It is very important that the program is carried out in the air and citizens interact with us in real time, expressing their views on the topic under discussion. The topic has sparked interest, the discussion was active, the majority of participants expressed the view that the need to enter into marriage at a later age - after 25 years, but everyone decides for himself.

     In our district of the number of marriages is increasing annually. 12,500 families Kazan have created in the past year and 7.5 thousand families this year. Compared with 2000 the number of marriages increased by almost 2-fold. By age married a tendency to adulthood. Men and women often marry between the ages of 25 to 35 years (55% men and 43% women). At the same time, there is the problem of early marriage - when to get married underage. It should be noted that such marriages recorded quite a bit. Last year, the total of 159 such couples have been registered in the country, which accounted for 0.5% of the total number of marriages. And in Kazan even less - 38 couples last year and 15 pairs this year. The main reason for marriage at such an early age - waiting child. Statistics show that early marriage, unfortunately, in most cases, there is no future - 90% of them end in divorce. Moreover, girls are married at a young age to 10 times more likely than young men. It is obvious that young people mentally, morally and financially not quite ready for a serious responsibility which rests upon them with the introduction of the family. Almost 18 years of a person able to independently provide for their families - and this is another stumbling block, of which no one has broken the family ark. On the other hand, we must admit that there are examples of happy married life, when spouses live peacefully together, learn, build their professional careers, raising children together.
