Why marry so young

You guys in this thread must be millennials or something. 26 is quite young. she's still at the beginning of her adult life. I'm in my 40's and I don't even consider people in my age group 'old'.

Maybe she wants kidsI don't know. There's this thing called a biological clock and it starts ticking faster after the mid 20s. The reason is science. And yes, 40 is old for starting a family and just because someone says 26 isn't too young to get married doesn't make them a millennial. Baby boomers were often married in their teens, does that make them millennials?

Baby boomers married in their teens? lol wut? I didn't know the baby boomers took a time machine to the 1700's. got any statistics to back that one up?
I agree about the biological aspect but it's not only about biology. I'd wager that a large portion these days have kids in their 30's just as much as those in their 20's. statistically, I'm unsure. but it seems that way to me where I live.
also, I would argue that 26 in this day in age is quite young to get married. and the fact that these users presume that such a young is an old age to marry w/o fully living life is a semblance of being part of a younger, less experienced generation. that gives them the illusion of it being 'too old' to tie the knot.
this isn't the 40's or the 50's anymore. kids in their 20's are like grown up teenagers, if anything, nowadays.

I'm dumb? You reek of dunning-kruger. I never argued that people married into their teens, I was questioning your assertion that
baby boomers
often married into their teens. For which I've asked statistical evidence for.
the 1700's was obviously a hyperbolic analogy to the fact that so many women married in their teens back in the pre-Industrial times. Of course, someone with some decency in intellectual competence could grasp this rhetoric.

Actually I'm a baby boomer I'm 60 and married at 18. But our 27 year old is not interested in settling down yet, more in the career path. But in the 50's and 60's we married really young, my best friend at 17. To do over, I'd go about it very differently.
