Marriage gray area


Marriage is the start of new life creating family. Some people prefer to get married early of their life while others decide to get married late. Nowadays, early marriage has become an issue for many people while it was normal for the older generations. The average for a girl to get married was about fifteen years or below, while now it increased to be about twenty-three years.  However, it is difficult to decide if the old generations were correct or wrong because they created successful families. On the other hand, young girl marriages in our days are failing. Early marriage has advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion the main advantage is protecting young boys from sleeping with many girls and spreading diseases that are common in our days such as HIV. In contrast to that, the probability of this marriage failure is high according to the statistics. Failed marriages may produce homeless children. Even though human rights watch organization is spending a huge effort to stop this one; many girls are still getting married. Young girls’ parents are looking to this marriage as a guarantee that girls are in safe hands or she will reduce some of their expenses due to their poverty.  Therefore I think it is a gray area and people cannot judge that old people were wrong.
