Marrying young

I wonder why people often choose to go against nature instead of following nature’s rules: marry early and complete your families. Nature has an age for everything and though the deviation of a year or two doesn’t really matter, the strong desire to become prosperous creates a major hurdle.
Parsis, parents and youngsters, should spare a thought for this. We can pursue our careers even after our children are born. My husband completed his MBA (master of business administration) after our daughter’s birth. I trained in so many things, as did my daughter, after we had given birth to our children.
If one marries early, grandparents can assist with rearing the children while they are still capable and relatively young. I was working when my grandchildren were born. I understand it is somewhat difficult, but definitely not impossible.
If people marry early and complete their families while still young, it will also prevent disabilities that are sometimes seen in children born to older parents.
It is our duty to do this as our ancestors gave up their families, homes, fields, wealth and country to save our religion. We should not be unconcerned, inconsiderate and callous towards the requirements of our faith.
