^Okay, so what point are you trying to make? That women don’t need to get married if they are financially independent and successful? So material security compensates for a desire for emotional security? Not necessarily.

Only if they find value in marriage, it is a want and not a need here. I had lunch with my best friend last week and she has absolutely no desire to marry, she enjoys her independence. I have raised my children to be not dependent. They have all the lifeskills. Marriage should be for love and companionship, not for roti salan or shelter/protection. I have seen many women’s lives improve dramatically after divorcing the abusive, oppressive husband.
