Age of women at first marriage
The age at which women most often marry for the first time is examined through detailed analysis of age groups. Statistics use categories from under 18 years to older intervals to understand the current marriage structure. Data cover women who have ever been married and allow comparison of overall historical figures with the situation recorded for 2015‑2017 inclusive

Column comparisons reveal how the age of first marriages changed during 2015‑2017 relative to the overall statistics for all women
