We don't have custom here in our country. I also get married first than my elder sister. Some people say that their is some tendency that she will not have her own family because her younger sister get married first to her but it is only a belief that the elders telling to her. She have her boyfriend but they are unstable.. Hope that they become stable very soon.

there is no custom in any country that a little girl cannot marry when old sister have no marry .parents think that who have got suitable match should marry when the elder will get the suitable also be got married.

As for our Malay custom, yes the younger sister can get married earlier that her elder sister/s but the husband-to-be has to give the future sister-in-law/s gift as per requested by his future sister-in-law. If it were expensive gifts, then he has to obey.

Well you know there are lots of different ways that people look at how marriage is suppose to be. Like In my country or I should say the way I was raised to basically live by the ten commadments. I guess that might not be really what you meant by customs. I hope I helped if not sorry. will try again later.
