A few days back, I was reading an article in newspaper about young girls who prefer to marry in their early twenties. The survey stated views from both graduate and undergraduate girls and also pointed out that 47% of Delhi girls prefer to marry before they turn 25. The article also states that live-in is still a taboo word.
The views presented by girls are so biased. They have endless reasons; rather different reasons to get married in their twenties. Some says that their families do not allow them to stay in a relationship. The parents either want their daughters to end-up the relationship or marry them. Parent’s freak-out when they get to know that their daughters are seeing someone, while, they live away.
Some of the girls in survey stated that they wish to marry early because they wish to have babies on right time; soul reason is to get back into their shape. They say that they don’t wish to live as a fat-stereotypical-woman-cum-housewife for their whole life. In my judgment this I believe is the most cynical reason these girls could give. Dear Girls, your blood-sucking thought of getting an early marriage and some early-babies, just to get back into your sexiest shape will take away your chance to be successful, independent women. If you’re so much willing to maintain your shape then you should exercise, exercise-dedicatedly, make changed to your diet and try to focus on making your life healthier!!!
In another study it has been observed that girls aspire to marry a rich guy so that she won’t need to change her lifestyle and could continue to live her life in luxuries manner. These girls also agree to settle down in an arrange marriage and would not hesitate to ask her parents to find a match who can manage her expenses. My dear, you talk like those 50’s parents.
They want to look the sexiest lady on their wedding day. No questions on that, everybody, including myself wants that. But, I still think this is another pathetic excuse. Everyone can look young with exercise!!! Why marry for that? Another thing which is much important here is that what is the benefit of marrying a guy only because he thinks you look nice and pretty? One need to find if he actually finds you beautiful or he is get married only because of your ‘gym-and-plastic surgery made assets’?
They want to spend their youth with their husband’s. Now, this is pointless. If he thinks that you are beautiful, he’ll find you beautiful for your whole life. You really don’t need to look young every time, neither you can do that all the time.
One of the views also says that a girl who is in her late 20’s looks old and now nobody wants to marry her. Point 1, you are no one to judge. Point 2, life is not only about getting married in your so called “early twenties”. Point 3, get a life!!
Another view says that “career to banta rahega”(they think that they can work on their career later). This view of yours is again making you dependent. Also, it is making you an orthodox thinker. Tell me after getting married and having babies and getting back into you desired shape will you be having so much of time to dedicate it to your career? It seems that you will become another lady who is well- educated, but haven’t done anything for her-self except settling into a high-profile marriage.
My view is not that one should not marry so early. It’s just that at least you shouldn’t give pathetic reasons or better say excuses of marrying someone.
I guess, you have more liberty to do better thing for society and for others when you are unmarried. An unmarried woman and has less responsibilities than a married one. Tell me, what have you given back to the society and the world? Tell me how much have you done for you families? Tell me how much have YOU worked for your dreams??
