Hello guys…In this occasion I would like to speak about “Too Young To Be Married : Good or Bad?”

Many opinions about this topic. But, a lot of people said that it is bad. Why?? Of course they have the different reason about it and all of them are right.

OK…now, we will start from different side, from the “Pro Side”. So, too young to be married is good. Do you know why?? Let’s look at the fact about the vagrant in Indonesia. Many of them are children. They are too young to work. So, if they will be married it can decrease the rate of vagrant. And then it can control the free sex in adolescent society. Because we know that a lot of girls pregnant without married. It is caused by free sex.

Many children can’t continue their study. Then they just stay at home and can’t find a job, because they don’t have enough experience. So, it can become the burden for their parents. And then many of them preferred to be married in a young age.

On the other hand, too young to be married is bad. We will talk from the “contra side”. It may cause many negative effects for the bride, especially for women’s health. She isn’t already yet to be married and her reproduction organ too. It is dangerous for their baby. Besides that, the young people do not have enough mental to be married. So, in their new family there are many quarrel between the boy and the girl. Many problem happen and not all of the boy has a job. Some of them are unemployment. So, it can cause a new problem in their family.

OK…now, you have known some opinion about too young to be married : good or bad?? Now, you can share your own opinion. What do you think guys???
