Fear of family, relatives, being ostracized, people (mostly aunties) gossiping, the thought that now that u have broken ur engagement u won't get a good rishta or ur sisters won't get a good rishta, etc. It's just a sad part of our culture.
i doubt its the general society.i think its our parents n siblings.the way we were brought up n giving same values to our kids.its our own moms telling us every girl has to scarifice n shaadi k baad sub theek ho jata hai.its our sisters saying itna acha rishta milla hai qadar nahi hai.its our dads n big brothers watching things but letting the ladies of the house be in control of the situation.Wats the responsibility of parents in these cases.y they just act as watchers n not doers?i'm in fear now that will i b same as these moms when my daughters grow up coz yes rishta probs will still be there may b even worse.yes i hav also grown listening these arguements"shaadi k baad sub theek ho jata hai. early years r always tough"we all need a reality chk n positive minds coming forward.
