Why women are being experienced in asking ‘When will you get married’ repeatedly?

Being a woman, especially an Asian woman is tough. They will probably start hearing about their marriage in their early 20s. Further, their mother pleas a million times when it comes to ‘looking for rishtas’ aka marriage.

It is believed that it doesn’t matter if you are successful or not, getting married should be one of your main priorities. Countless women in India feel pressurised to marry and relate it to their self-worth. Society has proclaimed that women have to get married and carry on a family’s legacy because it’s all part of the culture. Generations of women have followed this principle of getting married early and have avoided their preferences and likes in many ways possible. However, if any women dared to follow their heart and decided to marry later, the overtowering personality of society looked down on these women, enough to make their confidence crumble.

Society’s deep-rooted issues with women’s superiority have been there for centuries. Even if women were successful, they had to get married before it got difficult to produce babies. “Get married quickly, your biological clock is ticking,” is what all women hear when they reach their late 20s. As a result, after some time, dedicate themselves to finding a suitable groom to escape society’s judgemental clutches. They not only feel pressurised but also unknowingly develop wishes to get married. They feel that their self-worth is not measured by themselves or their success but by their marriage.
What is the right time to get married?

If you chose your career over your marriage, chances are that you’ll be forever labeled as a rebel. To escape from this, women restrain themselves and their wishes. But, no matter what, it’s really important to realize that the only right time to get married is when you want to. No pressure, no judgments, but only your decision. Marriage is a lifetime commitment and you should have a say in when or who you marry. Some countless duties and responsibilities can seem suffocating and tiresome. Relentless pressure and crying from parents shouldn’t nudge you to get married as soon as you turn 25 or near your 30s. Parents and relatives fear that with time, men wouldn’t want to marry a woman who isn’t young.
