Age of Marriage

As you can see in the bar chart in the last few years the percentage of who are married women under aged is decreased in six selected Arab countries in addition to Iran and Turkey..The UAE has experienced a massive drop of percentage of married women in the age 15-19 years old, in 1975 there was 57% but it dropped down to only 8% in 1995. Other drops also happened in Kuwait, Egypt, Tunisia and Palestine.
In the table you can see that men get married from mid-to late 20s but women get married from low-to mid 20s.The most dramatic thing in the chart was the drop of married women in the UAE and the other six countries in the past 30 to 40 years, and it also shows the 14 countries that women get married in their mid-twenties rather than their teens.
