Marriage is not meant for each and every Indian man

Greetings from Bhaveen Sheth, the single Indian man.

I hope everything is well with my readers. Wish you all a very happy dusherra.

Today I want to ask my readers whether the institution of marriage is applicable to each and every Indian man.

I have my own reservations on the same. Everyone cannot become a successful doctor or an engineer. Many people don't have the aptitude to get admission into prestigious institutions of this country. Similarly marriage is not suitable for each and every Indian man that too at a young age.

Marriage is forced upon the Indian man whether he likes it or not.Parents, relatives and the society builds up a strong pressure to get an Indian man married.

Simply stating, some Indian men just don't have the competency to get married. They are not prepared to become a husband or a father and undertake responsibilities that are attached with the respective roles.

But acceptance in the Indian society is less. No one realizes this important fact and no one wants to accept it.

Indian men have many problems. The most common one is settling down on the professional front.Now a days by the time a person is able to find his footing in his career, he is already in his early 30's. Plus there is this expectation that in order to be eligible for marriage, he must have a house in his name. That means that post marriage he has to buy a house with the help of home loans:the ubiquitous albatross that hangs on the neck of all Indian middle class families.

On the personal front many Indian men have still not matured. There have been unresolved issues with their childhood;dysfunctional families, helicopter parenting,disturbed childhoods, sexual abuse by relatives, peer pressure to prove one self in examinations, teenage years filled with difficulties, loneliness and isolation etc. Because of these issues men come with their own emotional baggage.

Indian men also have some dreams and desires.They also want to indulge into the good things that life has to offer:travel, good food, gadgets, dream care, vacations, motorbike. But before thay can have the pleasure of enjoying these things, marriage is forced upon them.

Marriage, family, house, home loans, children and their upbringing makes life just a boring routine. This is where an Indian man wonders that why did he get married in the first place?Some men accept marriage with stoicism while other fight back. They are not able to take responsibilities that come along after marriage.

Ending this blogpost , I clearly state that the institution of marriage is not meant for each and every Indian man. It is now left to an individual person to assess whether he wants to get married or not.
