When Ukrainian Women get married?
Ukrainian girls usually get married between the age of
21-25 years old. Girls finish
school at the age of 17-18 and study at university for 4-5 years, so after they
graduate they are ready to start their family or concentrate on their carrier. Most
of the women prefer family.
If Ukrainian Woman is not married
yet at the age of 25, she starts to get nervous, because there are more and more
beautiful young girls and
competition is very high. Another problem that women are
worried about is their so-called biological clock. It's time to have a child and
if wait too long it can be difficult for a woman
