We humans are social person we make families, friends and live in communities. The social life is one important part of our lives. With time we get old and that is natural phenomena. We always heard that age growing age people get matured and have more experience about the life. When we talked about choosing a life partner or start our relationship the age factor is what play a important role along with other factors in my opinion. When we were kids we mostly play with the kids of our own age. This is because a same age kids has many similarities among them and they understands each other well. In similar ways when we get old we make new friends and mostly they are of more or less of our own age only. Its very are that someone has a friend which is 10 - 20 year older them him. You can look around you and you will find that what I am saying is true or not.
In India form were I belongs, the legal marriage age (minimum) is currently 18 years for women and 21 years for men. Here you can see the minimum gap between the male and female is 3 years and age of male is more then female age. If I talked about my self then their is gap of six years in my age and my wife's age and of course I am elder among us. In Indian culture I found mostly the males ate elder then female when it comes to marriage. Of course some exceptions are always their. So is their any logic behind the same?
I guess the one major reason is - Because society thinks, if a woman is elder she would dominate the household. Here the society play a major role, What the other will think always comes into mind and that create a mental pressure on male (its is unknowingly also) and they prefer a female which is of less age then their own age. In our culture the bride must be younger than the groom. If any girl of age more then 30 want to marry then the first questions ask will be why so late? Is their any issue with her in past. If she is unmarried and attain the age of 30 then people start questioning about the character of he, which is not good in my opinion. But this is the realty of our society.
Other then society their are some scientific reason also.
In my opinion when we talked about the maturity then the man take time to get matured and women get matured early. This is also one reason that the age of women for making a relationship is less the the man. Scientifically girls attains the puberty at the age of 12-14 boys at the age of 14-16. Even the puberty comes early in girl but the men's fertility will last longer when we compare with the fertility of women. Fertile factor also be scientific reason for same. A man can be fertile even up to a age of 60 also so a man of 60 years age can become a father of a child. In case of women after a age of 40 year of age they are not much fertile to deliver a baby. In between the age of 45-50 their Menopause usually stops. So if a man married a women with age more then his their may be a chance that their may be complications when they will start the family planning. This will be always be a question - she still be fertile when you'll want to have kids?
One physiological factor of faster aging also come into picture is such cases. The girl will age faster them the boy in such case and their might be chances that the boy will leave the girl for some other younger women
In my opinion the age difference does not matter if it is in between the gap of 5 to 7 years. But if the gap is more then 7 to 10 years then their may be complications in family planning, which is very essential part of marriage in our culture.
