Marriageable at eighteen / At eighteen for wedlock

Marriageable at eighteen / At eighteen for wedlock

A person who has reached the age of eighteen, the age deemed appropriate for marriage.

(See: Pirkei Avot 5:25 above; likewise: “There are those who wait twenty or thirty years after their marriages before issuing a marriage permit. And it is said: The law of the kingdom is law. In what cases is this relevant? When their law does not contradict the words of the sages, which is not the case here, as the Mishnah says ‘son of eighteen for the wedding canopy’” – Agnon / Ir u-Melua, 40)
