You must have heard this song, “There is no limit of age, no restriction of birth, when someone loves you then look only at the heart”. This means that love has no limits and age is no barrier. Love is a feeling that can happen at any age, under any circumstances and with anyone. But when it comes to marriage, age plays an important role. It is said that there should be an age difference between husband and wife. It is especially believed that the age of the husband should be older than that of the wife. Is it really necessary to have an age difference between couples? Let us now know when one should get married…
What does the society say?
In our country it is believed that there should be at least 3-5 years of age difference between husband and wife. Especially in arranged marriage, age is taken into consideration, but when it comes to love marriage, it is not given much attention. There are many people who have chosen a partner who is older than them but still they are living their married life happily. For example, there is an age difference of about 15 years between Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor and model Mira Rajput. There is also an age difference of about 10 years between another actress Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas. Despite not following all the traditional norms, they are living a happy married life.
And what does science say?
What is the right age to get married?
The legal age of marriage in our country is 18 years for girls and 21 years for boys. As a result, there is a minimum age difference of 3 years between husband and wife. This age varies from country to country. But, experts say that science mainly depends on physical maturity, and mental maturity is also necessary. Experts suggest that before marriage, both the parties should be physically, mentally and emotionally mature.
What should be the age difference between husband and wife? Does age difference matter in marriage?
However, it is said that age alone does not matter for the success of a marriage. Experts advise that there should be a feeling of love, respect and understanding between the two. According to experts, whether the age difference between the couple is three years or 15 years, it does not matter, but what matters is the relationship between the two. It is said that married life depends on the conduct of both.
