Russians can get married at the age of 0/4, while China can get married at the age of 22. Why is the gap so big?

For China people, marriage is a very sacred and important thing. We in China have always been very cautious about marriage. Only when the time is ripe will two people choose to get married. And we all know that the legal age of marriage in China is relatively late. Men have to be 22 years old and women have to be 20 years old to get married. Maybe we think it's normal to get married at the age of 20, but it's really an eye-opener compared with the marriage age in other countries. Take our "neighbor" Russia as an example. Their legal marriage age is 14, which means Russians can get married on 14.

This is incredible in the eyes of China people, because the age of 14 is described in Chinese, and that is underage! Children can get married before they reach adulthood. Actually, don't be surprised. Many countries in the world marry early. For example, in the United States, South Korea and Russia, it is 18, 14. Only China can get married at the age of 22. Why is the gap so big? Let's take a look together.

In fact, it is mainly for population growth: as we all know, the population of China is the largest in the world at present, approaching 654.38+04 billion. So for us, what we need to do is to control the population and keep it within a reasonable range, otherwise the blind increase of population will bring great pressure to the country. Therefore, delaying the legal age of marriage is also to alleviate the pressure brought by population growth. If we China people can get married at the age of 10, we will have seven or eight generations in 100, and we will be in our twenties.

But Russia is the opposite of us. Russia is the country with the largest territory in the world, but its population is only 65.438+0.4 billion, which is one tenth of that of China. To sum up in a short sentence, it is "a vast territory with few people". So Russian policy encourages people to marry early and have more children. It is understood that the Russian population has been in a state of negative growth, and the population has been delayed. Russia has adjusted the marriage age to 14, which means that eligible Russians can get married at 14, but in fact most Russians get married at the age of 25 or 26. In addition, there are more women than men in Russia, so some girls may not be able to find boyfriends if they want to get married early. It is precisely because there are more women than men that Russia's population is difficult to grow.

Finally, the headmaster summed up that the reason why the legal age of marriage stipulated by the state is so big is mainly for the sake of population growth. In fact, the legal age of marriage stipulated by various countries can reflect the country's population situation to some extent. The earlier the marriage age, the smaller the population, and the later the marriage age, the larger the population.
