#people #age #reason
Many people argue that the eligible age for marriage is 21 or more. I strongly agree with
this
 notion mainly because of maturity and financial readiness. At 21 , young individuals are considered ready before getting married because, at
this
 stage, they are classified as mature. Their maturity is based on and supported by their education which they have experienced previously because usually, they have graduated from an undergraduate program.
As a result
, they will calmly face every challenge in their future married life.
In other words
, youngsters who marry at an early age tend to ruin their relationship by having more disputes with their spouses. It ends with a divorce
due to
 their lack of maturity which can be seen from the vast number of separations among young Indonesian couples nowadays.
Furthermore
, a 21-year-old bride is considered more independent in terms of finances. Economics issues have become the most common problem among couples in Indonesia.
