I married at 19 and will be 30 next month (gee that sounds old!). I love my wife as much as when I met her (actually even more). We are soul mates.
Its not your place to say if its right for someone else.
If they feel its the right thing to do then that it their decision.
Look at other countries, marriage average at 13.

It's not a question of whether it's right or wrong, but if you love the person you are marrying. nuff said.
I am only 21, and my fiancee is 22. We have been together since high school (nearly 5 years now). That is longer than some marriages. As far as we are concerned, we would just go ahead and move in together (would have done that a little while back), then wait for graduation to get married. Her parents do not approve of that kind of thing.
So the deal is this: we both get our Bachelors this semester. We then are both getting a msters in another year. I already have a $50k / yr job lined up from coop (EE/Comp.E stuff), and she plans to get her PhD (English) and teach.
We decided to go ahead and get married this August instead of waiting until graduation. Why? Society tells us that we should wait. We decided that we know what is best in our situation, not the roaring masses. So
to you who think young marriages don't last. My parents got married at 22 (like me), and they have been together for 29 years. My fiancee's parents got married when her mom was still young (19). Her dad is considerably older, but they are quite happy.
It really pisses me off when people comment that I am making an error by getting married at a relatively young age. I get the attitude that I am too 'educated' to make a 'mistake' like that. Noone knows me well enough to make judgements like that other than myself, and Ruth. She probably konws me better than I.

<< Is it RIGHT to get married at 19? >>
You'll have to ask yourself the following questions:
1. Do you have anything depicting the "Bad Boy" insgnia? Like a bumper sticker, tant top t-shirt etc.
2. Is the hair on the back of your head longer than the hair on the top of your head?
3. Do you own, or hope to own, a Chevy or Ford "dually" pickup truck?
4. Is your forum name "Boberfett"?
5. Do you own, or hope to own, a pair of Oakley Blades sunglasses?
6. Do you equate high school with "higher education"?
If you answered "yes" to 2 or more of the above questions, then yes it is right to get married at 19.
Well a frend of mine is only 19 and he made his girlfrend pragnent she is 18. so now the have a child together, And soon has to get married. Im don't want to get married yet. I just want to life my student life. Go out twice a week and have lots of girls!!!!!
We have a lot of Mormons in Idaho, and they married really young, like 17-19, and these marriages don't last very long. I have 3 friends who were married after high school, all were divorced within a year. All of them thought they were ready, but marriage is a difficult thing, even for older folks.
Getting married is neither right nor wrong. It happens. Some early marriages succeed, but many fail. Were the failures "wrong"? I don't think so. They simply happened.
Why are you being so judgemental?
On the other hand, if one of my kids got married at 19 I'd kill them!
(None has.)

Consder this. IN cetain states you can't even drink untill your 21. Kinda suchs to have a wedding and not even alowed to drink. Maybe this will give you an idea as to how smart it is. Is it wrong though.
Morally- NO
Legaly - NO
Socially - well not really worng so NO
emotionally - that depends

Just make sure you are ready. To eakers all i can say is that's not the first time i've heard that and good luck to you but chances are it won't work out. Not trying to rain on your parade but it wouldn;t be life if it were easy
