Why is marriage considered something as defining factor for both genders past mid 20's?
So, I know that me including a lot of people are single despite late 20's or early 30's. But why is the society, parents and friends amd everyone think that being a married person mind you I have herad folks comment you get married come and sit at my house, then also I don't care, but don't stay single. So why is this affiliated to something as respect in society? Like we have accepted all kinds of job now.. have we not? Are we yet to reach maturity as a society? Asking this genuinely cuz there are multiple posts that keep saying they lost life cuz they have not found partner st 23, 26, 28, 29 etc etc... and parents keep pushing for marriage from age of 23 or 24... have we labeled marriage as a standard for life? Even now with all the progress that we have made?
