[Deborah-W25783]

In the United States we don’t ‘have’ to be married before 30. We are modern Americans like everyone else. In general, though, Latinos are very family oriented. So many young Latinos just want to start their own families and carry on family traditions. Besides, I’ve seen plenty of people from other ethnic origins who marry young, too. In Latin America, where customs remain more traditional and there is widespread poverty, many young women marry for socioeconomic reasons. If they marry a nice young man from a ‘good’ family, their financial future and that of their children is set. Plus, Latin Americans don’t necessarily have the privilege of putting off marriage, parenthood, and other social customs until a later age to ‘find themselves.’ That seems to be unique to industrialized countries.
