Re: Why are girls so obsessed with marriage?
What matters now is what WE think…sure. Absolutely.
But what exactly are you thinking has happened here? The previous generations are still alive and kicking and that mentality is still going strong and will for a while. You cannot just wish it away. It will go…but with time and education.
My daughters will never believe they need anyone else to survive in this world. If I have a girl, she will be independent and I will make sure of it.
My parents never held us back from doing anything. My dad has always told us “meri larkiyan larkon se kam nahin hein”. He has unbelievable faith in us and our abilities. My mother just worries about us being alone because she came from a world where a woman NEEDS a man. That’s what they were taught so naturally in their eyes being a good parent = making sure your daughter has a good man next to her.
