Well, the title says it all. I want to know what was the average age for men, as well as the average age for women, to get married was during World War II or at least during the early 1940's? I'm not out for sources, but any you could provide would be great! Thanks.

Are you just looking for the US? I found a nice chart that gives the estimated median age at first marriage. Looks like it's around 23-24 for men & 20-21 for women.
