New
Delhi, June 26: An increasing number of women across India are keen to
tie the knot before they turn 25, and states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh
and Gujarat top the chart, a survey released here Tuesday has showed.
Conducted
by online matrimonial portal Jeevansathi.com, the survey said Tamil
Nadu had registered the maximum increase of 19 percent in the last two
years followed by Delhi which had witnessed a 14 percent increase - from
32 percent in 2010 to 46 percent in 2012.
"Some
64 percent of girls in Kerala, 54 percent in Gujarat and 53 percent in
Andhra Pradesh got married before they turned 25," said the survey.
"States
like Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh have also witnessed an
increase in the girls opting for early marriages... Almost all states
show more than 10 percent increase," added the survey.
"While
it's a common belief that women today are comfortable with late
marriages, the survey shows that most young ladies wish to get married
before reaching the age of 25. This could be due to various
socio-economic factors and also due to a personal need for
companionship," said Rohit Manghnani, business head at Jeevansathi.com.
