Hadorah: The mishna in Pirkei Avos says that 18 years of age should be the ceiling of when to get married, not the floor. It wants us to be married no later than that age. The absolute Halachic deadline one must get married by is age 20. After that the Halacha is (content warning: readers with liberal tendencies are recommended to stop reading this comment) that if he isn’t trying to get married once he is 20, Beis Din should force him to get married.
