Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Premature ejaculation does not constitute a hindrance from marriage. But it could have some effect on the wife's enjoyment and gusto of sex. In this case, the man might ejaculate before the woman has reached her orgasm. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "If one of you has sex with his wife and gets his orgasm before her, he should not hasten her." [ Abd al Razaq ].
Any man who suffers from premature ejaculation could see a doctor and get any appropriate lawful treatment for this. One may also occupy your mind with something different while having sex as this might help him stay longer to make his wife get satisfaction.
Allah knows best.
