Majority of women who marry very young end up divorcing according to a study in western world. I think that is because your brain is not completely developed till your mids 20s. I am from a traditional family and it is very common in our culture to marry young but many women I know say that they regret it and can't divorce because of kids and pressure by the society. That is why I hate when conservative people romantise young marriage. Age is one of the main factor for divorce. I hate when old men in their late 20s or 30s saying that women should marry youg before they hit wall or women at their 30s never ever can marry anymore because men like younger chicks. That is fucked up. Women dont have the privilige to wait while men can wait til their death.
Why do conservative people especially older men romantise young marriage?
I think that the social perception right now, including the fear of missing out, makes people in otherwise happy marriages regret it. Conservatives like young marriage because it gives the people the opportunity to develop with each other, and support each other until they become established. They also see that the longer you go before marriage the higher your partner count gets, and the less satisfied w/ marriage (resulting in divorce). Conservatives also value women's purity and youth over experience they pick up, at least as far as a partner, and would typically want to marry a younger woman. If you're upset because this is unfair, it's also unfair that females get more benefit/ help from society from age 4-80 than men do at any stage of their life since age 4; so, that's not fair either, but we don't complain about it.
A lot of young women don't have a lot of life experience and are trusting when a man tells her lies so he can have sex with her/marry her. I learned that by reading "Woman to Women", free from archive. org. I also learned that too many men only want a woman if she's pretty - another reason for being with a younger woman.
Too many older men want a young woman because they hope she'll be more likely to be easily manipulated and deceived.

Because they're most likely Christians and they value marriage and family.
