Doha Debates Portal | Marriage on Pause: Progressive or Problematic?

Overview

In recent decades, the average age of marriage has risen by over eight years in many regions, sparking discussions across media platforms. Trends like “me vs. my parents” on TikTok illustrate the stark contrast between today’s singles and their married parents at the same age. This shift reflects modernity, driven by higher education levels, economic opportunities, and evolving social norms. While delaying marriage can lead to financial stability and personal growth, it may also contribute to social isolation, declining fertility rates, and weakened traditional family structures. The Doha Debates Portal will connect young people from Doha, Qatar, with peers in Lagos, Nigeria, to explore the factors behind this trend. Are personal aspirations prioritized, or are societal pressures complicating the formation of lasting family bonds? Does delayed marriage foster maturity and stability, or does it risk partnership altogether?
