Israelis getting married later — survey
The average marriage age has climbed to 27.6 for men and 25 for women in 2014, Ynet reports, citing a report by the Central Bureau of Statistics.
In 1970, the average age for Israelis tying the knot was 21 for women, 25 for men.
As a result, in 2014, 65% of men and 50% of women ages 25-29 were unmarried, it says.
The figures are released ahead of Tu B’Av, the Jewish/Israeli day of love.
