I've seen the EXACT OPPOSITE. I'm 52 and everyone I know that married young is still going strong. The ones that 'settled' in their 30s and immediately popped out kids with almost no time as married couple first--imploded midlife.
Love marriages vs "My time is running out, this one will do'.
The smugness at being a child bride is hilarious. Great job.

Because there is no better time to find a spouse than college. It plummets once you enter working world and you have to grapple with OLD.

Glorified by Hollywood.

Anyone over 18 is not a child bride. And certainly not over 21

Could be but doubtful. Divorce rate is 50% plus. But for rich people -- as this thread covers -- divorce rate is less than 20%. The two doctors that marry in med school do not tend to divorce -- some will but vast majority will not. Same for law school.
As to the original question -- yes that is what I am seeing -- rich kids are getting married in their early 20s and it does seem more than in the past. I agree with PP that there always have been college sweethearts that got engaged but now it is expanding at least from what I have seen. Why? Not sure. Could be they looked at their older parents and decided that was the way to go. Could be because they have no student loans, high income potential right away, will get help from parents possibly on both sides to buy house and for other things.
Whether it is good or not others can judge. I am not one who thinks you wait if you have the right person. Trick is making sure right person.
Maybe because there is literally no good reason to wait? Who the heck wants to "play the field" and date random weirdos for another 8 to 10 years off dating apps. For what? It's a pointless waste of time and puts them behind the eight ball in wealth building (co-own house, retirement, look stable and mature to bosses) and you're a thousand times less likely to need ivf to have children.

The richest family I know has a daughter who is a senior in college and already married and the college sophomore daughter is getting married over the summer. They aren’t super religious IMO but they do go to church. I support young people getting married but dang, that’s early! Lol.
I think this must be trending on social media or something? Many are getting engaged their senior year to set up a quick wedding. Rep. Sean Duffy and Rachel Duffy's daughter was engaged during college and married right after. I think she's only 21 because she graduated from UChicago in three years instead of four.
I went to Chicago and it has a weirdly high quotient of couples who got together at college and married. I knew a few, not EVERYONE but more than random.
I think it was a bragging point in one of their recruitment materials at one time.
