Yes, I do believe in marriage. But you’re right — nowadays we are hearing so many heartbreaking incidents, and honestly, most of the time the root cause lies in how marriages are being forced or arranged without considering the opinions of those actually getting married. Parents often decide everything without asking their children how they feel, and that can lead to unhappy and unhealthy relationships. Marriage should be a choice, not a pressure.
Likewise!
Yes, mentally and emotionally preparing yourself before marriage is really important!
Marriage nowadays are mentally challenging. So much of societal pressure, competition and comparison increasing every other day
I don’t think it’s happening “lately”. It has been happening from ages. Now that both men and women are suffering, we think it’s happening “lately”. I know a bunch of people from our previous generations who are not happy in their marriages but still pretend to. I am not gonna blame any Western media or western thing at all cause from the ancient Indian society where monarchs ruled, certain things like polygamy have been happening. In today’s society, involvement of inlaws, controlling of children’s life, enforcement of choosing a life partner by the parents without knowing the person, all of them results in this. But I think marriage is a beautiful concept if both the partners are in love with each other, respect each other and are independent from family’s pressure. Let’s not blame marriage in the name of people who are bad in marriage. It’s like saying if one doctor does something bad to a patient, then we shouldn’t seek any of the professionals at all. Marriage is personal choice that’s all.
