Mufti Menk – Whats the Right Age to get Married

			What do you see is the right age to be married? You'll be careful because your father in law's here
		

			would you say is the right age to be married? Man Rahim. Obviously it's different from person to
person place to place the maturity and the development of people as they grew up. So you can't
really put in a number to it. People are different, the circumstances are different. The financial
levels are different, the way they've matured, where they've grown up, etc. So there's no real right
or wrong age. Obviously, if somebody's reached the age of majority in Islam, we are encouraged to
get married and not delay as long as there's no reason to delay person has, you know, sound
intellect and they are able to, then inshallah they go forth and Allah will bless them, obviously,
		

			you sitting with the mashallah Shira, who is a counselor of more than 30 years, so he can add to
that.
		

			With the I will definitely need you to add to that, and I don't like the way it's going because
everything is coming, right.
		

			But it's good. I think it's right, I agree with what he said, you know, perhaps when a person, all I
need to say to this is Don't unnecessarily delay, that's what I would say. Because, look, when
you're young, it's easy, it's easier, you're a little bit more broader in your selection. So you
marry someone, and you grow with them for as long as your two very good people who are compatible.
But as you grow older, you started your journey already, the other person started their journey
without you, you're going to meet up at 3035, it's not going to be so easy to come together. At that
age, you become more and more fussy. As you grow older. This is my experience from the last so many
		

			years. So if you're 20, and you're married, it's much more likely that you're going to have you
know, much more goodness by the will of Allah not to say that it wouldn't bring about goodness, if
you had to delay but there's a hadith encourages us, oh youth if you're able and capable, don't
delay get married. So following that we stick by that advice and believe that it is true, and it is
the way it should be. So if there is a reason why you're delaying,
		

			then perhaps you know, let's hear it and let's let's see what it is otherwise without a proper
reason. Go for it. I know a lot of young people, especially the girls, they say no, I don't want to
get married, you know, because they witnessed divorces. They witnessed so many negatives. But you
know we have to go it's one of the ways of Allah subhanho wa Taala we have to drive. Many people
have been through divorce sometimes and after that they're so happy. They're so happy they marry
someone else. Later on. It's not the end of the world. May Allah make it easy for us.
