Some sane advice finally, otherwise we will end up like the goreh in the West where they don't marry until they are in their late thirties (and half these marriages end up in divorce), in traditional Hindu families this would never happen and people are married off at the right age.
If we go with the current trend of marrying in late 20's then we will end up like the goras, they have a serious demographic problem on their hands which they don't know how to confront because they have gotten so used to the mantra of "pro choice" "freedom to choose" etc.
Does anyone know the current median age for marriage in India, the one's on shaadi type sites seem to be approaching their 30's but in rural areas I suspect it's much younger.

Don't know what it was in 2001.
