What is the right age gap? Scientific perspective and society's perception of age difference in husband-wife relationship!

People ignore many social norms when it comes to love, but when it comes to marriage, things are a little different. In Indian society it is generally believed that the husband should be elder to the wife. But what should actually be the correct age difference between husband and wife?

According to traditional beliefs, a gap of three to five years between husband and wife is considered ideal. Science also supports that this age difference is important for physical and mental maturity. Generally, girls mature sooner than boys, due to which they become ready for physical relations earlier.

In India, the legal age of marriage is 18 years for girls and 21 years for boys. Additionally, it is believed in society that an age difference of three years is acceptable. However, many successful couples are successfully living their lives contrary to this tradition, like Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput, who have an age difference of 15 years.

Marriage is not based only on physical relations; Trust, respect and understanding are also important in this. Therefore, whether the age difference is three years or fifteen, real success lies in a relationship where both partners understand and support each other's maturity and thinking.
