SO i have come across many girls have happened to be unmarried and are past the age. They have elderly parent or parents and for them taking care of the parent has become "the" job. Perhaps that gives more meaning to their lives. They accompany the parent everywhere, specially to the doctor ofice and assume all responsibility of care and decision making, which often interferes in proper care. i dunno how can these be rehabilitated.
In my opinion, these girls come from families who didnt do so well monetarily and then became bread winners for entire households. At some point, they became "of age" and rishtas started coming but they were providers so it wasnt so easy to drop what they were doing, get married and leave their parents. So, they stay. They take care of their parents. They do the right thing and life slips by.
Then, we have people like Iconoclaust who make them seem like the enemy. Unmarried girls who try to feel important by purposefully walking away from marriage to take care of their parents. These unmarried girls, who do they think they are?
You know what bugs me?
Men who shy away from girls/families where there are a few more responsibilities contribute to the problem.
I think If boys stop being an a$$, and consider marrying a girl who is few year older then them, We would not have that issue any more. But our society always look for just-out-of-hatchery-ready-to-breed-chicks. I think a girl who had seen other/tough side of the life can make much batter wife/mother etc.. etc..
Excellent.
