Social Issues

Well this is my first experience of writing a blog. Well a thing that is bothering me for days , i thought to write about it. The issue is about the social issues women rather young girls are facing these days, the issue of being pressurized by their parents to get married as soon as they complete their education. I being an MBA student have seen it in my college what to talk about small colleges at small places. The people from metros are also following this culture. I don't know why do their parents don't allow them to grow in their career , and to add to their troubles are grandparents with slangs like Kudi 24 saal ki ho gayi hai iski shaadi kr do, abhi kar lo nhn to problem ho jaegi.They begin the process of arrange marriages where a girl is showed to a guy as if she is a commodity.The parents argue that they will get to know each other after marriage , i ask them in this fast faced life do they actually get time to know each other . I am not trying to advertise the concept of love story but just trying to bring out the fact that don' t they have the right to choose her life life partner. Well according to me the trouble of a girl doesn't end after marriage also ,she is pressurized for a child. I ask a question to the parents why do they spend lakhs of rupees on her education ??, if marriage is the sole aim then give that money to Bride & Groom to enjoy their lives. It is not that i am against the concept of arrange marriages but i have seen young girls suffering because of the marriage at the time where their carrer is important. I want to quote various incidents like two of my friends were given an ultimatum by their parents that if you are not able to clear the MBA entrances we will get you married . If the educated parents in india have this mindset what to say about the uneducated lot. I am really worried about this issue which is prevelant in our society.
