Although I'm European (Dutch), I'm inclined to agree more with the Indian saying than that European family. Of course if one of my sons were to get a girlfriend, I'd welcome her, but in general it's a good idea to get your own life together before committing to a relationship. Average age of marriage here is 30, which I think is a fine age for it. (Of course there's a difference between sex, relationship and marriage, and I'm aware I'm somewhat conflating them in this discussion.)
