Marriage a choice not an Obligation

"Don't be a Woman who needs a man, Be a Woman a Man needs"


Marriage is the process by which two people make their relationship public, official, and permanent. It is the joining of two people in a bond that putatively lasts until death, because they love each other. However in India it is not a necessity that the feelings exist prior to the engagement, in many parts it is considered a sin to choose your life partner, of course this condition mainly forbids a girl to do so.



In India as soon as a girl turns the legal age, everyone around her start to think about her marriage. Is getting married the only goal that a girl in this free country can achieve, what if she wants to study further or follow her dreams. There was a time when a girl had no say in the matters concerning her marriage but the parents decided the groom mostly in childhood itself, Although the scenario is not as bad as it was back then, there still exist traces of that belief in some parts of the nation mostly rural.


Every girl dreams of getting married. It’s beautiful, and the feeling of sharing your life with someone is unique. Getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime moment and it is a big deal. But like every event in our lives, right from growing up, learning to walk and finally completing the transition from a child to an adult, there is a time especially reserved for getting ready to take the plunge into matrimony. Being forced or forcing oneself into this life altering phenomena is not at all easy and hence, They deserve to have all the time in the world to arrive at such big a decision.



 So it must be a girls own will to get married not the force of the society because in the current scenario where two out of three adolescent girls of India leaving school and child sex ratio is at an alarming 914 girls per 1,000 boys there is need for well educated and well qualified women in India who can, not only contribute to the society by also make the future generation free from all the cruel practices that prevail in this so called Democracy.

"Marriage should be based on personal choice, not dictated by society or one's parents or anybody else"
