Gen should be elder than girl that is our old culture. I think that is good and best for all. Nowadays we are not following that.

Friends I have got many answers from all of you. Thanks to all. Kindly answer me one more question. Why parents don't allow such marriages in which groom is much elder than bride?

Much older means that he is like an uncle/ father and not supposed to be fit as husband. I have seen one person who never takes his wife any where with him as he is asked whether the accompanying woman is his daughter.

Many years ago, I was at Tezpur. An officer came there with tow young girls. I believed they were his daughters. When his family was gone, I asked him about his wife. He said that the elder girl was his wife. What is the fun in marrying a girl who looks like a daughter or a woman who would look like mom.

Naturally parents will not permit such marriage. One funny incident is about Charles Shobh Raj in Nepal prison. Being in sixteen, he is interested in marrying a girl whose mother is also younger than him. Nepal politicians intervened and he could not marry the girl who was of age of his daughter.

I think Sobhraj did marry a very young Nepalese Girl sometime back while in Jail, may be he has moved down to someone even younger now lol...but again if the girl is willing , why ever not ?
Funnily enough I have seen that some of the most successful and happy marriages have been between older women and younger men.I think it has to do with the mental attitude of the couple, a certain maturity in thinking..

Age gap is a serious matter.In old days age gap was very normal.But now a days girls did not want to marry a person who is just double of her age.It seems that they are marrying an uncle not a husband.
