We have two graphs which is showing changes in ages of marriage and the age are of first marriage, so in the essay I’m going to choose two countries and write about them, namely the UAE and Kuwait.
The most dramatic feature of the bar graph is the fall in the % of 15-19 years old girls being married from 57% in 1975 to 8% in 1995 in the UAE. This is confirmed by the chart which tells us that in 2000 the average age of marriage for women in the UAE is 23.1 years. This fall in the number of teenage brides is a similar trend in all 6 Arab countries in the bar graph.
The table shows the age of first marriage in all 14 countries was low to mid 20s for women and mid to high twenties for men.
