'If your daughter has a certain preference, it is always best to keep that in mind while looking for alliances,' advises rediffGURU Ravi Mittal.
Age can be an important factor in a marriage.
What is the ideal age difference between couples?
Does marrying someone older/younger make a difference in the relationship?
Should parents encourage their children to consider alliances that do not fit their preferences?
'Marriage is a big decision and the person getting married should be allowed to have the ultimate say,' says rediffGURU Ravi Mittal, CEO of online dating website Quack Quack and Rebounce, a matrimony platform.

P: My daughter, who is 28+, feels that she should marry a boy of the same age or, at the most, someone three years older.
Does it make any difference if she marries a person who is five years senior to her?
If your daughter has a certain preference, it is always best to keep that in mind while looking for alliances.
It is possible that she thinks that a man close to her age will understand her better than a man five years older.
If you push her to settle for someone with whom she is not entirely comfortable, it might later cause conflicts in the relationship.
Marriage is a big decision and the person getting married should be allowed to have the ultimate say.
I hope this helps.
