I definitely agree that marrying young can cause problems, because people change such a lot as they mature. I say this quite regularly to young people on this forum.
However, I am surprised that this pattern is discussed in the 20-24 age range. Certainly, I do think that 20 is still young, but I was married before the age of 24, as were many of my friends and relatives. Most marriages are still going strong.
The marriages that didn't survive tended to be the ones, where the participants were under 21. Of course, this is a generalisation. People may divorce for all sorts of reasons.
I can think of at least two people, who waited until they were around 30 to marry ~ one separated and one divorced.
