AZ, you are advocating the delay in women getting married. So, imagine a woman who wants to get married at 19. Presumably, she would have a child right away – so lets say 20-21. By asking the woman to wait, you are delaying her having children. And, as women get older, their fertility dips drastically.

I once heard that IVF is most effective until the patient as about 25. After that it can be successful, but gets harder and harder. So the longer women wait to get married, the more time it will take to diagnose fertility issues and thus deal with them.

And by asking men to start dating sooner (even six months), you are asking people who aren’t ready to start dating. So men who aren’t ready for marriage will be pressured into getting married (or at least starting the process).

GAW, what do you call the women?
