I wasn’t talking about Pakistan. I’m in the US and I’ve never seen a 35 yr old man wanting to marry a 22 yr old girl and if they think of doing so, they are sadly turned down. I don’t know what education you’re talking about but even in North America, where professional degrees take a considerable amount of time, most guys and girls are done with their education by 27-28.

You’re talking about a specific segment of population in Pakistan where men are busy getting an education and women are damsels in distress waiting for a good rishta the minute they turn 20. I was referring to the situation primarily in the West where desi guys ARE getting turned down by girls due to age, lack of education, bad character, etc.

The extremes are not the norm, but I’m referring to the general phenomena of older men marrying younger women. That’s what my posts are about. These extremes do fit the general trend though so, while I personally wouldn’t want to marry someone 13 years younger than me, if the people are willing participants what’s your beef?
