Getting Married

Couple of days back, i've had a chat with my egyptian friend and he asked
me about something that he observed for quite sometimes. (well, i noticed
it actually)
the question was " why do malaysian married at such a young age?"
well, during the japanese occupation on malaya in the 50's, people married
at an early age to save the girl.
nowadays,the same reason couldn't be applied.
i can't really answer such question, although i do think about getting
married and having your son waiting for your after work. hmmm...my time
haven't come yet i guest...
i asked him again, what is the average age for egyptian...he told me its
about 27 yrs old for male and 24 yrs old for ladies...
