question: What is the average age overall to get married in south africa?
short_answers: 30.5

Answer: In South Africa, the average age to get married is 30.5 years old (29 years old for women and 32 years old for men). Because the age distribution of people at first marriage is skewed with a longer tail towards older ages, the majority of people marry before the average age of first marriage. The median age is a more precise representation of when the majority of people marry; for most reporting sources, however, only the average age at marriage is reported.
