Tigerboi, the average age for marriage in developed countries is about 30 for men and 27 for women. I don't think that is too early at all. (For example, any later and it becomes hard for women to become pregnant.)
If you were referring to my position in particular, in one sense I would agree: I don't think most people are ready for marriage at 21 (which is how old I will be). But, on the other hand, some are. In my opinion it is more an issue of maturity and life experience than age per se.
That's not really that young. People at my school get married all the time, usually four or six people each year. This girl was married in 2001, when she was seventeen, and is still together with her husband. (She's a teacher here now.)
