According to the provisions of China's marriage law, the legal age of marriage: men should not be earlier than 22 years old and women should not be earlier than 20 years old. For developed cities, young men and women generally don't get married too early. There are still many unmarried people around the age of 30.
However, in cities and towns, especially in remote rural areas or ethnic minority areas, there are still many phenomena of early marriage and early childbearing. Some children get engaged to them early after graduating from junior high school and high school, and feel less worried.
A little girl from Guizhou was born in 2006, and her parents decided to get engaged to her. At the engagement scene, looking at the relatives and friends who came in and out with gifts, the little girl kept jumping like a child.
But netizens have been talking about this and expressing their concerns.
Guiyang, Guizhou, a netizen shared a short video. In the photo, this is a remote village. A little girl with a ponytail and a dark blue T-shirt is standing in her yard, looking at a queue coming slowly not far away.
She looks so happy that she can't help dancing happily. She twisted her waist and swayed from side to side. On the mountain road in front of her, a group of people are coming to her house, holding all kinds of gifts in their hands.
The camera turned to the scene in the girl's yard. There are still many villagers in the yard who are helping to prepare rich dishes. The little girl greeted her relatives and friends with a smile. Many people think that she is a child who comes to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, she is the heroine today.
At this moment, a boy in a white shirt, with a bunch of flowers in his hand, came towards the girl. The little girl immediately ran over with a smile, took the boy by the hand and asked him to sit down in the main room.
I can see that both of them are young and in their prime. Their faces are filled with green smiles, and they seem to be at a loss in the face of their loved ones.
According to an insider, the two young people met through blind date, and both parents were very young. They are very satisfied with this marriage and very happy. They feel that after their children are engaged, both parents have accomplished a great event in their lives.
The two young people also seem to be a good match. Boys are sunny and handsome, and girls are beautiful and clever. I believe their future marriage will be very happy.
People come and go in the picture, and everyone's face is full of smiles. It seems that they are used to it.
However, when netizens see such a thing, they can't help but talk about it.
Some netizens said that the girl in 2006 was so young, and I was still studying in 2002.
Indeed, the girls in 2006 are only 16 years old now, which is normally the age of attending high school in school.
Some netizens worry that early marriage and puppy love will affect the physical and mental health of teenagers. At the age of 30, will she feel stupid when she looks back? Getting married and having children so early, shouldering the burden of family early, the best youth in life has passed.
Words are full of regrets.
My opinion:
Some netizens analyzed that taking girls as an example, the high probability is that parents in remote areas are divorced, or they are left-behind children in their hometown since childhood. Parents neglected discipline and dropped out of school early, so they got engaged early.
However, local people say that there are many such cases, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. After the children are engaged, they should go out to work for several years and get married when they reach the legal age of marriage.
According to the normal life track, a child 16 years old is still in high school, and the normal marriage age after graduating from college is 23-4 years old. By that time, their physical and mental development will be relatively mature and their marital status will be relatively stable.
On the other hand, in real life, young men and women who get married early are more likely to divorce after marriage and get married too early. When the sweet period of love has passed, marriage is prone to problems.
Therefore, parents are advised to guide their children correctly in marriage. It doesn't mean that everything will be fine when they get married. Marriage is a long journey of life, and it will not be smooth sailing. Let them have enough ability and mentality to face it, have a sense of responsibility and patience, and strive to manage their marriage well.
