Can a boy marry a girl who is older than him?

Answer 1

Well, I did. If both the boy and girl are old enough to legally marry, there is no reason why they cannot. My wife is 5 years older than I am. We think it should work out OK- we have been married for 45 years.

Answer 2

In some countries marrying your first cousin is illegal. You should check your local statutes on this matter. There is also good biological evidence why this should be discouraged.

Answer 3

Sure as long as both are over 18. For centuries people have married younger/older people.
