However, when these age standards were produced in1971, the goal was to encourage late marriages. Today the average age for marriage is 29.8 for men and 26.5 for women, already nearing or surpassing the standard figures, so there is no need to continue to extol them.
不過民國六十年提出時的目的是鼓勵晚婚，現代男女的平均結婚年齡，男為廿九．八歲，女為廿六．五歲，都已超過此數，也就不必再倡導了。
