This girl who I’ve been friends with since a kid and kinda dated in high school had her father send a marriage proposal to me. I’m not opposed to marrying her in general she’s great but realistically we’re both in university and are relatively broke. However I am still seriously considering it. Thoughts?

Marriage is a commitment and you just said you're broke

Zero advantages of marrying younger tbh

There are no advantages unless you're like a small town catholic kid living in middle or rural america

the one advantage is u can have a kid earlier. The earlier u have a kid, the better, purely biologically speaking.

It's an emotional and financial commitment.

she’s gotta be desperate if she’s sending you a proposal

heavy stay away

remember you’re the catch, not the other way around

only positives unironically

everybody raining on op parade

Marrying the girl you love when you’re young should be encouraged, it was like that for thousands of years

not getting to be a w****!

How?

A lot of reproductive processes decay with age

As a result, genetic conditions like Down syndrome occur in older parents

i wouldn’t marry anybody if it wasn’t your idea tbh

What’s the dowry looking like?

What parade? It seems like he was just asked to marry a friend he’s not even actually with nor is 100% sure he wants to make this commitment with lol

the dad sent the marriage proposal?

Dude. Do you want to marry somebody or do you just want to marry?

Don't be silly.

I got married when I was 23 @op what do you wanna know

Her father sent you a marriage proposal for her and you guys aren’t even dating?

Parents had me late 30s (or at least 1 was), turned out ok thankfully. Unless you can blame that for my high level of non facial/body symmetry, dsypraxia, cowlick in fringe, flat feet and/or accessory navicular syndrome

Need to know more about why her father sent that proposal, do you come from a background where this is common?

Muslim world things

Yes
