Some people feel that the legal age which people can marry should be at least 21. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Part of the population believes that law should determine the minimum
age
to marry of 21 years old, while others claim that
one
should be able to decide to marry or not earlier in their lives. Despite
this
concernment is more personal than technical, I would side with those decrying the necessity of completing a certain
age
to be allowed to marry. On the
one
hand, supporters of determining a legal
age
to marry, defend that
people
who have not completed 21 are not mature enough to decide
such
a matter by themselves.
For instance
, a study published by the Psychology University of Labrador showed that 36 per cent of
people
married under 21 years

Therefore
, if there is a restriction forbidding

, youngsters will, probably, have more time to evaluate their relationship before changing their marital status.
Furthermore
, the stress and the high cost of

On the other hand
, the possibility of letting
people
decide what way should they path and assuming responsibilities and risks related to their own actions can prepare them for

events. The process of

requires the acknowledgement that every choice has consequences and that we must deal with those consequences, even if it takes an enormous financial or emotional loss. The benefits of letting
people
deal with their decisions earlier in
life
overcome the concernments about protecting
one
to not marry before 21.
For instance
, in some countries in the west
such
as South Arabia, teens are stimulated by their families to assume some financial responsibility early in
life
.
This
situation allows teens to learn and prepare themselves for crucial circumstances in the future. To conclude,
although
there is a direct benefit related to

marrying under 21 years, I definitely defend that
one
should be able to decide it earlier. The possibility of deciding our future and dealing with our choices can help us to surpass obstacles in
further
life
