Most people in that age bracket in my country are just about graduating from university. Marriage should not be on their minds at that age. Money should take the priority space.

When I was 17 years old, I was about to marry, but God did not allow it to happen or I was not destined to marry the guy at 17 because my ex was cornered by his other girlfriend. The guy left his wife the next day after their wedding.

Did the guy have a stable source of income? The reason he left, was it financial?

For ladies from Africa, I would rather say establish yourself early so that you can marry early. We live in very conservative society down here where guys won't want to marry a girl above 25 when they finally wish to settle down.

She can marry foreign guys instead

Where would she see foreign guys when she is staying in Africa? The other user gave the best advice that ladies should achieve milestones early so that they can marry on time.

Social media. With western men being sick of feminist Karens right now. Its easier for African women to snatch a foreign man now

African women are the more homely women that are even ready to work hard to support their husbands.

Sometimes what is homely to you is exotic to foreign men

Africans rather prefer to marry quite younger and it's working for them.

[Treborika]

l agree with you on that particular subject. In my country especially most of the young people tend to marry at the age of early 20's and majority of them are suffering from the lack of money with responsibilities unattended.

[Pistis]

At that age, a person is not financially secure yet. Marriage isn't running away. You can still delay and get married after having enough financial base and solidity.

[Kalayla]

At that age, most people don't have a stable income. Rushing to get married at that level makes no sense financially at all.

Most teens realize very late that it takes more than love to keep a marriage. You also need good financial standing. That's why you should wait, take time and have finances secured first before entering marriage.

Check it out. These teenage marriages without solid financial base soon crash after some few years and the love evaporatea. The major reason is always financial issues.

I almost made the same mistake of getting married younger. My friends that did have not progressed much financially.

This is the most time to work and save money to enable you start out life in financial freedom.

Even with societal pressure, with many suitors, I have decided to still stay single. I don't want to raise a family that would be lacking financial resources.

[King Belieal]

This is the most time to work and save money to enable you start out life in financial freedom.

It is the right time to focus on building financial freedom. When you get married this early, your focus on money would be divided.

[Presh]

With well to do parents, you can get married even a 15; years old and still he fine.

That I'd where we have the challenge. People that are getting married quite early don't even have well to do parents.

[Uty Theo]

The majority of early married people are still in poverty and fails to meet the ends meet.

This is so true. It is because most of them were not financially stable enough to carry the financial burden of family.
