Getting married is one of the most significant decisions a person can make. It’s not just about love but also involves factors like financial stability, emotional maturity, career goals, and personal readiness. Across the world, cultures approach marriage differently. In some societies, it's seen as a rite of passage into adulthood and happens relatively early. In others, it's something people do later, once they feel independent and established.
