Early marriage can never be ideal. Society though, tries to accept the reality that there are a lot of cases where very young couples are married. It is a disturbing fact, yet we must not ass on this concern.
Usually, the causes of early marriages are early pregnancies due also to premarital sex, wrong decision making and fixed marriages. A lot neglect the negative effects of early marriages. Early marriage usually ends up in divorce because of couple's immaturity. Though there are marriages that still last even for a very long time, early marriages are usually not results of true love between the couples. They marry because the girl is pregnant and there is a sense of urgency that they have to be married. Later on, it will be them and their child who would suffer the consequences of their actions.
Early marriages, like any other marriages, do have advantages and disadvantages, but it will never be ideal nor it could be very helpful in our society. Its disadvantages weighs more than its advantages. We must think and act wisely. We must follow our minds over our hearts and not just be carried away with our emotions, as in the case of early marriages.
