That's right, the marriage law stipulates it

The determination of the legal age of marriage should take into account natural factors, i.e., the physical development and intellectual maturity of the person, on the one hand, and social factors, i.e., political, economic and demographic development, on the other hand, as well as the situation of foreign countries at the age of marriage. Because the sexual maturity time of men and women is inconsistent, women mature early, and men mature late, just like when women are taller than men in elementary school, and men start to grow taller after junior high school. In most countries in the world, the age of marriage is also two years older than that of men, such as Switzerland, Vietnam, Japan, Romania, Pakistan and the Philippines, etc., so China also combines the actual situation to set 22 years old for men and 20 years old for women, which is the minimum age for legal marriage, which is relatively large compared with other countries in the world, which is determined by combining economic development and population development factors in social factors

On the one hand, it is necessary to consider appropriately raising the legal age of marriage to be conducive to the physical and mental health, work and study of the vast number of young people, as well as family planning work; At the same time, it has also been noted that the legal age of marriage is too high, which does not meet the requirements of the laws of nature, and is also divorced from the masses and the reality of the rural areas. Therefore, it is stipulated that "men shall not be earlier than 22 years of age and women shall not be earlier than 20 years of age".
