Yesterday my aunt in Egypt told me that I was getting past ‘the marriageable age’ whatever that is! (I have just turned 26). Here in Australia very few of my friends are married and it is quite normal to get married in your mid to late 30’s… but this seems to be different in Egypt. Is there such a thing as a marriageable age in Egypt and is it acceptable for women to get married in their late 30’s? Just wondering how those living in Egypt see this.. i'd hate to think this was true.

That is really sad for girls living in Egypt.. only three weeks ago i decided to end my engagement if i had been living in Egypt and had known about this marriageable age maybe i would have made the wrong decision and married him. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened alot.

Yeah it happens much nowdays that girls late in marriage, and the girl who are married in the age 23 to 25 it is like they got survive, but i will tell u something, the Parents of the daughter ask the proposed man much which exhausted him, and let him change his mind...
the Age of 30 or 35 or even 40 isnt matter cuz most guys nowdays marry when they become 28 to 30 old...

I think that Egyptian women are married sooner because in Egypt you cannot have relationships with a man if you are not married.

But this is the case for any egyptian muslim - whether they live in egypt or not.
Lonely - if you lived in the west it would not be seen as strange that we are not married. Only God knows when we will meet the right man.. it could be when we are 20, 30, 40 or 60! your right the age is not important.

i am still single, it is ok with me.

but what sometimes touched my heart, is feeling you need someone to share you life with in all times , to fight to laugh to go out etc... , to have kids etc... i like kids very much

My words might sound crazy here, but that is my own experience. My elder sister is veiled, she's 28 and has been veiled for 13 whole years! (her choice of course as u can all guess after my ng wel bikini el azra2..ehem asdi el asfar!) Anyways, in the recent yrs, all men that she meets in arranged settings either dislike her bcz of the VEIL-n strict lifestyle!!or she dislikes bcz they don't pray. No at the age of 28 she only seems to attract divorced n widdowed men!!!!!!! All her friends are EXACTLY like her..same same!
Now, my other experience ya LONELY: Two sisters of my relatives married two guys last year. The first couple 37 and 38. The second couple 40 and 44! The two guys are wonderful-mashhaaaallah - n weren't married b4!

actually leila, this is not so anymore. now women can go up to late thrities and be unmarried. but this is not by choice. (most of the time) they simply can't find the right person, or careers as well as stressful social and economic situation. leila where are you in australia? inshallah i'm moving to sydney in a few months, and i'm very worried about being lonely there. it would be really great to get to know some people. please email me at yasminefathy@hotmail.com

AUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH your not past your age ... don't be pressured to get married, because someone said you are. A good age for marriage is the 30's. You should be able to support yourself.

well .. as most of you said ,, stay single is better than getting stucked your whole life to the wrong person ,, I'm 28 guy .. I thought that I'm getting old , and I have no girlfriend and no fiance ,, I found one she was nice and loves me so ,, I told tomy self why not ,, and started to pretendthat I'm in love with her ,, I think lots of you knows the rest of the story as it was discussed here ,, and alhamdolelah now she understands ,, it was very hard time to tell her the truth that I have never been in real love to her ,, now we are real friends .. and I'm not gonna be in hurry again ,, I'm not even concerned now ,, it will happen oneday .. laila ,,, just keep going and never concern our self about what others are saying because you'll never satisfy all the ppl .. just satisfy your self .. wish you the best
