My younger sister became a yesoimoh (orphan) at 15 and acted quite immature. When she was 19, the Skverer Rebbe (New Square) asked me ‘and what about shidduchim’ for her. I explained that in my opinion, she was too immature to get married just yet. He responded ‘She will mature under the Chuppa’.

And so it was. She really did mature ‘under the chuppa’ at 20 and built a beautiful family of bnei and b’nos Torah.

My 2 cents: Girls (parents) should seriously start with shidduchim at 18 barring extraordinary circumstances, and in any case discuss with g’dolei and manhigei Yisroel how to proceed.
