Advanced Member Naz_ 882 Posted January 15, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Salams. Not young at all, in fact perfect time for marriage. Although everyone has their own personal opinion so she might/might not agree. Good luck. Wsalams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Advanced Member timeless 3 Posted January 16, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 17 is a good age, as long as she is responsible and mature enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Advanced Member lena0 9 Posted January 17, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 17 is a very good age, provided she is mature and ready to be a wife. I was religiously married at 17 (our legal one was 2 years later) and it was a very good choice alhamdulillah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Veteran Member Marbles 16,145 Posted January 17, 2011 Veteran Member Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 17 is like immature kid. You want to get married not adopt a child. So beware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guest786 2 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 ^ no not always ! I know girls who married very young and are happily married Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Advanced Member esposabella 1 Posted January 19, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 17 is like immature kid. You want to get married not adopt a child. So beware.I agree with you here on this, Especially if this is a 17 year old American girl, i dont think the maturity level is there to be able to handle a marriage. Yes, there may be some girls out there that are ready but that is def not the mayority. If you are really interested in her, then cultivate a halaal relationship, get to know her family, let her grow into herself....Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Advanced Member Beautiful12 1 Posted January 20, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 salam.Personally, i do not think there is anything wrong with it at all. Though you have to make sure the girl is mature, and ready. Best of luck.wsalaam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Advanced Member Zeynab-europe 2 Posted January 22, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 If you feel that you're on the same mental level and she really wants to get married, why not? Does she plan to go to college? (which is perfectly combinable with marriage, here speaks someone who knows) Please do make sure you have the same plans and expectations for at least the next 10 years.

Advanced Member melj4375 9 Posted January 26, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Personally Me and my friends will never think of marriage before we finish our university degrees but everyone has different goals and ambitions in life so if the girl is willing to leave the fun of being a teenager and enter into a life full of commitments then it's her choice. do make sure it's her decision to get married and she isn't brain washed by a relative. Make sure she understands the reality of marriage and isn't taking this as a game. I have had many friends marry at ages 18 and 19 and some worked well while others ended up into a divorce (due to lack of understanding and negotiating between couples). My brothers fiancée is pretty young too and he is confused as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
