Average Czech man today gets married eight years later than in 1989

The average Czech man gets married for the first time at the age of 32, eight years later than at the time of the Velvet Revolution, Novinky.cz reported, quoting a study from the Czech Statistics Office. For women the average age of first marriage is 30, seven years later than in 1989, the news site said. The study suggests that if present trends continue only around half of Czech men will get hitched before they reach 50. While two-thirds of Czechs were married at 25 at the start of the 1990s, today most are unwed when they reach a quarter century.
