Did anyone see Barkha Dutt's Modern Marriage episode on NDTV??
Its available here: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/topic/384586
If you havent .. she is basically discussing how marriage works in this day & age ... and her guests were Shobha De, Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar, and a few others who I cant recall nowπ³
Its a full discussion on Marriage!!
The CEO of Shaadi.com was also there. Successful, good-looking, rich, and famous guy! But he hasnt married yet. And of course Barkha's question to him was "Why are you not married?"
And Karan Johar brought up the point that Marriage is an institution that is available to all but all people dont necessarily go for it. Which is true, i guess.
But I am Indian girl ... 21 years old ... and my mom being the traditional Indian Punjabi Woman ... has started talking about marriage ... "learn to cook cuz u'll need it" ... "learn to compromise cuz u'll be the one who will need to do it .. men never do it" ... "dont talk too loud" .. and the biggest one "stop spending money like crazy cuz women shud know how to save money"
And after watching this NDTV episode ... a few questions are running through my mind! and I was wondering if all married men & women .. or even singles on this forum cud answer them for me and tell me what they think???
Is marriage an identity or a status??
Do we HAVE to get married? (especially in the Indian community)
If we have to .. what is a good age .. if there is one?
If I was a guy would rules be different for me? Is it just because I am a girl my mom is forcing me to get married or at least forcing me to get prepared for it??
If I do get married .. will I be the only one compromising?? Are men really that stubborn??
... hope u can all present ur views ... i wud really like to know wat others think about this.
Note to Mods: if this has been discussed before .. feel free to lock/trashπ³
