Sensitive & sensible post.
Parents of girls at marriage age or older should not feel pressurized
at all to marry their
daughters for society sake.

As I am 37 and living out of my home country almost 14 yrs ,
I see the people here don't mind about being single or married.
All that matters is being happy and do what bring happiness to them.
Being a mother of 12 yr old daughter, I always say to my daughter
women should
be mentally, physically, emotionally,financially strong and then
they can choose their right life partners.
So absolutely girls should be more independent
to make their own decisions.
And parents should be a strong support system in whatever
they do.

It depends on your parents, their thinking n the influences from surroundings. Some relatives live to say "get married". I have one like that who I simply ignore. As long as you are educated & implementing it. As long as your family supports you its not a pressure you should know how to give back. I give back to my relatives who try to advise my parents crap. I know many women who are 40 years old but are still unmarried by CHOICE. If you are taught to listen to elders blindly then marriage whether men or women is always on the cards. Education is not the only point its even choice of thought. Society/Ur Life.

Just don't make a bad compromise. People become alone when they don't want to share or make room for others in their lives and not because of being unmarried. One of my spinster aunts, after her retirement from job, deliberately and consciously laid her bed in the common room so that she can be with people. Because of being there she became the centre of the house and everyone's life too. Moral of the story, because she decided to share herself and her time with others, she was never alone. 😛

Marriage is good but not the be all and end all of everything in life.

In the past, this could be the only priority. Back then, womens are only to live in the house and look after the family but times have changed. Womens are independent these days with good job and salary that they are able to support themselves and their dependents.

But we live in a society that is always more keen in what is happening in other family than their own. If a women is yet to marry once her age crosses 25 years old, that's the first world issue. She has to have a problem and that is why she is yet to get married. Basically all this pressure falls on the family of the women. Just to shut the mouth of others, they want to get their daughter married fast. At the end of the day, was the marriage for the women or the society? If the women has any problem, is the same society going to help her?

At the same time, any parents would want to see their childrens happily married with a family on their own. I've cousins who are 35 years old and yet to be married. But any functions we go, everyone keeps asking about her wedding. Only if the society don't question and learn to accept it, there would be no pressure nor needing to get married to prove them wrong. Marriage for some may be a boon and for some, they are better off without getting married. In my opinion, this is subjective and changes from the women itself, her family and the society. If i were to answer the question, it would be a NO.

Very sensitive topic. As an individual it should totally be upon you to when yo get married. Problem is with society we live in most of men no matter how old they are (some exceptions) wants youngest possible bride. As a parent every one wants their children to be married see them have a family in their life time. It's become common practice especially in our Asian culture the more a girl turns older the more pressure comes from society .

I hope I am not hurting anyone's sentiment. My eldest sister has very best friend she is a dentist not married 32 now. I think both my sister and her had different ideas my sister got married At 21 by 32 she had 4 kids happily married where as after college her friend went to America . Now after so many years her friend regrets not being married she gets so sad after seeing my sisters kids. She always think she should have given time to herself.

Moral is at some point if time in life u will feel lonely a partner will be a support system. Girls getting married is not that bad but finding a right partner is pure luck.
