The right age to get married:
During history, marriage has been an important issue to create alliances and consolidate kingdoms. A lot of young girls have suffered all their lives because of arranged marriages and, now that we are able to choose who we marry and when, many people discuss what is the right age to get married.
Straight to the main point, I do not consider there is a right age to get married. Men and women should be able to choose the time they are most comfortable with to do it, without any social pressure. Socially, it is judged whether women should take that step before they are left on the shelf. Of course, there should be a limited age to walk down the aisle and for me it would be the arrival of adulthood, with 18 years old, because I do not consider lawful to minors espousing at such a young age, when they may not be mature enough to take that decision.
In conclusion, people shouldn't feel pressured to get married because we are in the 21st century and, as much as we presume to be very advanced now, we should be able to choose whether we want to marry or not.
