Whoa! So many questions... I reckon from 21 onwards is the usual time... but mabe it's older than that. I wouldn't be surprised if the average is 30, tbh. As for why, probably because life expectation has shot up so there's no rush; people look younger for longer, cuz of better life-styles and beauty products; and nowadays women want to be proactive in work rather than settling down and marrying.
Why do they not get married? No necessity or compulsion, and many women prefer the single life --although that doesn't mean the majority-- so they don't look to get married. Kids? Marriage is no longer necessary for them to be 'begot' as the old laws and customs are not in force &, indeed, there are loads of single parents who live quite happily without being disrespected or frowned upon. (I'd say, within marriage, when you want to have kids is up to you, probably taking into account your financial status and position in life.)
If that's not enough, our culture has also significantly advanced so that marriage is not something ppl feel they need to pursue. People often have live in partners or '**** buddies' and marriage, for many, has become just a big occasion for celebration that is not so wonderful afterwards; ppl feel it is restrictive and that it ties them down.
However, marriage is not such a bad thing. If it is sustained and treated with respect for what it entails, then it can make for a good foundation for family, and maybe even domestic bliss.

Shotgun Weddings can take place at anytime and age especially as far as golddiggers/groupies and their families are concerned. The more time changes, the more blackmail stays same.

People are delaying it now because of career pursuits.....
Women no longer marry for security, because they have their own incomes & choices.
I think people used to "settle" a long time ago because they didn't feel like they had options.
