A few decades ago, many women were married between the age of 15 to 19, in Arab countries. The bar chart shows us the decline in the percentage of women aged 15 to 19 who are married.
The most dramatic features of the bar chart are the falls in the UAE, Kuwait, Libya and Tunisia. The lowest change was in Palestine over 4 decades.
The table chart shows us the age of first marriage in 14 countries. The highest age of marriage is in Kuwait, 29.6 while the lowest is in Iran, 24.4. On the other hand, the highest age of marriage for women is in Bahrain, 25.6 while the lowest is in Oman, 20.7. Iraq, Palestinian Territory and Saudi Arabia are almost the same in the age of marriage for both men and women.
The bar chart shows the percentage of women aged 15-19 who are married has fallen in all 6 Arab countries. The second graph seems to confirm this because in all countries the age of marriage for women was the early twenties, rather than the teens. In all countries men get married at the late age.
