Aren't we getting extreme.
For clarification purposes, I am speaking of consensual adults. I apparently have to be that specific.
I don't believe you can cookie cutter every "young" person into one singular "not ready" category. If someone marries "young", and the marriage fails because the younger individual "wasn't ready" for marriage, it was because he or she was simply unready for marriage, not necessarily because he or she was arbitrarily, a "young" age. There is a vast spectrum of maturity, and what has been experienced individual to individual - the individual who has been sheltered by his parents throughout childhood, and is continually supported by them, never having to do anything for himself, even into his twenties holds a different maturity from the soldier who had to become financially independent at 16, moved out at 17, and completed two tours under his belt by the time he's 21.
