Muniya -- I agree. The assumption that we have to compartmentalize our lives and can't do the whole career and family thing is unfair. Marriage is not a roadblock.
My aunt categorically refused to marry until she was 33 odd, probably older.
She was a sucessful business woman, a strong lady and never in her life had to depend on anybody including her parents and excluding mine..for anything.
She is a role model for any girl, and has now in her wisdom found someone she is happy with. So screw society, such cultural rules and regulations are there to be ignored by thse who have the conviction and personality to do so.
Good luck.
^ Thanx babes 
hmmm sometimes its good to look at more then one perspective ... not just what you want to see.
but Im sure you'll be fine...
And sometimes what is right for YOU may not be correct for other poeple, i.e some poeple may hate to be married while they study.
It doesn't work for everyone and vice versa.
^wohi tho main keh rahee hoon..
not to stress the matter.... it'll happen when the time is right for her.. not when she turns 30 or 23...
we look like we are flooding 
btw loveeeeeeeee your avatar...
now we're flooding, going to shut up now
You look so cute I may stalk you into other threads

just a question.. why did you delay getting married so long?
[/QUOTE]
Muniya, jin logon ki late shadiyaan hoteen haen, zaroori nai k they WANTED to get married late yaar
see, i dono abt guys, but as far as girls r concerned, i have some examples in front of my own eyes of girls who r now in their thirties, who wanted to get married when they were young, but b/c of halaat [maybe some family problems or personal probs etc] they cudnt
so for ppl to assume that IF a girl is in her 30's n not married then she must be one of those girls who put her career before family, i think thats unfair, coz thats not always the case...
sweetpie i think everyone has already said what i would have said...i dont think u shud worry abt this issue at all...Allah knows best what His plans r for each of us...so enjoy ur present and make the most of life and things will happen when its the right time
Irem, I agree with you 100%. :k:
Career isn’t necessarily the only reason why people end up getting married late. This is sometimes an assumption made by others.
Side point: I don’t think that some of you realise how cruel people can be with their gossip and rumours about unmarried girls in their late 20s, early 30s.
poeple are generally vicious and cruel, Idon't think you can allow that to dictate how you choose to live your life.
Mehnaz you’re right…
i know its impossible almost but i reckon the key is not to let what others say affect u coz ppl will always say mean things…sometimes they will even say it with good intentions and u’ll think they r being mean…and sometimes even if they r sympathising u might not want pity…
self confidence is important i guess…may Alah bless all of us with lots of it… :k:
