“You Are 26, You Ought To Be Married” – Should Girls Be Forced For It?

2 Mins read
Marriage-“the name itself sends chills down the spine”, because I am a girl and hell man I am 21. How on earth am i supposed to stay in peace when I am 21. As “the age is coming”and i should concoct myself else all the good guys will be missed out. Marriage in India is just like a vegetable market wherein once the vegetables are mature,they are quickly brought to the marked for selling it else it will putrescent and no customer will buy it.It is a race where no girl is to be left behind.

Marriage isn’t about numbers like 21,26 or even 30. It’s about the time when you are ready, as it is a responsibility. It postulates the beginning of a beautiful journey. But our society has made it a merchandise.

“A Study suggests you should at least be 26 to be prepared for marriage”

The pressure to bring off the social expectations often causes one to preoccupy over marriage, rather than allowing it to happen in its natural course of time. While there is nothing wrong with a girl wanting to prioritize her marital pursuits over her professional goals and ambitions, we need to stop denouncing those who do not. Sheryl Sandberg hhmm… who is she? She is the COO of Facebook, being the first woman to serve Facebook’s board.And why is she mentioned here, that’s because in workplaces around the world women help more but benefit less from it. In keeping with deeply held gender stereotype we expect men to be ambitious and result-oriented, and women to be nurturing and communal. When a man offers to help, we shower him with praise and rewards. But when a woman helps, we feel less indebted. She’s communal, right? She wants to be a team player. The reverse is also true. When a woman declines to help a colleague, people like her less and her career suffers. But when a man says no, he faces no backlash. A man who doesn’t help is “busy”; a woman is “selfish.” In a country like India girls are married and are given the responsibility of the entire family how will they progress in such a situation.

All that we have seen is great examples of girls doing great things but then only 10 in crowd are supported by their families rest are married before they can do anything. They have a family to handle and a husband to take care of.
Why cant girls get equal right like all other men”. Its the buzz of the country. But when it comes to forcing girls for marriage all the theories and all the meep vanishes. Even after 69 years of India’s independence India needs to give Independence to the girls living here. In my opinion marriage is just a part of life and not the only motto of it. Girls who wants to pursue their career should be given opportunity for it rather than forcing, pressurizing or even emotionally blackmailing them for it.
