While browsing through google, I happened to come across 2 jibes written down by men on delaying marriage or choosing to stay single as they are not able to meet the sky high expectations of the modern Indian women. The same follows below:
Karthik,
Bangalore, India: I'm 31, male,
live in Bangalore with a little above-average salary of 35,000 rupees per month
and am working in a major newspaper. I have been searching for a bride for the
past five years. Every matrimonial website I've been through shows that the
majority of the women expect a man to be in the engineering or a banking
profession with a salary above 50,000 rupees a month. And also in reference to
the person featured in this story, the majority of women present in these
matrimonial websites are above 27. These women are well educated, working in
the IT and non-IT sector, earning a good salary and expect their dream Mr Right
to be better educated and earn more than them. The majority of men with these
features don't marry women of their equal out of fear they lose respect and it
can in the worst case, lead to divorce. I still don't understand why women want
better than themselves, this makes men run away from them and they (woman) lose
a guy.
Pratik,
India/Hungary: I am a
27-year-old male from India, studying in Budapest, Hungary. This situation is
just not limited to girls, but boys also face similar situations. When I turned
26, my parents and other relatives started talking about my marriage. Instead,
I applied for a two-year course in Hungary to study more, but the other reason
was to delay marriage. At the moment I feel like I do not want to go back to
India because they will immediately start insisting that I get married.
However, I do not want to return unless I have a well-paid job with stability
of mind. For my family, 28, would be the limit to get married, I would not get
decent girls and my value in the "market" will go down. I resent
this. Whatever I have achieved, I have done so with my hard work and commitment.
I do not want someone who just wants me in terms of salary, my looks or my
height. Marriage cannot be the ultimate destinations of all human lives. It is
an important part but is it mandatory?
Hahahahhahahahaaha, so much for getting married in the Indian society.
