She was in her graduation when she was forced to choose between marriage and education. The life of a women in a culturally embedded India has not very much changed. Earlier it was at the age of 13, where a girl had to chose family over education and now the bar has raised from 13 to 18.
The creator has made women emotionally bounded unlike man. For example, it becomes easy for female students to sit even in the least interesting class room. The only reason being, she would not wish to hurt the teacher by getting up from the class and moving away. If not mentally present, she may act as an effective learner. But man is not emotionally imbibed the way women is, if not interested then it is a direct no for a man. And so is the condition of a female counterpart in the society in matters of choosing a life partner and education.
A women is forced to choose between her education, career and a life partner. When a concept of marriage arises in a women’s life, society expects her to keep her dreams aside and focus only on the institution of marriage leading a women to provide least contribution to the economy of the country and also depriving her from attaining the sky, which she could afford. An emotionally connected women is forced with taking care of the family, showing the ghost for her career. A career in women’s life, is treated to be a hindrance in building a family.
Post 77 years of Independence and living in twenty first century, not overcoming this myth will deprive women her dreams. It is high time, at least the coming generation understands the necessity of women’s participation in the wellbeing of society and not just inside the four wall of the houses. A woman too in this regard puts maximum efforts in proving how, both family and career and two important aspects of her life are important. Andbalso when her male counterpart can manage both, she too is capable in doing so.
