Question: Age for Marrying and Having Children

May I know, what is the correct age to get marriage and have children?

Your servant,
Prahlada

Answer: Twenty-five for Men, Seventeen for Women

Before marriage devotees are strictly celibate. And after marriage devotees restrict themselves to only having sex for procreation. They do not indulge in it for recreation. Procreation is allowed as soon as they are married, provided they do so in accordance with the regulative principles of bhakti. Instead of trying to derive happiness and satisfaction from sex indulgence, they find their happiness in serving Krishna together as husband and wife. This is the Vedic way of elevating the consciousness beyond the material platform, attaining a state of pure transcendental bliss, and becoming fully qualified to go back to home, back to Godhead.

Regarding the age for marriage Srila Prabhupada explains:

"In Vedic culture, marriage generally doesn't take place until the boy is about twenty-four or twenty-five and the girl is about sixteen or seventeen.”
