They marry when they want to, and some never get married.
But there is some pressure to get married, by once own self as dating allowed, but not consummation before marriage.
Parents also want to be grand parents, more so in society, which believes God has ordered them to spreed their prodigy across the land.
There is no push to get married young, one has to be baptised as part community body of Jesus Christ followers to marry, but marriages may happen at any age that is legal with parents consent on up.
But the worse part of all this, is those that can not get married, you are limited to most part to other plain people, and there are more woman than men, forcing a percentage of woman to live unwed spinsters lives.

∙ 11y agoFirst of all they believe The Bible when it says that A believer should never marry a non-believer. So The Amish can only marry Amish. Usually it is from another family that are not close cousins. They will travel for many miles to go to a wedding and will hire someone to drive them.
The person driving them is not an Amish person and needs to eat separately and stay separate from the Amish. Again they believe come out from among them and be ye separate. Also Only Friends and family can attend.

Can Amish women date men outside of the Amish belief?
There is no cut and dry answer to this question, both genders are compelled not to seek mates outside their faith, especially outsider English people in fear they will leave their Amish society. You can only date as Amish person another baptized member, to be baptized is to make a verbal contract obligation to the community and Amish society to stay. But do Amish woman and men date outsiders, yes, mostly in secrete. If it is known that the Amish person is dating a outsider, everything will be factor in letting such Amish person continue, from the desire the outsider interested in joining, to the Amish persons parents, but the greatest determination factor will come down from highest elder in the community. If a Amish person regardless of their age, does something like date a outsider, against the denial the elder, they first will be shunned and if it continues excommunicated with nothing and no family ties.
