The legal age for marriage in India is 21 years for men and 18 years for
women. But do you think that all 18 year old women and 21 year old men
are ready to settle down and start a family?
If you (or your parents) are on the hunt for a groom/ bride, then you
should definitely read this article. If nothing else, then ask yourself
the following questions before you take that all important decision to
tie the knot.

Do I feel mature enough to make a life time commitment?
A lot of women get bored of studies after graduation, and think that
marriage will make a welcome change in their daily routine. I hate to
burst your bubble, but marriage can be just as demanding as academic
life. Especially if you are living with your in laws J.

Can I see myself, 20 years from now, living happily with my fiancé?
You may think that you have found your Prince Charming and that you both
will live happily ever after once you get married, but life is not a
fairy tale. Unless your relationship is strengthened by the bonds of
mutual honesty, open communication,
shared interests, similar values and most importantly, respect for each
other, chances are that the marriage will not bring you the happiness
that you dream of. A generation ago, divorce was almost unheard of,
except in cases of domestic violence or dowry harassment. The divorce
rate in 1990 was 7.4 divorces per 1000 marriages, which increased to
11.4 divorces per 1000 marriages in 2008. The divorce rate in New Delhi,
has doubled in the past 5 years alone, and it has tripled in Bangalore
in the same period of time. While beginning a new relationship, no one
wants to consider its end, perhaps driven by a superstitious fear of
avoiding “ashubh” thoughts. But if you do not want to end up as just
another statistic, then it is vitally important that you seriously
evaluate whether your relationship is strong enough to stand the test of
time.
Can I afford to support a family on my current salary?

Long gone are the days when marriage meant that the husband would be the
sole breadwinner to support the entire family. Not to sound clichéd,
but the importance of economic and financial independence for women
cannot be sufficiently stressed.
These days, husbands and wives work together to support their families.
Besides, given the rising cost of housing, health care and other
necessities, a woman can hardly afford to stay at home and be a
housewife these days (unless she marries someone whose last name is
Mallya or Ambani, of course). So before you make the decision of getting
hitched to someone, you need to decide your goals for your life? Do you
have plans for further education? If you do, then it is best to
postpone your marriage until you have completed your plans for higher
education, since a Master’s degree usually guarantees a higher income.
To summarise, wait until you are 24 – 25 years of age & have
achieved a stable standing in your career before you start hunting for a
groom. Of course, this does not mean that those who are older are “on
the shelf” and have to lower their standards and accept whatever comes
their way. Above all, I would advice people not to get married until
they are ready to – whether that age is 25, 30 or 40.
