Ok! A question:
Ladies: Would you be okay marrying a guy younger than you in age? If yes, then how much younger? Up to what age gap would you be okay?
Men: Would you be okay marrying a girl older than you in age? If yes, then how much older? Up to what age gap would you be okay?
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
Age is just a number. If there is compatibility and understanding, these things don't matter theoretically :D
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
Nope.
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
our family friend married a guy 5 years younger than her and they are happily married for over 13 years and still gong strong. Mashallah. They have two adorable boys...
In my opinion age is just a number
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
nope I wouldnt .. I feel 2-4 years age gap is just about fine from a woman's perspective ..
Marrying a younger guy? no way.. they take years to get mature anyway !
If both are same age , I feel thats ok too ..
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
If you single out age as a criteria factor,then I personally have dealt with marriage proposals that came from younger men in which they were either several months, to a year or so younger than me (nothing to extreme) but I felt it was ackward as I always imagined my man to be older than me, they had established careers so they were mature in the responsibility aspect, I didn't feel maturity was a factor in not following through it just didn't feel right. I feel like guys do not care they seem to be dismissive regarding age of the lady and kind of just shrug it off I feel girls have a tendency to care more to have an older guy.

Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
My dad is 1 year younger than my mom, and they've been married for 30+ years. I've never heard my mom or dad say anything negative about the fact that he's technically younger than her.
Personally, I never considered age as a major factor when looking for a life partner. The guy being totally finished with his education and having a stable career was how I determined if he was "old enough" for me. I would not have rejected a guy ONLY b/c he was born before me.
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
I am ok with my lover being 2.5 months older then me... insha Allah she would be my wife ;)
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
Not just the age gap, it depends on the actual age too.. a 21 year old girl marrying a 19 year old guy is different from a 31 year old gal marrying a 29 yr old guy (if maturity is the factor).
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
age difference between a man and a woman can be greater than the age difference between a woman and a man. woman age faster and their fertility period is limited. so, a 35 year old woman has a maximum of 15 year fertility period left to her while a man age doesn't matter.

True and this is the reason why people focus so much on age in marriages
Re: Marrying someone younger/older…
Honestly, there is never really an age restriction. if you want guidelines, you could always ask your mom for what her threshold may be for resenting you.

Yar koi larki humy bhi to mily hum abhi single Hain
Re: Marrying someone younger/older…
I would have loved to be a kooger 
sadly I got a dude that is just right:jano:
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
Think it depends on the people in love...
personally i wanted a man that was older than me...max was 5 years... i got lucky with one thats a year older :p
(Butttt he is more mature than i am...and i really have the bachpana ...so mashallah sey we r quite balanced on that point :D)
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
I think it all depends on compatibility and how much the couple are in love or like each other , I am 20 and my fiance is 27.
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
I always thought i would never marry or even consider anyone younger, but most of the recent proposals i got are from younger guys. I do not object any more on any thing, let alone his age, as i have really become a burden on my parents and on my own life. it any more.
Re: Marrying someone younger/older...
boy n girl shud b mentally mature enough to get married.. i personally think... age doesntt matter
Re: Marrying someone younger/older…
i dont have any problem with age factor, koi bhi age chalay gi… (even tho women older then man is not good for men health ) but still would go for any age as far as we have good understanding, which is VERY important in any good and solid relationship.
