First Marriage Age 2022 and 2023

Between 2022 and 2023, there will be a change in the percentage of ever-married women aged 10 years and over, taking into account the age of first marriage. In 2022, 33.28% of previously married women experienced their first marriage under the age of 19, while in 2023, this figure increased slightly to 33.74%. Although there has been an increase, this shift may reflect the dynamics of social or policy changes that may influence the age at first marriage. In contrast, in the group of women who experienced their first marriage after the age of 19, there was a slight decrease from 66.72% in 2022 to 66.26% in 2023. This change could reflect changing trends in society regarding understanding and acceptance of the age of marriage.
