Hare krsna

I am a man of 24 yr and can I marry a woman of age elder than me may be 25 or 26?

How Iskcon or vaishnavism logically sees this?

Thank you.

Thank you all for your replies ,matajis and prabhujis. The actual thing is, I am not asking this above question by having a specific woman in mind. While trying to find KC woman on sites like devotee match etc. , I am not finding KC woman, of age lesser than me, only finding age more than me. So, should I change my way of search?

    • Mataji, I have contacted on message.
      • Should I contact on any other channel?

          pls send me mail on my inbox. i am unable to send to you.
          • I have sent a friend request to you, you need to accept that for me to send an email to you.
  • If are both in love, have similar interests, likes and dislikes than it is ok (in my view). What matters most is that you are both willing share your life together, always be there for each other and make each other happy, after all isn't that what the lord would expect of you?

      If both are so much in love, then why come to a public forum and ask this question?
      What we have answered is as per scriptures, not "my view".
      What the lord expects is very clearly mentioned by the lord in Bhagavad Gita - Yad karosi yad asnasi yajjuhosi dadasi yat - whatever you do, do it as a service to Me. This includes marriage. It is called Girhasta Ashram in our scriptures, as against Grihamedhi. Both terms are explained in Srimad Bhagawatam.

      • Where does it say you cannot marry a woman older than you?
  • Before marriage, better to check with your elders and Guru! Contact in nearby Temples to the devotees and discuss what is ur exact situation, also Goal of any marriage should be to serve Lord Krishna by producing Krishna conscious children and raising all of them including wife toward ultimate goal of human life i.e. to love and serve Krishna and go back to Godhead. All the best! Hare Krishna!
