OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont have that as a choice on my paper. The choices are 18 - 21 22 - 24 25 - 30 30+

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18-21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The average age people get married varies with the sex for instance in men, it is usually around 28 years while in women it is normally at 25 years.

OpenStudy (zale101):

oh, you mean at what age do most people get married not at what age most people are allowed to be married ...misunderstood the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bealtesandbroadway The question askes for the US average age of marriage not world wide or per sex. Just the US.

OpenStudy (zale101):

i think 22-24 since that's when people at that age get their BA degree and are off to look for jobs and marriage :P

OpenStudy (baby456):

before the age of 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I never really payed attention. I got married when I was 16 =/ so. I don't know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Congrats :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right now, in 2014 the average is 27.9, in the US

OpenStudy (zale101):

thanks @QueenSmiley it's up to the person if he/she feel capable and responsible :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea there are so many irresponsible people and teenage pregnancies that I though it would be 18 - 21 :p

OpenStudy (zale101):

that's true

OpenStudy (zale101):

those irresponsible teens weren't mature enough to handle these kind of situations, because they weren't taught of it before they got married
