THE CHANCES OF MARRIAGE.

The minimum age at which marriage
is permitted varies in different coun-
tries. In Spain, Switzerland. Hungary,
and Greece a boy may marry at four
teen, a girl at twelve years of age.
In Austria the age is fourteen for both
sexes. In France. Belgium and Ger
many the age is eighteen for a youth
and fifteen for a girl though the rule
in Germany is modified by the special
law in SaXony, where girls are required
to be at least sixteen before marriage.
The minimum in Russia is eighteen for
the youth and sixteen for the girl.
Though the manageable age is fixed
so low, astonishingly few couples mar
ry under eighteen years of age.
