Parents consider it appropriate to ask their children when they will get married. It seems that conversations about this topic with women start at the age of 18-20. Whenever you are serious about your relationship with your lover, your relatives keep arguing and questioning you on this topic. Either way, I suspect this is a question often asked by men as well. The interesting fact is that people in countries that are economically more stable and advanced feel that they will get married late. In the present times, the general trend of marriage has changed globally. People are preferring to get married late. He waits until he is sure about getting into this relationship. That’s not really the case everywhere but it seems like we’re all on top. Let us take a look at the age at which women get married in different countries and its statistics.
India-24
The average age of marriage for women in rural areas of India is 22 years. Interestingly, women in urban areas marry at the age of 26. With economic growth we have seen a change in mindset and the average age of marriage in India has improved. Comparison with the numbers recorded in the last decade shows that women in India are now more conscious about their marriageable age.
Mexico-23
Mexico had a very bad history of early marriage. But since the laws have changed, the age limit has also changed from the early 20s. Can you imagine what it was like before? But 23 years of age is still too young for marriage. What is most troubling is that in Mexico it is still common to think that women are only there to get married. They are housewives, who raise children and take care of the family. For some women, this idea of waiting a long time hinders them from pursuing higher education and progressing.
Russia-24
The average age of marriage in Russia is 24 years. This is a huge improvement and women seem to be following women in the West in choosing to wait longer for marriage. Still 24, according to West, but old enough to finish university and also mentally figure out who he really wants to spend his life with.
China-25
China was notorious for early marriage but since the country has suffered from lack of development and economic growth this has also affected marriage traditions. There are still many cases of marriage before the age of 25 but highly educated women prefer to wait. Who knew getting a job you love and empowering yourself could have such an impact.
Spain-27
Let’s be honest, you expected the numbers to be lower in Spain, didn’t you? Finally, due to their highly emotional appearance, Spanish women marry early. But at the same time it is also known that even though the law in Spain allows people to get married early, most of them are not in a hurry to get married.
Japan-29
Japanese women are getting married around the age of 30. Most of them believe that the reason for this is their career. These days, financial independence is important to most women in Japan. They strive and devote their time to build a successful career. And when she achieves a level of success, she marries only once after meeting a suitable person. In fact, financial support and stability are not issues of marriage, so Japanese women have no reason to get married early.
Finland-31
Apparently Finnish women do not give importance to old traditions. Here, if a woman does not marry till the age of 30 then she is considered a failure. You know this thing which you must have heard. Well may not have heard like other women. They generally marry in their 30s and the divorce rate is low here.
France-32
France is seen as a super romantic country and many people come here specifically to propose to their partner. But the women here do not think about love and marriage. There is love in the atmosphere here but marriage has less priority. Many couples date and end up living together for years before getting married. Most of the children in the country are born before marriage and the parents marry later. They just know that marriage is a ceremony and it does not require real happiness. Marriage is a symbolic gesture in which people are not necessarily in love.
Italy-33
In fact, it is not surprising for Italians to remain unmarried for 30 years. In fact this is very common. You may think that Italy is a traditional country for marriage and family values. This is also true but people don’t just get married. Women wait up to 30 years to get married and interestingly, they live longer than their spouses.
