People often ask, “What is the right age to get married?”
I respond by saying, “When your body needs food or water, does someone come from outside to tell you that you should eat or drink now?”
The answer is no. “Feeling hungry is a sign that the body needs food, and feeling thirsty is a sign that the body needs water.”
I then explain, “Just like hunger and thirst, sexual desire is also a physical need of a human being. No one will come from outside to inform you about this need. The body itself indicates that it now needs a ‘partner’ to fulfill this need. This indication comes when the body reaches maturity. For a man, maturity means that his desires start manifesting in dreams, and his longing begins to pour like rain.”
People say, “But the child is still immature.”
I reply, “Immaturity only goes away after marriage. Even if a man reaches forty years of age, without marriage, he remains a child. And if a boy gets married at sixteen, he becomes responsible and serious. The true value of life’s responsibilities is only realized after marriage. A wife teaches what parents cannot.”
