It appears that marriage is rapidly going out of fashion
February 19, 2010
Official figures revealed last week that the number of people getting married has hit a new low. Women today are three times less likely to get married than their mothers generation. Less than one in 50 women went through with a wedding in 2008 across England and Wales. The marriage rate was the lowest in a non year war since records were started in 1862.The average first time bride is now 29.9 years old, whilst men who marry for the first time on average, are just over 32 years old. The figures have provoked a fresh debate over why couples are choosing not to marry?
