I would say if you ask almost any person if they are a different person from 22 to 27 I would say most would say "yes". I sure would.
How hard would it be for, let's just say, an 18-year-old with a spousal visa and no University degree. Chances are just as hard as a Japanese 18-year-old. No one is going to hire an 18-year-old to be a teacher, foreigner or not. Most of my friends in Japan who were young and only graduated from high school were (and are) 土方 (dokata). These are construction workers. Now for me this was after the Great Hanshin Earthquake, so maybe there was a greater need at the time. Of course there is nothing wrong with construction work if that is what you are into and enjoy, and certainly many people do, but if that isn't your bag, why would you limit yourself to that. Obviously you need to have the skills and strength required to do that.
There would be no need for someone to be a "Mr. Mom" and stay home while the wife worked if there were no kids in the equation.
I have never heard anyone on this forum take this stance about a ill-conceived kanji tattoo, so why would people take the same stance about teenagers getting married?
Yes, it is possible they will survive. It is also possible to survive jumping from a five-story window. Does that mean it si a good idea?

no it doesnt make it a good idea but its his life and choice not ours. so if he wants to ruin his life then let him.
