As a foster parent of children I sometimes watch the matrimonial columns in the newspapers. It gives me an Idea what the situation is in the marriage market. Quite many of the matrimonial ads are posted by parents seeking alliances for their daughters. It's interesting to see that quite many of these ads are for seeking grooms for career girls. As we can see these girls are 29 or 30 years of age. Some are even 35 and more! Many of them are career women well placed in high jobs. I understand building a career takes a lot of time; actually years . That , I believe, is the reason, many women of these times marry late. I may be wrong. Correct me in the response boxes and add your take on this topic.

Women here are marrying much later in life I think. Of course, in our 'liberated' country some don't get married at all but live with their partners without bothering to marry. I don't think too many marry young.

It has become quite common a trend. Less educated girls and those with no ambition of chasing a high career get married early.
