Well here in the UK, most people don't get married until they are in their late 20's or early 30's. We are not a religious society at all, so religion doesn't really come into it It is generally felt that people need at least 10 years after leaving education, to get a decent job, save some money, and have freedom to travel, live their lives, and date quite a few people before settling down into a long-term relationship. Most people here will live together for quite a few uears before marrying, during which time they usually buy their house or apartment together. In many cases (like my own), they never get married at all - just love together for the rest of their lives - after all, who needs a piece of paper to prove you love one another?! I know in some cultures, it is expected for the girl to marry at a very young age, to be a virgin on her wedding night, and to devote her life to having children - this is definately not the case here. Most people only have 1 or 2 children (many choose not to have any at all), and a woman's career and money-earning abiltities are deemed as important as the mans.

Well, that is very interesting. Around here in the USA, most adults get marry in their early twenties late twenties. I guess it depends on their choice.

I'm from Africa, Nigeria to be specific. We are very religious and value our tradition as well. However, things are changing fast. There is no rule as to when a man or woman should marry. What I can say for sure is that, women are expected to marry from about age 20 and before they reach the age of 30. A 30-year old woman is considered as getting too old and many parents don't like this. Moreover, many men don't like to marry women above the age of 30. For men, there is more flexibility. A man may marry from age 22 and above. A sing man above 32,should expect pressure from his parents and relatives to marry. As far as I am concerned, a man is ready for marriage when he has an accomodation and a reliable means of livelihood that can take care of a woman and at least a child. Moreover, the man should be mature enough to deal with marital challenges. For women, once a woman is mature enough to cope with marital pressure and have a means of livelihood to support herself and her husband, she should marry.
