To ask how old you were?

When you got married? (If you're married!)

I was reading a BBC article about a woman talking about the judgement and negativity she encountered when she announced her engagement aged 22.

I was 32 when I married DH. We were together for 3 years, got engaged then lived together for another 4 years before having our wedding. I wanted to be as sure as I could be and felt no rush.

Is there a general judgement with feminist overtones about getting married so young? Are they doomed to divorce?

Got together at 15, married at 20. At 16 we decided on a wedding date which would've meant married at 22, but circumstances changed and we decided to marry sooner.

We have possibly the strongest relationship of everyone we know and have absolutely no regrets. I have no doubt that people judged us at the time but no one was rude to us. I still get the 'wow you're very young to be married'/'you married young' comments now, but all very politely

Married at 24

Met at 19, married at 22 and still together 16 years later.

Engaged in our early 20s, married in our early 30s. We had something like a 12 year engagement. Meant to have a longish engagement, didn't mean for it to be that long!

Wedding next September- I'll be 27 (almost 28) and he'll be 31.

Met when I was nearly 15 and he was nearly 17. Married when I was 20 and he was 22. Will be our 23rd anniversary this year. We've done a lot of growing up in our time and it hasn't always been easy but I think we love each other more now than when we got married.. Still find him attractive too.
Our oldest son is almost 21, I wouldn't want him to settle down yet - he tells me he's not that stupid anyway 😂

Together since 16, engaged 24, baby 25, married 26, am 32 now. I guess I didn't get the "too young" comments as we'd already been together 10 years.

I got married to my first husband at age 28 - he was 35. We met when I was 26. My son was born when I was 36 and we got divorced when I was 40.
I met my second husband when I was 42, we got married when I was 62 and are getting divorced this year when I am 63.
Obviously, well, in my case, age doesn’t always bring wisdom

DH was 23 when we got married and I was a couple of years oldẹr. If anyone said anything negative it never made it to my ears. He was always very mature though, worked full time since 16, wanted family life. 10 years later still happily enjoying our life together.

We were 26. Been together since 18. Now 45 and still married!

I got married at 23, we've been married 17 years. We were only engaged for three months. My dm was a bit shocked about the speed of it all but no-one had anything negative to say about it or they had the good sense to keep it to themselves.
