As long as she's above 21 it isn't too much. (my own opinion though)
Re: How Old Were Your Parents When They Got Married by RollinTNDA:
12 and 19

Guess who was 12?? grin

Re: How Old Were Your Parents When They Got Married by Samantha125(f): 8:38pm On Oct 21, 2025
What were they actually discussing about when they were together with such a huge age gap?

I'm sure he was constantly treating her like she was his niece.

Igbos and Notherners would be very represented in crazy age gaps. One party being a teenager if need be.
Re: How Old Were Your Parents When They Got Married by folake4u: 7:58am On Oct 22, 2025
Both parents in their 30s. No crazy age gap.

He was 23 and mum was 19.

Way too young but those were different times, I certainly wasn't in any position to marry at either of their ages.

The maturity of Dad brought peace. One of the advantages of getting married at a matured age.

My dad was 35, mum was 15
I came about three years later, closely after my older brother
Re: How Old Were Your Parents When They Got Married by Heffalump(m):
In those days, more younger people got married compared to these modern days. There are more hardships and delayed breakthroughs now than yesteryears. Men in their 30's are still struggling to get their footing on something tangible in life and many are still cohabiting with parents, even at over 35 years.

The decision to marry lies squarely with the male folks and not women.
Re: How Old Were Your Parents When They Got Married by Beremx(f): 2:07pm On Oct 30, 2025
Mum was 23years and Dad was 27years

She must prefer older men with more experience. Perhaps she doesn’t want to be figuring things out with people closer her age. She has her own priorities. She lived with parents twice her age, possibly has colleagues at work much older. Life choices are different
