Enjoying life before getting married

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I hear someone saying: “A girl should first enjoy her youth, then she marries somebody (when she reaches her 23-25 years old) because once married, there are  responsibilities.” What would you answer to this?

A: Responsibilities commence from the age of puberty and generally the age of puberty commences from 11 or 12 for a girl. With age responsibilities will just go on increasing. Hence, there is no point to delay the marriage till the age of 23. Experience shows that most women who married at a younger age enjoyed more successful marriages than those who married later.
