Many of you have a tainted cartoon view of mother in laws, there not always evil.
As for those who claim that you shouldnt get married young etc. In my case I already have a degree, working my first graduate job, nearly 22, earning decent money (alhamdulilah), but it was one option i was considering. Besides i'd rather do that then claim cayd that i am not entitled to.
Also some of you have the mentality that getting married young is dumb. WTH did the prophet saw advise men to get married in order to guard their chasity? from the ages of 18-24 it is very hard for men to resist zina, is marriage then not the best option?
Sxb we all know the Prophet SAW advised us to get married young. But it isn't always about financials, although it plays a role.
I talked to a brother who just graduated at my Uni and he thought our MSA should have a full blown discussion about marriage. But the problem is, the girls are much more mature than the guys (even in the early 20s) and most of the time us dudes think about is "Lets ****" and not much else, no other sense of responsibility comes to mind.
So we are advised to marry young, but wallahi I think there is a such a thing as
"too young" even at 21, fresh out of Uni...
There is quite a large number of girls already divorced around our age groups already...it is a tabboo subject most definitely
but it also depends on the environment...I think in the Muslim world, it is much more practical to get married young, IMO...
Anyway, I think you seem like a responsible dude who is already ahead of the game so I don't think you'd have much of a problem

But I disagree about staying with hooyo..
My mom is a people person, so is my father...they rarely have any problem with anyone, but I cannot imagine them letting me stay in their house being a married man (which has all of the responsibility attatched to it)...they'll let me stay at home as long as I'm in school, doing something with my life...but marriage...I think you and your wife need to be alone in your own setting.
I can see the benefits of staying at home. A good friend of my father, his family owns 2 large houses...the whole family is there and they save a lot of money with everyone paying the bills and since the houses are huge there is a lot of space for everyone...
