Russia's marriage age increased by 2.5 years since 2021

The average age for Russians entering marriage has significantly increased over the past five years. This trend indicates a shift in societal norms regarding marriage timing. In 2025, the average age for brides is 33.2 years old, and for grooms, it's 35.3 years old. This represents a 2.5-year increase for both genders since 2021, according to the "Registry of Civil Status Acts" portal. Experts attribute this rise to factors like career aspirations, a more considered approach to marriage, and later financial independence. The data covers the period from 2021 to 2025.
