Girl is blamed for everything in our mahaan Indian society nowadays. If not married, it is her fault, dowry issues her fault, domestic violence her fault or bad luck, husband having affair is also her fault (she did not keep him satisfied so he went astray you know!), divorce is her fault, childlessness is her fault (nobody even wants to think that problem could be from boy's side), not bearing a male child is her fault, kids turning out bad or having any deformities, disabilities are all her fault...
Rape, eve teasing, molestation, sexual harrassment are girl's fault.

Till date many associate girls with luck and blame ill luck or evil eye on girls.

Saddest part is that more often than not it is a woman who is found blaming and fault finding other girls!

I told on this forum once that a lady obstetrician slapped women if they made too much noise during labour, saying it was all natural and they should not make too much "tamasha" of it. What more proof of insensitivity towards females can be there?

Kahin nahi chhodte. Mauka chahiye ladki ko dosh dene ka!🤢

I too didn't want to get married, my mother was with me till she can oppose my father and finally she gave up and asked me to marry, luckily I found a nice person who was studying with me proposed me and I said yes. Sigh of relief for everyone in the family😆

My husband still says that to me though that you never wanted to marry me just because of your father you married me but we are good together, I have only one child and we three are happy.

happy to hear that paljay...
but my story is little different...i always wanted to get married in my early teenage days 😛 😆...and i always wanted to be a home maker...
but after joining my job i was actually very happy in my life!...so i was just confused if that was the right time for marraige...i thought it will only create complexity in my life...but i never thought that i will never marry! 😆 see, i couldn't imagine my life without marrying someone!...so i listened to my mom...her reasons were very much convincing too...
well, i am not against marriage...but i support single people too...i feel marriage is too important in our society..sometimes more than studies...more than being depandant...we can not imagine living without marrying someone...and in BV too...the way saanchi & vivek got married it made me think that why marraige? why not something else?...but BV has always shown this "get married and be happy"...now i think its time to show something different!...

Those customs were invented to organise society (because human race was just evolving and doing more than just being animals) and of course to further clans, groups organised on basis of religion.

There was permission to practise Brahmacharya for lifetime. Some writings by Swami Vivekananda mention it. There are examples of philosophers and scholars like Gargi and Shankaracharya who did not marry.

I think one should marry when one feels inclined to get married herself/himself and not due to pressure from others. And unmarried people should not be looked at with pity or suspicion. That's all.


In ancient India - marriage was union of two souls - they were not rigid and were not materialistic. I agree - marriages were not forced and people can follow brahmacharya for life. However grihastha dharma was also as important and I read somewhere about how vidhushi Bharti defeated Shankaracharya in shashtrarth because she asked questions about grihastha dharma for which Shankaracharya cannot give satisfactory answers.

Like Esha posted - marriage is a beautiful institution - but like other beautiful things - it should be left to the concerned persons to discover the beauty of this institution. When it is forced - as in many instances of BV - the beauty gets lost - at least for some time till the person is in a state to admire it.

@SPuja
I am not negating importance of grihasta ashrama at all. I just gave examples of brahmacharya being allowed and not looked down upon too. In fact I believe certain features of Indian society in past were way more progressive, tolerant and inclusive than rigidity in vogue today.
There's no need to force marriage or paint single characters as poor souls the way BV did before introducing new mates for Anandi, Jagya and later Sanchi. I would have liked it better if they had themselves felt need or desire for a partner in life instead of being cajoled, bullied or pressurised.

Ok, so I need to RANT OUT now...I was really enjoying & appreciating the whole Sanchi fighting for justice track UNTILL they decided to go their same ol' ghisa pita marriage way >.< ! I mean WTH CVs STOP! Just STOP glorifying 'Byaah' as a solution to ALL the problems of life & especially when you are dealing with a sensitive track of RAPE! I was thoroughly disgusted! When did they give the girl to slowly build up her life again with her family's support? Make a name for herself & stand on her own two feet & ACHIEVE something in life? But no, all she'll achieve is a Sak Shaat Pati Parmeshwar who is poor duplicate version of Shiv! 🤢 Now her only goal in life to become an Ideal Bahu to a Criminal family, bear a few dozen kids for them cos 'ek aurat ka shareer otherwise kisi kaam ka nahin na' 🤢 That's all that they can show! For God's sake Marriage is NOT the be & end of all! I'm not against marriage but all the social conditioning attached to it makes me sick! Specially that horrid 'Kanyaa Daan' ritual 🤢

@TM, awesome posted

The BV is the fictional drama serials there are lots of different in reality , In real life is not the same Situation whatever the shown in the BV the BV makers showing every woman's characters in the show get a ideal husband ,so understanding , loveable , caring , everything is so perfect in real life its would be never possible most of the time may be some of lucky peoples got ideal , so understanding life partner ..Real Life is very different from these shows. Maximum Woman have always been suffering especially in indian .In the Indian peoples mindset about on girls , woman never be change .But we are all should to give the importance on our studies , education is most powerful system to fight to others and make our life more strong & successful .I personally believe in married is one of the most beautiful thing in ours life but i give the more importance on own self identity .

As a girl I would want to make my successful career first then i will think others .I am student so my first duties all my Concentration should give only on my study
Concentration on some valuable work is very important in all sphere of life.

I believe that human beings around the globe are good, kind, and generous souls who will go to great extremes to help others in need.We should not do injustice to anyone.How I wish I have some powers so that I could clean this filth that is spread all over this country and stop at least 60% people from committing crimes like taking bribes and abetting black money.If we are able to control these three we are there in a welfare society..But thought like this are futile dreams ..I stay here all dumb ,blind with broken limbs...Or I would change those minds who are selfish and sell the country with its people and stock... Unfortunately in Indian politics, we don't have change makers instead only pattern followers. This is because their only intention in joining politics is to make quick money through corrupt methods unconcerned with the country and countrymen. Again, unfortunately, the young generation is not realizing how much their shyness and disinterest in Indian politics is ruining the country because the corrupt lot continue to reign in power, as a result the poor remain poor and the rich grow richer in collusion with politicians.

Marriage is a great thing to happen but its not more importance than your ownself identity

@Mona a very thought provoking post. And you are right marriage is not everything but unfortunately BV though claiming to be a social issue show also has to cater to masses. Masses who understand only one thing that is marriage is important for woman.
But if you ask me, it is not so. I have got educated and have a career for my own identity and have carved a niche for myself. There is one thought that I might end up as lonely maid as have not got married and people wonder why so. For me marriage is companionship and friendship and day I get one will get married, but not ultimate goal.

I so wish that serials show other side of women also who are brave, courageous, and strong to fight the world and yet single. How they cope up in life. How they have other hobbies to keep them occupied. How there are other choices available like adoption, and so many others

Being single is my choice and am happy about it, though am not against marriage. I wish they show that there are women who are single by choice but yet happy and contented with their decision. Need not be always the majboori for them.

For once show women empowerment in real terms. They showed that for Anandi when she became a sarpanch, but unfortunately now she is only immersed in kitchen politics and dont really see any progress in her growth or development.
