D. Generalization/Valuing

Getting married at a very young age when

you’re not yet prepared with the obligations
accompanied to it will give birth to more
problems. Therefore, before entering to a
marriage life, we must not only think twice
but a hundred times. To the youth, there are
lots of things that should be taken into
consideration before marrying of course,
 including their readiness to take
responsibilities of raising a family and being
able to respond to their needs.
Marriage is not a move that they can cancel
when they feel like doing so.
