Why did millions of women never get married in19th century Britain?

/kloc-there was a spectacular scene in Britain in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, that is, millions of women never got married. There are actually three main reasons for this situation.

The first reason is that in the19th century, the proportion of men and women in Britain was too large. In that century, for some reasons, the population of Britain was more male than female, and according to the results of popular science survey, there were 500,000 more British women than men in 185 1 year, and in the prime of life, the ratio of male to female was also very different, which is the source of women's unmarried.

The second reason is colonization. Before the start of the First World War, there were actually many colonies in Britain, so we couldn't just ignore them and find local people to explore, so many local men basically went directly to other places. The immigrant men were basically under 40 years old, and the poor were relatively few. Most of them were middle class, probably doing business or working as civil servants, which directly led to a more uncoordinated ratio between men and women in Britain, which also led to.

The third reason is that family background is not suitable. When a girl wants to get married, she will definitely find someone who loves herself or has a lot of money at home. However, in Britain at that time, because most of the men who are suitable for marriage went to other places, only the older ones were left, even the younger ones, so in fact, the women who never got married were basically middle class. They are beautiful at first, but when the money is almost saved, they will go up, so men of the same age will definitely look down on her. Moreover, in the process of growing up, women are actually constantly picking men. Those men with good conditions must disdain these middle classes, so there are so many unmarried women, which can only be said to be caused by policies and other reasons at that time.
