Answer:

YOUNG MARRIAGE

Marriages below the age of 18 years has become a common issue in countries. Millions
of people are getting married at an early stage. Almost one third of the girls in the
developing countries are married at an early stage. Do you agree or disagree on early
marriage?
People who agree the practice of getting married early expose some pros arguments.
First, marriage is a big decision and it does not have a perfect time. It is clueless and can
take place at any point of time. When getting married early, it does not pressure of
having kids in the near future.
The second argument is about being responsible. When people marry early,
responsibilities also increase with time. Girls would have enough time to learn the
household works and can make them a responsible daughter – in – law and a wife. The
same applies to men as well.
However some people disagree to get married at an early age. One thing is about lack of
understanding. Marrying at an early age can create a lot of understanding issues between
the couple. The level of understanding is developed only when the girl and boy are
matured enough to understand each other and their environment.
Additionally, getting married at early age often causes financial insecurity. Most of boys
who marry at a young stage are not even well settled. They know that they needs a lot of
money to carry out the family responsibilities.
Finally, whatever the arguments are, marriage has become the basic necessity of life.
Some people get married at an early stage while some marry a little later in life.
Whenever you choose to get married, make the best preparation and life will go on well.
