You are so good at writing scenarios. You could literally be a script writer 😆
Jokes aside, your point is spot on.
@bold, what makes you think I'm already not one?

Tbh, it's not your parents fault,pressure is there because with each passing year availability of quantity of decent guys in arrange marriage system cease to exist , when you touch 30 the pool would be too limited for even getting a guy from arrange marriage unless you are lucky.
So better luck with dating
This is unfortunately true. The more you get late in marriage, the lesser options you're left with. If a girl decides to get married after 35+, she would get plethora of offers from divorcees, widows (even with children), or guys who are jobless.
Everything is fine if women are okay with marrying such guys, but most of the time they don't. So it's better for them to marry sooner than later. In my opinion, you're more likely to be happy and compatible with your partner in your married life (especially if it's an arranged marriage), when you marry young rather than old.
Because you get better options to choose from, like guys who are richer, better looking and with better jobs.
Even if you go for love marriage, your dating pool also gets limited as you age.

Ok my turn🙋
I got married on 26th Jan 2021😅
He's 35 I'm 25, never wanted to get married in the first place, family made me understand did few prayers if this is good for me or not, finally said yes.
We too have difference of opinions he believes that girls should be wearing hijaab in front of everyone though I too love wearing my hijaab but I don't agree with him at all, he points out his views in a sensible way and I argue
because he's not ready to understand a simple point that Islam is not that strict, people made it like that. Apart from that everything is fine Alhamdulillah
This is surprising. I never thought you were married. You never wanted to get married but agreed just at the age of 25?
That's too early, and you still didn't get a guy of your age? Well now that you're married, I'd advice you to not compromise or adjust just because he's older and your husband. Don't bow down to him.
If he forces you to do something or bosses you around, throw tantrums, don't talk to him, do any housework and don't allow him in your room. Make him sleep outside!!!
Tell him who's the boss!!!
