Why is the marriage age being delayed in India?

According to The Tribune, the average age of marriage in India has risen from 27 to 29 over the past decade. This change shows that many people are now choosing to "get on their feet" rather than marry at an early age.
The authors of the study explain this situation by the increased demand for financial stability, career, and personal training. At the same time, the share of people wishing to remarry has also increased: it is said that the indicator, which was 11 percent ten years ago, will reach 16 percent by 2025.
For context, it is noted that the main share of marriages in Uzbekistan falls on the age range of 20-30 years: for men, the age group of 20-30 years was 78.7%. For women, the age group of 20-30 years is 53.5%. The conclusion is one: in some countries, the marriage age is slowly moving towards "late," while in our country the main wave is still around 20-30 - therefore, trends need to be monitored, because these numbers will later affect the market, housing, and even labor policy.
