So, exactly what does the church consider
too young for a serious relationship? I always heard about how education was a major part of the LDS doctrine--hence their support of a major research university. On the other hand, I hear about Mormon women marrying before they're 21--which seems too young to me. Is there a magic age at which church elders are encouraging marriage? I know that's how it is with the JWs. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, I just want to understand more.
The dropout rate for married women is and has been higher for that of unmarried women--regardless of school type or religion. Priorities change. I was going through my college's alumnae newsletter (back when half of it was women-only), and even in 1950, there were articles urging women to finish their studies and travel or work at least a year before getting married.
