Yes, you can absolutely marry a girl who is 2 years older than you.
The age difference of two years between consenting adults has no bearing on the legality or validity of a marriage. As long as both individuals are of legal marrying age in their jurisdiction and freely consent to the marriage, the age difference is irrelevant.
Here's a breakdown:
- Legality: Marriage laws primarily focus on age of consent and capacity to consent. A two-year age difference falls well within acceptable parameters.
- Social Acceptance: Age differences in relationships are common and becoming increasingly accepted. A two-year difference is generally considered negligible.
- Personal Compatibility: The success of a marriage depends on factors such as shared values, communication, mutual respect, and love, not age. I know a number of happy marriages where the woman is at least three years older than the man.
- Emotional Maturity: Emotional maturity varies from person to person and is not solely determined by age.
In short, if you and the girl in question are both consenting adults who wish to marry, a two-year age difference will not prevent you from doing so.
