I must say though, I think when some individuals get married (world over) they do so as a 'must-do' thing...like they have to tick off something on their list. Sadly, again, world-over, there is a weird stigma attached to unmarried individuals. I have a coupel of colleagues in their 40 who are unmarried (women) and are great at their job but when I mentioned this to my friends (again, women) they automatically assume something is wrong! What if someone is just happy being independent and single?

It is easier to depend on others and allow them to take the blame for their plight too. It is a sad state of affairs and only women themselves can change it by having some sense of self worth.zephyrhttp://cybernag.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168376355457288703.post-25971426003774411812011-11-09T21:31:51.639+05:302011-11-09T21:31:51.639+05:30@Nisha -welcome here !

I don't understand how two people can live under one roof just because they want a particular need to be satisfied. <br /><br />Maybe people who've been through rough patches lose all their hope in relationships and look at it practically.I don't like so much practicality though!Nishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818499080695379994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168376355457288703.post-2913876928977404112011-11-07T17:48:45.406+05:302011-11-07T17:48:45.406+05:30@theerailivedin: I hope so too .. that since late ...@theerailivedin: I hope so too .. that since late marriages and Live ins are now acceptable women will start taking a good hard look at the reasons they want to get married !<br />@Bikram: hmm ..

But since some positive change in the mindset is beginning to happen, we can only hope such ridiculous reasons on which women base their marriages will also change sooner or later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168376355457288703.post-64372257184572067122011-11-04T11:49:49.324+05:302011-11-04T11:49:49.324+05:30@ IHM - I fully agree remarriages and Live Ins for...@ IHM - I fully agree remarriages and Live Ins for the elderly are a fantastic idea and they will work towards creating a more open minded society. But what I can’t accept is the reason for them – its archaic and ridiculous – society is not going to change for the better unless women take it upon themselves to become more independent and not look towards marriage for security!Tall Girl in Japan https://www.blogger.com/profile/14397227521970178132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168376355457288703.post-54585812402901037362011-11-04T10:50:12.560+05:302011-11-04T10:50:12.560+05:30Live in relationships for those who are 50 and mor...Live in relationships for those who are 50 and more, even for financial and 'being looked after' reasons (though I found it disappointing too)are a good idea I think. Eventually these things are going to change our society for better, the elderly will not remain as controlling if they have a life of their own, and the age and marital status limit for getting married will eventually disappear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
