What is the best age difference between husband and wife?

Question: When I was 20 years old, I went to Guangdong and worked in a joint venture. I met a 56-year-old engineer (divorced) during my work. He gave me meticulous care. We fell in love for a year and decided to get married. When my father found out, he strongly opposed it. He said: "The future son-in-law is several years older than me, and others will laugh at our family." Mother said, "You are 36 years apart. What will you do when he gets old? " I think the problem of marriage between men and women mainly depends on whether the two sides have feelings, and the age can be crossed. I would like to ask: does the law stipulate that men and women can't get married because of the big age difference?

Regarding the age of marriage for men and women, Article 6 of China's Marriage Law stipulates: "The age of marriage for men shall not be earlier than 22 years old, and that for women shall not be earlier than 20 years old". Where the marriage law of ethnic autonomous areas has any modification or supplementary provisions, it shall be handled according to the modification or supplementary provisions. In addition, there are no other provisions on the age of marriage for men and women in laws or regulations. It can be seen from these regulations that the law only stipulates the minimum age for men and women to get married, but does not stipulate the minimum (maximum) age gap for men and women to get married. We can say that marriage law is not prohibited for men and women with great differences in age. As long as both parties are completely voluntary and meet other provisions of the Marriage Law, they can get married.

However, we should also see that marriage is a legal and natural combination of men and women on the basis of love, and the marriage relationship produced by this combination is based on the physiological differences and sexual instincts of men and women. When choosing a marriage partner, you really should consider the differences in age, cultural background and values.
