EVILS OF LATE MARRIAGE FOR WOMEN
Medically, a lady is mature as soon as menstruation starts. Most women start menstruation by the age of 11,12,13, 14 up to 18years. If any lady fails to menstruate by the age of 18, that's abnormality. It is a disease; We should take note. But 11 to 18years is still acceptable...
Now, what we mean by menstruation is that every month, every lady will release an egg from the ''ovary ''. An ovary is a house of eggs in a woman; the eggs that become baby in the future & the number of eggs in the ovary is limited; it cannot be increased. So every month when a lady starts to menstruate, an egg is released. Once a lady/woman releases an egg, it is menstruation. And once that egg waits for like 72hours in any woman's reproductive system and there is no sperm to fertilise it, it comes along with menstrual blood; so it is wasted, but that is minus one from the counts in the ovary. So if you now start counting, it that means a lady loses eggs from the age of 11 like that... 12eggs in a year, another year another loss, another 12eggs and so on.
The pattern of eggs in a woman are in three phases, just like any fruit passes through 3 phases: 1st phase - Unripe phase, not good to eat. 2nd phase - Ripe phase very good to eat, best time to eat. 3rd phase - bad phase. This is similar to the phases of eggs that will be released in any woman as she develops. We have some eggs that will be released in a woman in the first phase. It is the time when a woman starts to menstruate up to 18years, so from 11 to 18years is the first phase of eggs. These are the eggs that can be liken to unripe eggs like unripe fruit. Once a woman reaches age of 18, this is second phase of eggs. That second phase is between 18 and 24years. These are the best form of eggs that a woman releases in her life. They are best in quality; they are best in fertility potential, best in everything you can be think of. Those are the best eggs. They are such that when any sperms hit them they become fertilized and develop baby immediately. They don't fail because they are very good.
So the third phase is the last stage at age 24 and above. This is when the bad eggs will be coming up. So it is a consensus that if any woman wants to be very fertile in her life, the best time to start that fertility period and doesn't want to stress herself go around before she conceives is between the ages of 18 and 24. So marriage in that age range is acceptable worldwide. Dear sisters of 24years upward are facing risk of infertility. I am not saying that every lady of age 24 will necessarily face risk of infertility but majority of infertility cases is common among those who are over 25years. You would rarely find someone who marries within 18 and 24years facing infertility problem except if she has done abortions, uses contraceptives or something similar. But ordinarily & naturally, they are not likely to suffer infertility. So that is the position of age.
There was a programme on NTA nationwide in Nigeria sometimes ago. Their discussion was based on health and the topic was: ''The reason why infertility is increasing in Nigeria''. Three foreign doctors from England were invited who specialized on the treatment of infertility and one was invited from Nigeria. Those foreign doctors have been practicing in Nigeria for long. They had experienced so many cases of infertility like that but not a single muslim was from amongst those involved.
At the end of the programme, they all concluded that the most common reason why infertility is increasing in Nigeria is that most ladies/women in Nigeria don't marry at the right/normal time. They marry very late @ the age of 25 and above. They said they suspected the cause of infertility to be late marriage owing to fact that most parents insist their children must complete their education before getting married.
