Is 22 yo a late age to just START looking to get married ? ( Muslim)

22 actually is way young

Are you Muslim ?

what do you think is a good age to get married ?

And for a girl which age ?

Are you Muslim ?

MAIN QUESTION
Why does it matter if your muslim or not????

Unless you want a religious answer, there is no need to include Islam in this...

Yes I would get whatever type of education I want first and then marry

So you said 22 is a way too young.

Answer honestly would you accept a girl who is more than 25 when you will consider to marry?

Dunno, if I don't take actions no-one will be aware that I exist. I can't just stay at home revising for my exams and wish someone will find me.

My parents don't arrange marriages ( I'm Arab it's a bit different than Asians families).

I 'm worried because I feel 25 will come soon, since you hit 20, years are like months.I don't know what to do

Yea I get your dilemma. It's not easy to just do your own thing when everyone around you is married and doing what's culturally expected of them. Can I ask you a question, are you a Muslim? See because I am, and the reason why I don't have this same fear that you do (trust me when I say that I can't wait to get married and have my own family either), is because I have so much faith in Allah's plan. I'm 100% convinced that he's going to sort me out with a husband, whenever he decides is the right time. And even if I don't get married in this life, I believe 100% that he'll sort me out in the next life. I suppose it also helps that I actually have two aunts who never got married and actually stayed single so they could look after my grandma (until she passed away last year - may Allah have mercy on her). They were so good to her that I know that their efforts won't go to waste.

For me it helps that I'm as spiritual as I am. If my beliefs weren't as strong as they are, then I would probably be in a similar state of apprehension as you. But also, I do have some worries too. My parents moved here from 'back home' whereas I was born here, so we don't really have the same views on 'how' exactly I'm supposed to approach marriage (my mum wants me to just sit and wait for a guy to magically 'find' me, bless her). for the time being, I have other things that I'm focussing on, but I know that eventually it's going to come up and I'm going to just have to tell them what I think. so I agree with you and also hope that things will get better for the future generations.

Are you asking me this: I am 22years old would I marry a 25 year old woman?

Anonymous if you wanna chat about this whole marriage thing, you can PM me, I didn't know you're an Arab. I'm an Arab too and I can relate to you more than I first thought (especially with what you wrote in this post that I've quoted)

Oh really ? Where do you come from originally?

No my question is, in the future when you will start looking for someone would you marry a 25 + yo girl ?

You told me 22 is still young which I agree I f I already had someone, but the thing is that I reached 22 and I'm not yet in a relationship. So I still need to look for someone, find someone that I like ( and that is so difficult) It can take more than 3 years.

You want a religious answer, then you should visit your local mosque.
You go to the Doctors when you're ill...

This honestlly seems as if you want an opinion based answer and reconciliation of the fact it may not be to late. If you were actually looking for answers you would ask someone who specialised in the area, do you know anyone who specialised in this area of expertise?
Hint, he leads prayers in the mosque.

Stop involving Islam as a publicity stunt to get people to click on your thread.

I'm originally Iraqi, you?

Btw I wanted to reply to the other post that you quoted me in as well...

[But I truly believe in action oriented behavior to reach my goals in life. I can't just pray and expect Allah to send me magically someone. It's the same as I can't just pray, don't study and expect Allah to grant me success in my exams. I need to work for it.]

Oh trust me, I'm all about the action too. I happen to disagree with mama's approach And having faith that Allah is going to sort you out doesn't mean you don't take action. We're pretty much on the same page with this. That's the issue I have with the whole idea of waiting. I'm like 'how's a guy supposed to find me if I don't go anywhere!' haha.

But one thing I wanted to correct you on, it's not an Islamic requirement to get married at around 25. I've no idea where you got that idea from. The wife of the prophet (SAW) khadijah was 40 when she married him! Not only that, but she was the one to propose. Habibti, you're putting these limitations on yourself that have no basis in Islam whatsoever <3 Islam was never about making life hard
