The predominant religion of the Amhara for centuries has been Christianity, with the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church playing a central role in the culture of the country. Census numbers indicate 81.5% of the Amhara are Ethiopian Orthodox, 18.1% are Muslim and 0.1% are Protestant. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church maintains close links with the Egyptian Coptic Church. Among older and traditional generations, marriages are often arranged with men marrying in their late teens or early twenties. Traditionally, girls were married as young as 14, but in modern times, the minimum age was raised to 18. With the emergence of the Internet and the availability of reasonably priced computers, Amhara singles have begun to change traditional dating practices. Rather than relying on family to arrange a marriage, Amhara singles have turned to the Internet and sites, such as AfricanLove.com, to find a compatible partner.
