The figures, from the Office of National
Statistics,showed that fewer than two-thirds
of women who reached 35 in 2005 had married
– 665 from every 1,000.
Among those born five years earlier, nearly
three-quarters,745 from every 1,000,
had been married by 35.
About nine out of ten women who were 35
in 1990 had been married at least once.
Regarding the speed of the change:
Robert Whelan of the Civitas civic values
think-tank said: "This is an incredible collapse,
not just because of the extent but because of
the speed."
"If it goes on we will soon see a majority
of women unmarried in their mid-thirties."
