Its getting trendy in Britain for women to marry younger men

More and more British women are marrying younger men than ever before as per the Office for National Statistics.

In 1963, when most couples married in their 20s and cohabitation rates were low, 15% of brides were older than their grooms. But by 1998, when more women followed a career first and wed later, 26% chose a husband younger than themselves.

More than a quarter of these older women married a partner at least six years younger. There were about 18,700 such marriages in 1998, compared with 10,500 in 1963.

There were also more "sugar daddy" marriages - women marrying men at least six years older - which had increased from 21% of weddings in 1963, to 25% in 1998.
