A woman has advised other women not to get married before they turn 30 years old.
She said getting married when you are too young can make you regret it later.
The woman shared her own story.
She said she met her husband when she was 18 years old and married him when she was 21.
Now she wishes she had waited longer and gotten married when she was older.
She said men like to marry women who are very young before their brains fully develop.
She said anything younger than 27 or 28 is too young to get married.
Her words have made people on social media argue about whether what she said is right.
Some people agree with her because they think it is better to wait until you are older before getting married.
Other people disagree and say that the right age to get married is different for different women.
One person said the woman is making good points with her explanation.
But they said asking women to wait until 30 to get married is not good because 30 is when most women should be having babies and starting their families.
They said marrying at 30 might be too late to have children.
Another person agreed that the woman has a point. But they said not every woman should follow the same rule.
They said if a woman has plans for her life and decides to get married even if she is younger than 28, that is her choice and it does not matter.
