we say that times have changed,but the truth is nothing has changed,its still the same. the mentality,the myths,the thinking. the only thing that has changed is our lifestyle. we say we are modernised. in what sense though? in technology, fashion, music, food, what else? but the basic thing which remains constant is our way of thinking. how is it relevant in the context of my topic is that even though the marriageable age has been increased,child marriage has been banned, but still the sole purpose of one's life is to find a partner and get married. boys don't get that much pressure about getting married as they get about finding a job, making a carrier and being independent. but what about girls. for 18-21 years or lets say in the so called modern world for 26 years, girls live their life according to their parents. they wear clothes which their parents agree upon, act and behave lady like, study where their parents want and at last marry according to their parents' choice. i am not saying that agreeing with parents is bad or living life according to them is,but when the hell is a girl gonna get a chance to live? boys are never told do this, wear that, or stay inside the house or even marry forcefully to the girl of their parents choice. okay so a girl needs all the protection from her parents at such a tender age. but what about when she is grown up? is every girl today that independent so as to not only make a carrier but dream about being rich on her own terms and not think about marrying a decent guy who'll support her. isn't it true that most girls today still want a guy who'll protect her, feed her and give shelter to her. and aren't most girls afraid to divorce the wrong guy in fear of letting down her parents or most commonly not having any place to go or no money or clothes on their back if they separate. but boys don't have that fear. they are free to dream, think beyond,make a living and treat their wives the way they want to. because they are not afraid and the reason behind that is they have independence, money and of course a loving bound wife with them. so the question is that is the society ever gonna think beyond and let the girls live just for once. are the parents ever going to get over with the fear and let their girl dream for herself not about a guy but about being independent and stand on her own feet rather than depend on some1 else. We are not that modernised and advanced as we want to think. We need to open our minds and give even the girls a chance. My favourite Quotation Maybe fits here,"Live and Let Live!" :)
