that is so true ,but you know what I don't understand???? I don't unerstand the double standard of society. It's okay for a much older man to date a much younger woman, but if a woman does it, it's wrong.
Once its in the bounds of a legit and sensible relationship, I see no problem with it.

They say age is nothing but a number but I would not advice a man to marry a woman older than him. This is because women mature psychologically earlier than men do. We had such a situation in Kenya where a young man married aged 30 married a woman of 60 years. The media criticized them every other day. Many people said he was after her money because she was a wealthy woman. She did after few years and he was left with most of her money. However if you are in love just follow your heart.

In my view, I don't think it's a question of right or wrong. But the truth is that the marriage between a young man and a older woman will face more social pressure. Many people may think that the young man must be pursuing something such as fortune and power by means of marrying an older woman. In many cases, such families often collapse owing to these gossips in the surroundings.

Are there any wrong things here? If they're love to each other, they can get married without the distance of their age. I don't know why the man can't get his lover only because she's older than him? are there any reasons?

Perhaps we can't judge it right or wrong. It is just whether this kind of marriage is suitable or not. In fact I do think the big age gap has a big effect on the marriage. The marriage of young girls who marry to old men or the young boys who marry to the old women makes us to think about the money since it seems it is not a normal marriage. It is hard to adjust to each other since there is a big age gap between them.

I don't see anything wrong as long as they love each other. Maybe it depends on culture or mindsetting. But for people who are open and wide minded, there is nothing wrong when it comes to love. Age is just a number.

You should ask in your country if it's legit or not.
I have a question for you: is it legit for a man to marry a way younger woman? And if yes, why?????
Ask yourself too, why would a woman be stucked with an old guy? Because he is so great looking?

Yes why not,as people say love is blind and love can happen at anytime to anyone without any restrictions.

when love knocks our door no matter how young or old our partner maybe it doesn't matter. we simply can't choose whom we're going to love and marry when love is working.
