If this is a problem. Then that is not God's will. Simple as that.
Sure some people get married early. But if the reason you got married was to avoid this, then the couple is only lusting after each other.
In a Godly relationship, this should not even be considered a problem. And even if it was slightly one, then you would need to make sure you never got a chance to see just how slight of a problem it is!

Ok bulgaria is EU so as usual. Look what God spoke: "..You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked. Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were OLD ENOUGH FOR LOVE.." So what do you mean by merriage - legal way to do children?
My grandmother married at age 16, she had 6 children, and remained happily married almost 50 years when my grandfather passed away. My mother was married at age 18 to my father who was 19. Their marriage lasted 63 years, till my father passed away.
My husband and I married in our mid twenties, still going strong after 33 years. Our kids are just starting to settle down in their 30's. I think it takes longer to mature in this day and age.
Despite all the successful, long marriages in my family, I think it is never right to marry for lust. Simply because lust fades, and if you do not have a loving relationship, you have fallen into an even bigger pit, and that is the possibility of divorcing someone who changes radically as they grown up.
Bulgaria might be different, but in Western culture, waiting till you find God's best choice for a partner for you should be the way to go!

totally depends on the couple. Are they getting married ONLY because they're extremely attracted to one another and they want to prevent premarital sex? If that was the only reason, I'd say it sounds unwise.
On the other hand, if they are ready for marriage in other regards, AND they are "burning with passion"...why wait?

Definitely, that's why I added "if they're ready for marriage in other regards". There's a danger in rushing but there is also a danger in too much waiting! I've seen couples who are mature enough for marriage and financially stable enough to afford a modest wedding/home, but because they have expectations to have an extravagant wedding and want to live in the nicest house and drive the nicest cars, they postpone the marriage until they can "afford it" and then next thing you know...fornication.
Theres a time to wait and a time to take action. Pray and seek godly counsel.
