Is it okay to get married on a young age?

If you ignore the lunar calendar's auspicious and inauspicious dates, as well as the couple's birth dates, and simply look at the Little New Year festival, then it is a more suitable time for marriage.
Because Xiaonian is a relatively festive day, in ancient China there was a tradition of forced marriages after Xiaonian. According to traditional folk belief, all gods have gone to heaven after the Little New Year and there are no taboos anymore. Therefore, there is no need to choose a date to marry a wife or betroth a daughter. This is called "rushing into random marriages" and every day is a good day to get married. There is a saying in the folk song, "At the end of the year, villages are busy with weddings, and Yichun’s invitations are sent to celebrate the spring. Sisters whisper to each other in front of the lamp, and this year’s staying up late is the bridal chamber."
However, whether it is a good time to get married on the Little New Year cannot be judged solely by the good or bad festival. It also needs to be combined with the lunar calendar's auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the day, as well as the birth dates of the newlyweds.

Can a girl who gets married on the Little New Year spend the holiday at her parents’ home?

If we look at it from a traditional perspective, women who get married on a young age are not allowed to spend the New Year's Eve at their parents' home.
This is mainly because, according to the traditional Chinese understanding of family formation, when a woman gets married, she immediately becomes a formal member of the man's family. My former mother’s family has become just “relatives” to me. When a woman officially becomes a member of the man's family, it is impossible for her to be too casual when visiting her "relatives", let alone on the days when the family reunites on New Year's Eve or New Year's Eve. Going back to your parents' home is a very formal affair and it is not something you can do casually.
However, with the development of the times, this idea is gradually fading away. If there is no rule that prohibits you from going back to your parents' home, then you can go back to your parents' home.
During the Little New Year festival, it is recommended that everyone go home to visit their parents. After all, the elderly also hope to see their children come back to accompany them during the festival.
