Abstract
Increasing the age of marriage is a problem and a harm that, if left unaddressed, the effective generation must be ignored. Young people are the strategic forces for the country, and if marriage as their instinctive need, which is the basis of their growth and perfection, is not taken into account, depression, reduction of life expectancy and constructive activity will occur in the country. The main purpose of this study is to analyze, explain and interpret the phenomenon of increasing the age of marriage based on the lived experience of single girls and boys. Research data were collected through in-depth interviews with 23 individuals, including 13 girls and 10 boys identified by the snowball method. The research method is based on grounded theory and the information is analyzed using axial coding. According to the data analysis, modernity can be considered as one of the main factors affecting the attitudes of singles, which includes increasing the culture of modernity and urbanization, free sex and .... On the other hand, increasing the culture of the eye and the eye in society, adhering to false customs, has also been effective. In the meantime, family support and irresponsible upbringing based on happiness and well-being play a major role; But it is not possible to ignore the lack of infrastructure to create a minimum living such as housing, income, married dormitory, etc .; The role of the media and changing the standards of marriage and moving towards idealism are other reasons. In the strategy of singles to increase the age of marriage to increase religious beliefs and life skills, as well as the creation of infrastructure by the government with cultural management has a significant place.
