16 & Married.

[Door]

My mate is 16 and hes getting married.
Hes known her since he was 12 and she was 13 so hes 1 year younger than her.
Theyre doing well together, not many fights or arguments and they live together. Shes at college and hes got a job as a printer where I work.
They were each others first and they did it 3 years ago.
Theyve been together for 4 years.

Is this right?

[Axel]

If they both love each other then yes
But it is a bit young i think...

[mynameishelen!]

i think it's fine.
young marriges can work.

my parents started dating when my mum was 14.
engaged when she was 16.
married when she was 18.
and me at 19 ;]

and they're still together now, and i'm 16, so thats like... 17 years?

:]

Nice. My mum had me at 32 and now shes an old foggie.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah my mum was pretty old. She's even older now (things often turn out that way). I see nothing wrong with young marriages if they truly believe it can work.

[louder]

To be honest, I think young relationships are silly and can cause alot of problems, maybe thats just because of my past..
At 14 - My mum started dating my real dad.
At 16 - She had me.
At 17 - They broke up and my mum had to handle me on her own in my nans house..
At 19 - She married my step dad.
When I was 11 - I found out my real dad was a drug addict and now I have so many different sides of stories coming at me, all so confusing..
Its really bad to be in my position and young relationships caused it all..

Young love can work, but I think all people, not just young ones, shopuld take more time before doing anything serious like marriage or kids. So yeah, it may work out, and myay be right, but it still may not be. As it is your friend, you can't really do aything about this anyway, because I would have said that 4 years,m especialy as that young, would've been a tiny bit too soon, but people have to make their own desicions (and possibly mistakes) so I'd suggest that you just support your friend and make sure that he knows he's got you as a friend whether it does, or doesn't work ourt.

[Ostinato]

Well, it seems they have a stable relationship and havn't gotten bored with each other etc. yet so it seems fine, however 16 of course is still young and they have the rest of their lives ahead of them still, but I guess it's their mistake to make!

[Markness.]

thats about 3-ish years theve knew eachother, some adults get married before that so i think there being sensible

[GJay]

It's nice their in love but no to the marriage they're way too young. They should wait a few more years because conflicts can start i.e if they go to university etc etc etc.

[Herman]

That's abit too young I think.. But it can work, I suppose.

[GJay]

Meh...i've been with Karl for nearly 3 years and we're not rushing...it's all rush rush rush for the rest of the world- they should really think about what they're doing. Marriage is a big thing it's not all about the dress and the honeymoon and the ***. It's more to that. You have to be older and way more mature to get married - 16..stupid age.

[kasi]

rofl 16 is way too young to be getting married. wait till your like.. 20 or something.

[Mentor]

There choice "/

[Rockstar]

Its fine but he / she mitew regret it later on in life

[James!]

Better than getting pregnant though eh?

[Demynx]

The youngest people that were married was a 10 month old baby with a 11 month old baby.

[omgabear]

Well we dont know them aswell so ask yourself this.

Are they good for eachother?
Do YOU think it will honestly last?
Can you see them 10 years from now still together... happily?

If you answered no atleast twice, consult your friend.

AND THEY DID IT AT 13/14, JESUS

[Pwnr]

Nice. My mum had me at 32 and now shes an old foggie.

LOL An old foggie

[Nightrose]

It's nice their in love but no to the marriage they're way too young. They should wait a few more years because conflicts can start i.e if they go to university etc etc etc.

i agree they may meet someone else and then there will get a divorce etc etc or Just fight a lot, have affiars etc cause they are young whos to say they wont meet someone else

[Eoin]

My friend got pregnent 3 months ago with her boyfriend, now, her boyfriend has done a runner and shes stuck with the baby, and its too late for an abortion.
The sad thing is shes only 16...

[Flap]

you never know, it might work, but quite a few young marriages end.. good luck with them anyway ;]

[PS2.]

Its not too smart.

That doesn't sound like a nice life, I can tell that you cut yourself at some points (Not being offensive.)

I think any age is fine, as long it's over 14. They've been together for 3-4 years now and that is the normal waiting time of all relationships before engagement and marriage. Although, I have another half answer. It is sort of bad, you don't know if the person is the actual one for you, I mean, you have alot of time to find a perfect person for you. Did that make sense? Sorry, I'm tired tonight.

[jojoandme]

Well alot of countrys have young marrages.
Personaly I have no problem with it. If you love some one that much thats a way to show it. Maybe doing it at age 13 it's very un safe many things could happen which could cause them to have a child at that age.

[Calzeh]

maybe its ok if they really love each other and they are sure they are doing it for their love and not just a kind of novelty thing like Gemma said.. every girl dreams of wearing a big white dress... just they seem slightly young?..

i think sex is fine in a loving commited stable relationship if both people are fine with it, however children are a big thing so they should be responsible enough to either look after a child or use protection.

ermmmm are their family ok with it?

[iluvben]

Eurghh I think their rushing into things is all I can say , I think they should live a little first and carry on with their education and then get a career , because there going to need to be finacially stable if a marriage is going to work and not fighting isn't excacly a good sign all sucessful marriages need fights and arguements once in a while.

[Ryan+Joe]

it can work. ;D

[B4-Mez]

The youngest people that were married was a 10 month old baby with a 11 month old baby.

Ok... How do u no that... they cant exactly say "I DO" lol

[Darkst4r]

Young marriges CAN work out fine.

My mom had me when she was ... 35 or 36? Now she is 48. Figure out the math.

[Door]

Theyre getting married in 4 months ;)
