"Adolescence is the most beautiful period. Passionate and full of enthusiasm. So try not to get married early," said Deputy Governor Sitti Rohmi as quoted by Antara.
He hopes the youth to prepare for the future as well as possible. In fact, he said, teenagers are better off being single than getting married early, especially for women.
"Prepare for a better future from a young age. It is better to be single than to marry at an early age. We should not take early marriage for granted so that we will regret it later," he said.
He said that it is better to be patient with being single than to marry at an early age because there are many risks, including immaturity in mental and psychological aspects of a family and health risks.
"Especially for women. Because there is a very high risk of maternal and infant mortality," he said.
The Deputy Governor also conveyed the role of schools to foster the noble character of students because they are the foundation in realizing the golden generation.
"Moreover, SMA, SMK to MA, must be a place to build morals, if the morals are good, God willing, the next golden generation will be better," he said.
