Oh my God. This is total BS. Nearly all of my cousins are pretty educated and go married in their young 30’s and same goes with my mother’s generation. My mom was 33 when she had me and 39 when she had my sister. It is common in some families to marry much later after completing an education, and my family has always stood firm on that not caring whether it means little or no rishtas coming for you.
In fact, nearly all the girls married pretty solid and good guys from sensible backgrounds, even though they waited so long. Only one turned out to be such a douchebag, and he just couldn’t deal with the fact his wife worked like a dog when he didn’t.
Terrible mentality. I am 27 now (officially, yay!!!) and I’m 3 years away from being dumped in the category you’ve conveniently created.
How offensive.
