Why People want to marry young girls rather than close to their age girls?

[Lactator]

I totally agree with you. But don't you think 17-18 yr is very early to ask for marriage?

I don't care either way. I personally aint getting married in my life. As for this case or others, it depends on the parties involved. The girl can simply not get married, her parents can simply not get her married this young. It's very disingenuous to think only the men wanting to get married or looking for young marriage prospects are to blame.
