Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Islam does not impose any age limit on marriage. Nor is it logical. Because energy capacity as an individual is different. Sometimes even at a young age there is a lot of strength, and many older people do not have that strength. That is why in Islam, the age of marriage is not a condition for any boy or girl. However, it is understood from the deeds of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that there should not be much difference between the ages of boys and girls. It is better to have less age difference. Which can be understood by looking at the marriage of Hazrat Fatima. Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Umar also proposed to marry Hazrat Fatima. Those who have nothing to say about excellence and dignity. After the Prophet (peace be upon him) the best person in the Ummah was Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Umar (peace be upon him). But the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not marry the young Fatima to them. With Hazrat Ali, a close elder. (Mawsuatu Hayatus Sahabiyat-621) Even if you get married in a minor age, it becomes pure. (Albahroor Rayek-3/206) However, if you are an adult, you should get married. The verses of the Holy Qur'an are engaging in the meantime - وابتلوا اليتامى حتى إذا بلغوا رشدا فإن آنستم منهم رشدا فإن آنستم منهم رشدا فإن آن إنستم منهم رشدا فادفعوا إليهم أموالهم (4: 6 القرآن: النوع: النوع: mentions , But you can give them their wealth. (Surah Nisa-6) 5142541638
