Weddings and marriage in Germany - statistics & facts
The rate of marriage in Germany has decreased over the last 100 years. This could be due to a number of factors such as the fact that women have become emancipated from men in Germany, gaining rights to vote, own property, and work outside the home without the permission of their husbands. Another aspect to consider is that institution of marriage has been around for so long, for some people, aspects of it feel outdated and incompatible with modern values, and so people are reimagining the traditional wedding day.
