Good day friends. I want to speak my view on marriage pressures faced by young women of our time. First of all i will define what i think marriage pressures are.
What is marriage pressures:
Marriage pressures is a situation where by a young adult lady or young woman is being pressured to get married as soon as possible either by parents, age, friends, colleagues, boyfriends and so on.
If you notice what is going on around us this days, you will find out that women at ages of 21 to 30years old are being pressured hotly on marriage. Most of the time its the parents of the girl forcing her to get married or she is getting too old to not have a husband, or all her friends around her are married except her and so on. This is not the way things should be. In Universities/colleges, girls even get married before graduation. I have so many friends who are eager to climb an alter and say yes to any man that comes their way as long as they are seen as married women. This is very very bad. Women of this ages no longer focus on achieving their set out goals and objectives but rather they put out their focus on the man that would come and marry them.
If you go on social media like Facebook and Instagram and even Twitter, you will find girls who are even begging men to come and marry them, most of them go as far as paying these men to act as husbands to them just so they can post their marriage pictures on social media and show their friends. Girls of these ages has even taken marriage to be a competition. They compete with their friends on who will get married first, can you just imagine how far this marriage issue has gone.
I was in an argument with a friend of mine, the topic of this argument was, "if a wealthy man comes to marry you and ask you to drop out of college, will you marry him and drop out?" She actually chose to get married immediately and i went against that. I told her that is it not better you achieve your goal first before you get married? I asked her a very stricking question that got her thinking twice. I asked her that, "what if that wealthy man becomes poor tomorrow, don't you think your education will help you feed your family??" To be sincere, any man that comes to marry me and refuses me to finish school first i wont marry him. I will chase him away from me as far as possible. This is how young ladies should act. Achieve your goals first before you get married because marriage stops a woman from achieving alot the moment you go into it. I hope I am speaking the mind of ladies in this platform and teaching those who are ignorant of this to chose the path of their lives wisely. Thank you all.
Nice article.. I am almost 23 years old and doing my MBBS course complete... I also want to marry after graduation. It is a blessing from the Almighty that i dont have family pressure to get marry.
