Recently there has been a heated debate among people on whether college students should be allowed to get married during their studies. To this people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some people hold the view that college students are adults and that is a basic right for those who have reached the appropriate ages to get married. While others think problems may come along if college students get married during their studies. For my part, students should not be granted to get married during their studies for the following reasons.
First of all, college students should focus on their studies but not family life. We cannot deny that students’ main priority is to study, if they get married during their studies, a lot of family affairs would take up much of their time and energy, and this may undermine their academic pursuits. Students still have to complete their education within a fixed number of years and cannot continue their education after leaving school to have children or find employment.
What’s more, college students are not enough mature to get married, especially in psychology. Most college students are out of touch with society, and their thoughts tend to be simple, they easily make hasty decisions. There're too many uncertainties in their life and the pressure comes from everywhere if they really enter the society. When they meet a more attractive people or encounter setbacks in marriage, they may regret getting married too soon.
Last but not least, most of college students are not economically independent, and they are not able to afford a family. Marriage should have a certain financial and emotional basis, so they should not get married while in school. The cost of attending university and the extra marriage expenses will load parents with too great a burden.
On conclusion, college student should not be granted to get married because of their learning tasks, psychological immaturity, and economically dependent. Forming a family a few years after graduation should be advocated in the long run.
