[Avodah] on gettting married

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

The Shulchan Aruch (Even Haezer 1) paskens that one must marry by the age
of 20. If he passes the age of 20 the bet bin forces him to get married so
that he will fulfill pru u-revu (ie he would get whipped a few times as an
encouragement to get married - better than speed dating)



Ramah adds that today we don't force on this or other things of getting
married.



Mordecai answers because the gemara at the end of Chezkat Habatim says that
after the churban it is best not to have children and the nation should
disappear. We allow marriage only because it is better that they be shogeg
and not mezid. The Mordecai concludes that true we don't prevent marriage
but certainly we should not force someone to get married.
