no doctrine,no law,no constitution,prescribed age for marriage
as long there is love care trust and understanding nothing stops you from marrying each other cool

Yes, I can grin. Most guys I have been involved with have been a least 4-5 years older than me so 5-7 years isn't a big deal to me. I've only dated one guy who was younger than me, but it wasn't by much. I was only a year older than him.

i belive marriage is all about love and trust so age should not be a determining factor rather age is nothing but a number.so to your question yes i can if the love is there.

Re: Can You Marry A Person Older Than You? by ds700(m): 2:06pm On Sep 16, 2010
Let me re-phrase this question,

You said and I quote:


As a guy(Man), can you marry a woman that is older than you?

General Men are meant to be a little bit older than their woman, forget those ladies that will want to acquire all the existing degrees in the modern day Uni. before you know it they are already old.
Re: Can You Marry A Person Older Than You? by Tosinville(m): 2:22pm On Sep 16, 2010

Re: Can You Marry A Person Older Than You? by femility(m): 4:29pm On Sep 16, 2010
Seriously speaking many guys marry older ladies because of their dough(money)but such a relationship dont last.
Re: Can You Marry A Person Older Than You? by Tosinville(m): 4:55pm On Sep 16, 2010
^^^Vic2k3,

On a serious note or you think i'm joking about that? Look, i cherish my mum alot and she must not know i'm even dating an older lady not to talk of planning to marry her, how do u want me to present her to my mom? My mama might faint immediately upon all the whole unmarried young nd single ladies out there na grand-mama i see carry come house? "abeg o! my mileh is too young to go"

Re: Can You Marry A Person Older Than You? by pslm23(f): 5:31pm On Sep 16, 2010
There's nothing wrong with it. My husband is 17 years older than me. We've been married 8 years and the love is still as strong as it was in the begining or even stronger sef!

Our society thinks it's alright for older men to marry younger girls but if an older woman tries it, she will be called "cougar, sugar mummy etc" Here in the USA, it is normal to see "cougars" everywhere with young men on their arm.

People need to get over this double standard. I see nothing wrong with an older woman marrying a younger guy or an older man marrying a younger woman. There's no difference.

Re: Can You Marry A Person Older Than You? by Specialist900(m): 8:11pm On Sep 16, 2010
Nothing is really wrong with a guy marrying a lady older than he is. Its just that it is not common in africa.
