Most of the 90’s kids can also relate to this. Our parents got married at a comparatively younger age. They were busy with us at that age in which we’re still struggling with our education and career.
Today, I’m going to discuss certain major reasons why women get married at a later age now and what are the cons of that.
If we look into the research studies and trends changing over time, we would find out that although men haven’t much changed about their preferred age to get married women certainly had.
Now women also prefer career and education over marriage. They seek autonomy! which is one of the reasons why women tend to get married in middle adulthood rather than teenage or young adulthood.
But there are certain other reasons too.
We judge daughters based on their physical features.
A very close friend of mine is currently suffering from depression as her parents didn’t allow her to continue her studies because according to them, graduation is enough for girls!
Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a good height which is an obstacle in her way to get a proposal. Now the girl is dependent on her parents as she’s not allowed to study or work. All she has to do with her life is to wait for a good proposal. And the worst part is that she’s not the only one! We’re all surrounded by such stories.
But majorly now as women prefer getting married after gaining a good exposure to life in their late-twenties to mid-thirties and due to decreased life span of a human, we can’t say that our mothers will be able to see their grandchildren and so do we.
My parents made me get married right when I turned 18, but as things didn’t turn out very well I decided to get Khula and it took me a year to convince my parents for this that I may not get married any time before at least seven to eight years again.
My mother had certain dreams. When I was newly-wed she used to tell me with sparkling eyes how excited she is to have a grandchild as soon as possible but sometimes things don’t go the way we planned. She also used to be depressed but she has finally accepted the fact that she won’t be able to play with her grandchildren from my side. I wish I could do something alas I can’t.
But you definitely can!
So if you’re deciding to delay your marriage and your fate doesn’t have to do anything with that, then you should give it another thought. There are certain cons such as we all know that women start to lose their fertility with age. Also If you get married in middle adulthood, your children will get young when you’re in your 50s or 60s.
You’ll only be by your daughter’s side during her postnatal period only if you were lucky enough to survive!
Who knows if you’ll even see your grand-child?!
But if the delay is on fate, don’t be depressed! God has plans for you.
For every male, there’s a female and vice versa. You’ll find your better half sooner or later, just pray to find the right one!
