That's beacuse of ur background yaar. Here Anokhi was getting married few months back. Tbh , 20 is normal for ppl who are from villages. I hope Im not sounding rude, but its true. I mean India me hota hai shaadi at the age of 20, its pretty common.
But yes, Its weird if the guy is 30. But ab pyaar ho jaaye toh yeh sab dikhta hai kya? I mean yeh bhi common hai. 10-12 age gap wala pyaar.
My inlaws were 10 years apart(mom in law was 16) and My parents are 5 years apart(mom was 27).
I was 28 when I got married. I don't like to judge it, but I don't want to accept it as normal either. I liked Anokhi's debate speech where she stood up for herself and really did call out how parents borrow money for beti's bidaai.
I think this mentality now is because I'm Malayalee. Generally, we don't marry off girls until they're done with their education now. There's still people that believe marriage is the end goal and probably educate their girls because it looks more competitive in the marriage market. But whatever the reason, I don't think a girl should enter marriage, if she's not self sufficient enough to be able to leave it if need be.
