Wat is d right age for women to get married?

Some women r married as soon as they turn adult not caring for getn in college. Some marry after graduation. Some even marry after getn settled in job or even after buying their own house. Fair & Lovely equal-equal ad is very inspiring showing d mentality of d father n Yami Gautam's smart advice to his daughter. So wat do u think is d right age for women to get married?

A 13 year old village girl is more responsible and wordly-wise than a 19 year old city girl. There is no specific age except for a legal age which is veri much like one can borrow from some other culture.. just like we borrowed our constitution from the brits we can borrow this from wherever they want...the thing is the way we interpret marriage is no longer valid... many of us would have great or great great grand mother married at 10, 12, 13... which would be outrageous in today's "liberated" world.. so this debate is pointless... If you mean to push the age from 18 to 21 or 24.. than its a different matter... i would have misread you totally and the objective of your post...

Many will disagree with me on this one but here is my view.
1. This question is typical of Indian culture. Why should it only limit to Women. Should the question be when is it a right age for Men and Women to get married.
2. The age for men of course will be different to women because of the way their brains develop. And as the previous post says it also depends on where they grew up i.e. villages or city or towns.
3. Should the choice of when to marriage be left to Men and Women who are the ones getting into marriage. Well this means they are making that choice of their own free will and not being forced by family or our great society.
4. Then comes the other question should women marry only men or can they marry women. Same applies to men. We in India are confused on this topic. Should every person have same rights when it comes to they way they want to live and choose who they want to live with?
5. Now another angle to this. Do we really need to marry someone?

You do have a good point there qwertyesque :) and i agree too. So refer to the point 5.

For practical reasons these days most girls marry after they have completed their studies and possibly got a job. In the countryside it would definitely be an early marriage for most girls.

Summer3 you are making it sound like women are given a choice. Unless you are from a select few families, I think major section dont have much choice.

Parents arrange it and you are forced to get married. Either by fear or by sentiment or by blackmail parents make sure they get the daughter married off.

There is still large social stigma when women choose their own partners. This i mean is general population. There are exceptions to the rule always.

Marriage is no child's play. Any person, regardless of gender should marry only when they are able, ready and willing to handle the responsibilities that come with it. I don't believe that there is a particular 'right age' to marry. It would vary from person to person.

13 year old village girl more responsible n worldly wise than 19 year old city girl. Seriously? I have some cousins 4m village. But at 9-10, their level of mind is still of 5-6 years old. Well, they may be responsible in things like house work. But wat abt skills of lukn after a house n more importantly sex education? Many people in village don't have internet. Also, many children r not even allowed to watch even a simple kiss in d movie let alone d whole intimate scene. Abt our great grand-mothers being married at 10, 11, 12, 13,...d women were too innocent to understand anything. Hardly anyone wud know of how d kids come to d world till some time after their marriage. They were things like pati ki baat humesha maanna or jo bhi vo kare tum kuuch mat kehna. So, d girls were not taught sex education at very small age. D parents n others in d family wud just get them married to any guy they got. Most of d girls wud be too naive to understand anything for a long time.
