No its not mandatory that a gal shud marry a guy who is elder to her... The idea behind this concept is...gals are more mature than the guys of their own age..to match the compatibility and the level of maturity between two person it is considered to have an elder boy to a gal... n abt the love....love IS SMTHIN WHICH IS UN-CONTROLLABLE....u nvr knw whom u r fallin for....age no bar...caste no bar...religion no bar.... it just happens :)

No, it is not mandatory but I think it is better if the wife is younger than the husband or at least of equal age and never senior to her husband. This is because our society especially the Indian society is male dominated, the husband is the ring leader of the family. So it is better for the husband to run the family smoothly as the head if he is the senior most member in the family. So to me the husband should be older than the wife.

It's not mandatory at all. It's just a prefence. For me, I've always dated older men. I could never picture myself with a younger guy. It just wouldnt seem right. Woman mature much faster then men do. I think for some guys it's what they see in younger females that are much like themselves.

I can't really say why it's prevailing there. Experts say that women's brains develop rapidly during early stages, at least faster than men so i think it's better to look for younger girls than girls your age or older.

I don't think age is mandatory in a relationship. Because you can't really tell your heart to feel for young or older guy. But me i rather prefer for an older guy. Because older guys have more experienced and more matured about this kind of thing. And they're more caring and thoughtful than the young guys...

Age do matter for me,know why?because when you have a very far age gap with your partner its difficult for you to reach his/her level,you need to have a great adjustment in your relationship, you can think maybe you might acted in a childish way which he/she don't like. Its hard

I think age doesn't matter in nay relationship. I think if person like your behaviors then you may be good friend of them. So I think age really doesn’t matter in any kind of relationship and basically in friendship. Because I think in this relationship there are also many people who are really very younger than their many friends.

Karunvig hi... Maybe the women in India are looking for status or being well of for the future where they will not struggle when they have children later... I don't think age matters if the couple is happy & are compatible... For me though, I would rather be with my partner for love than for money & status... If there is no love but have money & status I would still be miserable because then my partner wouldn't think anything about my feelings or about how he's treating me... Even if my partner is poor but loves me deeply & cares about my feelings & has compassion, I would rather have his love & budget my everyday living with only the items we most need... I don't really care about material things, so the man being rich & high status in career or society is not that important for me... I'm content with my life at the moment... Have a great day mylot friends...

for me age doesnt matter also^^ what matters is feelings that both have for each other^^ i think that that happens in india bcs you believe in love after marriage and in a guy that can take care of the girl right? so maybe thats why bcs elder guys usually have a job already and can support her financially. but about me i dont think that money is the most important^^ love is^^ so even if a girl loves a younger guy is ok^^ if he really loves her they should be together^^ and if loves older guy can also be together but be with a older guy just bcs he is richer than a younger one thats a nonsense^^

hi..for me,age wouldn't be matter! what matters there is that how you can accept him/her from the bottom of you heart..you should fight for your love and dont think of it..
