partners have independent thinking. It becomes difficult to change the habits and thoughts of an individual after 30, which may lead to dissatisfaction and frustration.

According to me, age between 25 and 28 is the perfect age for marriage as the individuals in this age range are mature enough to select the partner and are also settled well in their career.
