In the wake of globalization, technological advancements, and large-scale social change worldwide, youth attitudes and opinions on marriage have undergone transformations due to the multidimensional development of human society, including educational and economic changes. The phenomenon of delayed marriage has become increasingly prevalent among youth in contemporary Nigeria, posing substantial social, cultural, and economic implications. This pressing issue of social concern affects thousands, if not millions, of individuals. In Nigeria, individuals who experience delayed marriage often face ridicule, mockery and individual stigma from relatives and peers. This study investigated the factors contributing to delayed marriage among youth in Tarauni L.G.A., Kano, Nigeria. It explored socio-economic factors, consequences, perceptions surrounding delayed marriage, and potential strategies to reduce its occurrence in the area.

This research provides valuable insights into the phenomenon of delayed marriage among youth in Tarauni L.G.A., Kano State.
