It is.

No, it isn’t

Taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans that you’ll be solely responsible for paying pack, taking premed courses, managing a crapload of shadowing & premed work experience (i.e. shadowing) requires a ton of maturity.

That's not a mark of maturity

Yes it is

She had a very limited dating history before this (he was her first everything), but met in college and got engaged this spring (one year after graduating college) after living together for a little under a year. I'm apprehensive because they seem so young, but they're a sensible couple who have similar life goals (finishing med school and starting a family together) and who clearly support and love each other dearly. But, I'm concerned she still has so much room to grow and change and that the stress of medical school (They're both M1s) will break apart their relationship. I know I can't interfere, but two years doesn't seem like enough time to know if someone's the "one". The family does think he's a perfect match for her (smart, good family, kind, listening, and extraordinarily patient), so no concerns on either side there.

What is wrong with 22? I'd say 16-18 is too young.

There are a lot of desperate women age 35+ seeking men because it was not the right time in their life earlier.

Two years is plenty of time to know someone is the right one.

It's not. Med students are not more mature than any other 22 to 26 year old.

You can’t control when you fall in love.

Gen Z is rejecting the Gen X and Millennial model of waiting to marry until you're 33 and waiting to start having kids until you're pushing 40.

And I say, good for them!

Care to provide sources for this?

That's not entirely true. Setting that aside, you definitely can control when you get engaged.

For engagement or marriage?
What is the penalty if they disobey you?

Engagement. They won’t have my support.

They’ll be better off without it.

Marrying young is a great way to build wealth.

Well...my dd got married last year at 22 to her high school sweetheart (he's a year older). they have their act together and have family support on both sides. It's young, yes. They do want to wait at least a few years before having kids.

My folks were married at 19 & 21 and have been married for 57 years.

I did NOT want to get married that young-but it seems to work for some people!

I’m guessing that PP has a husband or child who is a doctor, and she derives her obvious arrogance from their accomplishments.

Lots of people didn’t get into med school & can’t contain their jealousy to this day when they hear of those who did.
