The age at which men get married has changed over the years. Back in Shakespearean times, the average age for a man to marry was 20.6 years, 12 years younger than the average age today, 32.3.
While some countries still see a pattern of men marrying young, others are seeing grooms getting hitched much later in life.
New research by men’s mental health platform Manual has revealed which countries marry the oldest.
Men in Australia were revealed as the oldest grooms, with an average age of 39.3.
Men in India have the youngest newlyweds, with an average marriage age of 26 years.
The UK is one year above the global average, at 33.4 years.
With that being said, many male celebrities from across the globe decided to marry young, including Macaulay Culkin, 19, and David Beckham, 24.
