[40대 독학 Ielts] Task 2(Consentual relationships)

Task 2

Some people feel that the legal age at which people can marry should be at least 21 To what extent do you agree or disagree? 

 

Answer 2 (6.5) 

Basically,  I think that I can not restrict of getting married age because it is very personal problem.
I know some people argue that the legal age for marriage should be to 21, I disagree with this view.
Because I also believe that individuals should be allowed to make their own important decisions regarding marriage, regardless of age. 

Firstly, setting a specific age limit itself for marriage can be unfair to those who are mature and responsible enough to make such a decision at a younger age.
Everyone develops at their own pace, and some individuals may feel ready to get married earlier than others. 

Secondly, there are certain situations where young couples may benefit from getting married, such as in cases where they need to establish legal guardianship for their children or to gain access to medical care.
As we know, raising chilren is so tough and necessary to good health.
In that respct, it'll be better to marry with someone earlier.  
However, I also want to say that age should not be the main factor in determining one's readiness for marriage, as factors such as emotional maturity, financial stability, and informed consent should also be considered. 

In conclusion, I believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own choices regarding marriage, regardless of age. Dating someone, falling love with someone, maarriaging someone is absoulutely the crucial matter to one's life. If one of my friends wants to marry early, I would like to get stop to him(her). 

 

Answer 2 - revised (Score 8) 

Getting married is a lovely endeavour and significantly personal business.
Some argue that the legal age for marriage should be to 21, I disagree with this view.

Likewise, I believe that individuals should be allowed to make their own important decisions regarding marriage, regardless of age and no one should be permitted to interfere with this monumental decision between couples. 

Entering into wedlock can be a complicated and stressful situation.
So, I believe that the last thing anyone needs to worry about is whether they satisfy the age requirements some governments impose on citizens.
This way, those getting married can focus on more important matters, like the wedding or raising children.
As many can conclude, raising children is an exceedingly challenging task.

In that respect, it would be advisable to marry with someone earlier. Indeed, if citizens had to consider waiting a number of years to have a family it could be more difficult for them. Not to mention, what if those who wish to get married are about to have a baby, they are not within the age of majority, and the government decides they cannot marry, this could have terrible religious repercussions and cause even more turmoil within the families.
However, I also want to say that age should not be the main factor in determining one's readiness for marriage, as factors such as emotional maturity, financial stability, and informed consent should also be considered.

Firstly, setting a specific age limit itself for marriage can be unfair to those who are mature and responsible enough to make such a decision at a younger age.
Everyone develops at their own pace, and some individuals may feel ready to get married earlier than others.

Secondly, there are certain situations where young couples may benefit from getting married, such as in cases where they need to establish legal guardianship for their children or to gain access to medical care.

Finally, providing that the couple is financially capable of getting married and creating a sustainable future, the age of marriage should not sway the legality of the matter, nor the public image of the couple.

 In conclusion, irrespective of age, I believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own choices regarding marriage. Dating someone, falling in love with someone and getting married to someone is one of the most meaningful and important matters to one's life.

If one of my friends wants to get married early, I would wholeheartedly support them and definitely hope that no one would meddle in their personal business.
