Single muslims should have intentions to marry as soon as Islamically permissible and a suitable candidate for marriage is available.

For a female, it is permissible to marry at any time near puberty.

For a man, he is ordered to marry after puberty once he has established a means to support a family.

It is recommended (in order to avoid being jailed) to not marry until old enough according to the laws in the land they live, but it is Islamically permissible before that. In the U.S., the typical legally permissible age is 14 or 15 with a parent's permission, but it will vary depending on where you live, so check with the local authorities first.

Neither should refuse marriage to a suitable muslim marriage candidate.

A woman is permitted (if she so chooses) to marry a poor man of good character, but she must not marry a non-Muslim.

A muslim man may only marry a muslim or non-polytheist christian or jew who is chaste.
