چکیده:
The timing of marriage and family formation affects the life cycle of the family. Macroeconomic and social structures, individual characteristics, and access to a suitable spouse provide opportunities for accelerating or delaying marriage. The increase in the age of marriage in the contemporary period has also been accompanied by economic, social, and demographic transformations. The present research, using data from the "Survey of Social and Economic Characteristics of Households" conducted by the Statistical Center of Iran in 1380 (2001), examines the effective causes of the timing of marriage for men and women in Iran. More recent marriages occur at older ages. Level of education, especially at higher levels, is correlated with an increase in the age of marriage. Urbanization, women's participation in the workforce, more liberal marriages, greater gender equality, and more distant kinship between spouses have a direct effect on the age of marriage. Ethnicity has had an impact on increasing or decreasing the age of marriage. In multivariate analysis, duration of marriage, level of education, place of residence, kinship with spouse, and ethnicity have maintained their significant effect. These effects can be interpreted in light of economic, social, and demographic changes in society, such as efforts to improve the status of women, transform employment systems, change the proportion of marriage-ready and job-seeking individuals in the population, transform access to a suitable spouse, and changes in norms and values related to marriage and family formation.

These effects can be interpreted in light of economic, social, and demographic changes in society, in terms of efforts to improve the status of women, transform employment systems, change the proportion of individuals ready for marriage and seeking work in the population, transform the level of access to a suitable spouse, and changes in norms and values related to marriage and family formation.
Modernization, by changing the age and gender structure of the population and changing ideas and values related to marriage and family formation, has affected the situation of people ready to marry in terms of the availability of a suitable spouse in different countries, especially developing countries.
Independent variables include age, ethnicity (local and tribal language), place of residence (village, city), literacy status (illiterate, literate), education level, kinship with spouse (close relative, other relatives, and non-relative), how the spouse is chosen (recommendation of parents, recommendation of close relatives, recommendation of other relatives and family friends, recommendation of friends of the individual, and personal choice), employment status (inactive, active), women's attitudes towards gender equality, women's attitudes towards the age of marriage for boys and girls, dichotomous variables related to tribal languages and educational categories (less than high school, high school, associate degree, and other university degrees), women's attitudes towards gender equality, and the duration of marriage are among the most important variables whose relationship with the dependent variable age is measured.
