Women's age...

I am happy that time has change especially in our culture and countries . Some countries are still in the dark ages especially the religious ones that wont allow any free will .

In this connection I can only say ;- ---- "Gone are those olden days when girls use to get married at the age of 21 because it their parent use to make their marriage or it was sort of fashion. But now with modernization everything has changed, even ladies have become business and career minded. They want to do their career first and then only get married and start their family subsequently.

It seems that you are stating a fact that you read somewhere. But what is the discussion? Are you in favour or against? What do you want us to answer? Check the rules and guidelines of the site for ways start discussions. Welcome to mylot.

I think there are probably also big differences between different countries. In many Western countries, I am pretty sure the average age to get married is even higher than that...

My mom married in 1971 and she was only 21. I don't know why she wished to be married at such a young age although she was already working as a registered nurse in one of the government offices in our country. I got married when I was 22. It wasn't planned. But if things didn't happen, maybe I could have married years later. Overtime, the age of marrying of women becomes older because women have learned to make themselves really productive in terms of work. And since there are a lot of working girls now, they would also be commonly seen in bars, parties. Women now would like to socialize unlike the women before who were just domesticated.

my mum get married when she is 24, in 80s. each year they were increase i think. as woman know are more independent that before. but, certainly it still different by the country.

Thanks for sharing, here in mylot we learn many things, in our time gals used to marry at age of 15-16 and guys at 22-25; i got married in 1966, my wife was 16 then and i 22, but now gals marry at 22 usually and guys at 25+.. What is marry for the first time, are there multiple marriages?

In which country? And how was it before? My parents did marry at the age of 26 and 25 which was very common at their time. It was the time that parents still did ask the man if he was able to take care of their daughter, how much money he did save plus what his father did for job! Only if you would marry an old guy who already made a kind of carreer you were able (as a woman) to marry at an earlier age. Btw my granddad (father of my mother) wanted his daughters (no sons) to be prepared of their future, to have a profession so they would be able to take care of themselves. This was not very common at that time but a good thing. Both are high educated and were able to make a great income and build their own future. I don't think women currently get married at the age of 26 in my country. There is no difference since the pas 30 years if it comes to that. Only difference is that higher educated women are the biggest part of single women (no need to get married) plus marriage is not important anymore. If we count all women worldwide I also doubt the median age is 26. There are many cultures where girls marry as soon as they have their period which can be already at the age of 10-11 years old.

society has developed and changed, so does marriage's age. most people would like to get early since we do not want to be responsible for anyone. haha 26 is the golden age.

It shows age for marriage for women is increasing. That is awesome. Main thing is first women should be independent and then only they should marry. Otherwise they have to face many mental ,social, economical... problems.
