Late marriage is a factor that has both advantages and disadvantages. Although some people prefer to get married in their late life and some people do not have an opportunity to get married at a suitable age, both of them would face the consequences of late marriage. Contrary to what is known, late marriage does not just include either disadvantages or advantages.
It combines both of them into people’s life. Nowadays, both men and women prefer late marriage because they want economic empowerment in their life. Also, if these people study in universities or for master’s or Ph.D., their marriage age would be late.
On the other hand, career targets make people delay their marriages even if they have a partner in their life. When they delay their marriage age, they may face advantages, such as time for personal growth, education and career opportunities,
good mental health, and disadvantages, such as birth rate, disagreement between spouses, and the risk of HIV. This paper aims to comprehend and explain the fundamental reasons why people delay their marriages briefly,
the advantages of late marriage, and the disadvantages of late marriage. In addition to these, another aim is to specify whether the advantages predominate or disadvantages. In the research method part, we review the literature about late marriage and the advantages and disadvantages of late marriage, and then we try to determine the idea of whether late marriage is good or not in the discussion part.
