Teens marry at higher rate after decade of decline
Census data show married teens 15 to 19 rose almost 50 percent in the 1990s, with 891,000 teens wed in 2000. Median first marriage ages climbed for men to 26.8 and women to 25.1, while the share of teens married remained 4.5 percent in 2000. Immigrant communities from Latin America, Asia and sub Saharan Africa may have boosted the rise. Some couples lived apart for varied reasons, though many may have been living together in dormitories or shelters.
