Frances Bean Cobain, the 19-year-old daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, has gone from obscure offspring to certified celeb in just a few short months. In August, BeanCo posed for a series of modeling shots and The New York Times called it "one of the most anticipated comings of age in recent pop cultural history."
But that coming of age is soon to be followed by a very adult decision: She's gettin' hitched. Just a couple of months after her 19th birthday, the burgeoning media starlette has announced she's engaged to Isaiah Silva, guitarist and singer in a band called The Rambles. Reports also claim that Frances Bean Cobain and her fiance have even moved in together.

We're not sure how old he is, but he looks to be in his early 20s. A few sources already have suggested Silva looks a little bit like Kurt. We don't recall Kurt wearing deep v's very often, either, but the long hair and plaid is definitely reminiscent.
The news was officially announced over the couples' respective Facebook pages when they both changed their relationship status to "engaged." How's that for a 21st century announcement? She later wrote, "Getting to spend the rest of my life loving my best friend makes me the luckiest woman in the world." In Touch confirmed the news with a close friend who said, "Yes, she’s engaged and they moved in together in a big house near Runyon Canyon ... They are so happy!"

+15If she's old enough to die for her country in the armed services then she is certainly old enough to love and marry.
The only thing I would worry about is having enough money. It looks like they have that covered.
well joan jett beat her mom to the beat
courtney love her but nothing for r pattz and scar jo

If she is mature enough. It could mean it Looks like she knows was she wants
I became a father at 19 and married my ex wife at 21. Seven months later we were divorced. However that is my example and there are plenty of examples of teens marrying and staying together till death do they part or at least till their children grow up and move out of the house. Today I am almost 40 years old and I have a close relationship with my only child, my son. We live far apart but talk on the phone often.
Divorce is not an age specific thing and many times maturity is not as well. If two people have truly taken the time to get to know one another and they feel they are ready to marry it should not matter how old they are as long as it is a legal age.
Personally myself if I had to do it over again I would have waited but that is because I had a lot of growing up to do. My ex wife did as well. I think couples who plan to marry but have never lived together or who are dealing with some issues before they are set to marry should seek out a marriage counselor. Truthfully, despite the cheating due to my ex wife's youth I always felt I may have been able to save our marriage with counseling.
In the end though as long as two people are legally able to marry there is no way in which we can decide for THEM if they are too young. It...

In the end though as long as two people are legally able to marry there is no way in which we can decide for THEM if they are too young. It boils down to the people in their lives and their own feelings or readiness and maturity. My son is 20 years old and married with two daughters. He and his family seem to be doing well. My son at times ask for advice and I help him the best that I can. Still he knows that at the end of the day he has to be a man and make up his own mind. Should he and my daughter in law divorce I know it will not be because of their age. It will be because as two consenting adults in love they could not work things out. Divorce as I said before is not age specific just as I said maturity is not age specific. I will leave it at that.
For most of our 5,000 years of human civilization - 19 was just about exactly when you were married and already starting a family. This was 'perfectly normal' just a generation or two ago.
That should do it.
She's knows who she wants to be with and that's her choice entirely.
