With television channels selling the idea of marriage through celeb swayamvars and the perfect bride wars, shaadi is the flavour of the season. But unless you are getting crores to string that garland around the neck of one bloke from among 10, Rakhi Sawant-style, we suggest you do some serious thinking before taking those saat pheras.

A marriage entered in haste, or even on an adventurous impulse, can crumble faster than a cookie, granny said.

Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne will agree. She admitted to realising that she'd got married in a hurry when she was just 21. The couple split recently after she claimed she wanted her own life back. Would it have turned out differently had she waited for a while?

Mumbai-based relationship expert Ameeta Sanghavi Shah says the ideal marriageable age could lie somewhere between 22 to 30. And if you plan to get married earlier than that, be prepared for pitfalls. "Young individuals are vulnerable. They tend to derive a sense of identity from the other person, which is harmful for their self-esteem. Their maturity levels are low and they are unsure about their boundaries," she says. But Shah admits that she has witnessed enough cases of young couples marrying early, and helping each other grow and support one another.
