I think it is pretty different, actually. Postponing due to societal expectations assumes you do really want to marry. Marrying because of religious or family pressure or because you want to have sex assumes outside factors are having a disproportionate impact on that decision. Different motivations for wanting to get married. Presumably the couple that doesn't want to wait two years would also be able to say, screw it let's go to the courthouse and people would get over it
 The other couple...he'll fire and brimstone, social shunning?[/quote]

I agree.  Someone close to me just married at 23 and 23.  They were not allowed to "date", and this was the only way to be together.  But they were never "together" before they got engaged so they can't know each other that well.  Once engaged, they were allowed to "court" and spend time alone for the first time, but only in public, and only for 6 months.  The girl's father would only allow a 6 month engagement since there would be too much temptation.  If there had been any sex before marriage, she would be shunned for life.

Very very sad.  [/quote]

What religion? It’s really not that sad [/quote]
