it is traditionally believed in Nigeria that a girl of about 19yrs and above can marry at any time if her parents approves of it but the reverse is the case for the guyz. assuming a 26yrs old guy after a university education and is financially independent wats to get married, there will always be some advice from parents and sometimes friend like u re still till young:why dont u wait for a while before u get married? My question is if a girl can be married at that age why not a guy? i want ur opinion NL

I don't really think there is much issue on this, as guys marry at that age when they are really ready, in short I have a friend who married at the age of 25.

but why does our society think like the guy still needs to be matured eventhough he is financially ok?

lol

i have soooo many friends that are married at 21! one of them had a child at 18 married so no theres nothing wrong with it!

so far they are both emotionally and financially ready!

26 isn't too earily, infact t got married at the age of 23 while my wife was stillih her teens.

nothing wrong

I think is a question of maturity. One needs to be matured enough to be able to keep a wife so is not just about being finacially independent.
