Age of marriage

The bar chart and the table give us some information about the age of marriage. The bar chart shows us the decline in the percentage of women aged 15 to 19 who are married in some Arab countries. The table shows us the age of first marriage between men and women in 14 countries.
The bar chart shows that in all 6 countries the percentage of 15-19 years old brides has fallen over the past 3-4 decades. The bar chart shows that the percent has declined dramatically in UAE from 57% to 8%. The falls in Libya and Kuwait are also striking. But the fall in Palestine did not change dramatically.

The table shows that in all countries the age of first marriage in men is between med twenties to late twenties. On the other hand, for the women is between early twenties to med twenties.

In conclusion the age of marriage is changing dramatically in Arab countries. Women get married in their early twenties. On the other hand men get married in their late twenties.
