What is The best age for marriage

Marriage is a religious obligatory bounding of man and woman. Allah almighty has asked in the Holy Quran to marry the best virgin among you. It is the sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).

Marriage keeps a boy or a girl away from evil and sin. When a boy or a girl reaches up to the age of physical and mental maturity, that age varies from person to person, then parents should make their marriages.

Physical maturity means when a girl or boy comes to the age of adolescence, that is a natural process which occurs at different ages in boys and girls. But that is not the only criteria for marriage. An ideal age of marriage for a girl depends how she shoulders the responsibilities of a perfect and balanced family life. And if she is mature enough to fulfil the responsibilities of motherhood. She should have the patience and tolerance to bear the difficult times.

Whereas a perfect age to tie the knot of marriage for a boy is when he is sane and wise enough to handle the responsibilities of a family. A boy should be more mature and strong than a girl, because he is to go outside to earn a living and provide his family with prerequisites of life.

According to Islam there should be no delay in marriage and marriage of early age is encouraged. Because there are more chances to inclined towards sins and evil deeds. It is better to be in a sacred relationship instead of indulging in crime.

Specially in present day life where electronic media is spoiling the young lot, and corrupting the innocent minds. Parents should take wise decision and tie their children in this obligatory religious relationship which is liked by Allah and his prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
