On-campus Marriage

There is a heated discussion these days since Chinese on-campus students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses. Some people applaud this new development while others have expressed their concern about this.

On the one hand, college students will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life because married students have more realistic problems to deal with than those unmarried ones. On the other hand, a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. They are old enough to take the responsibility and if they handle it well, marriage can bring them happiness and a sense of security.

In my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on-campus students to get married; however, it shouldn't be advocated or encouraged, either. The reason is that, for on-campus students, their main task is to acquire knowledge. If they get married, the family chores might distract them from studying, thus they may not graduate favorably or may not be capable of future works. I believe almost all on-campus students would deal with the question reasonably. (180 words)
