Methodological note

The data on the mean age at first marriage are taken from the mean age when single men and women get married. This is calculated as the mean of the distribution of marriages by age.

As of 2012 onwards, marriage statistics include the marriages of people residing in Catalonia which take place in other autonomous communities.
