The bar chart shows the women aged 15 to 19 in Arab countries who are married in percentages, while the table shows the age of first marriage of men and women in 14 countries.
The most spectacular feature of the bar chart is the fall in the UAE. The falls in Kuwait, Libya and Tunisia are also spectacular.
The table shows that the highest age of first marriage of men is in Kuwait 29.6 while the highest age of first marriage of women is in Bahrain 25.6. On the other hand the lowest age of first marriage of men is in Iran 24.4 while the lowest age of first marriage of women is in Oman 20.7. The ages of first marriage of men and women in Turkey, Iraq, Palestinian, Syria and Saudi Arabia are almost the same.
Finally, it is important that in all 6 countries the percentage of 15-19 years old brides has fallen over the past 3-4 decades. And compared with ages, the women get married younger than men.
