Ahmadinejad mentions ideal age for marriage
Young men should get married no later than at 20 and young women no later than 16-17, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, according to cursorinfo.co.il.
Presently, the average age for marriage in Iran is 24-26. Ahmadinejad strongly criticized it saying that young people should get married earlier, yet he did not explain the reasons why he thinks people should get married at a young age.
Iran’s opposition said fulfillment of Ahmadinejad’s directive would lead to increase in unemployment rate in the country.
