You Are Too Young To Get Married

You are happy because over the threshold is where you'll be carried.
But you are too young to get married.
Marriage is a very serious step to take.
You are sixteen and this is a mistake.
Your parents signed the papers but that was the wrong thing to do.
They shouldn't have done that, that would've been best for you.
You better listen to what I'm about to tell.
Seventy percent of teenage marriages fail.
