I think minimum age should be 20. By then you most probably have two years of schooling done, usually the hardest part is over. It’s hard to juggle a new marriage and stay focused on schooling with studying and preparations at the same time. If the guy is in school too then maybe it’s more doable being that they’re basically on the same schedule. But if he’s learning, when he comes home every night he has to be very patient and understanding and may have to take a backseat if she has a heavy school workload, which is extremely tiring for the girls. I think the chosson rebbi should be mentally preparing the boys for this type situation. I also think the kallah teachers should be preparing the girls how to juggle attention to the new husbands while being focused on schooling.
