Marriage is religiously commanded and naturally desirable. It should not be delayed when its time comes, except for a valid reason. Marriage holds immense benefits in both religious and worldly aspects; it helps lower the gaze and safeguard chastity, and it provides tranquility, affection, and mercy.
