A Woman’s Silent Struggle: Career Vs Marriage

You know, during this wedding season, it feels so nice to attend weddings. Many people keep gossiping at weddings, and listening to things like ‘ Wow, the bride and groom look so happy together,

They look so good, The girl is getting married into such a good family, She is so lucky, and all that…it feels really nice to hear, right?

But this doesn’t happen in every place or every wedding…

There are many girls who don’t want to get married and instead want to build a career and fulfill their dreams. But because of emotional pressure from their family, they end up getting married – and that too with a smile on their faces.

They have so many dreams in their hearts, but the moment they reach the wedding mandap, it feels like all those dreams just break.

The Hidden Pressure: Family or Career ?

Not every wedding is a fairytale. Many marriages are built on the grave of a girl’s career. And she can’t do anything about it. She can’t even fight against her own family.

There are many women who are strong and positive-minded. They think, ‘So what if I got married? After the wedding, I will set everything aside and still fulfill my dreams….But…but…but

After one year of marriage, she is forced to have a child. Then she thinks, I’ll focus on my career after the baby is born, but out of 10, only 2 girls actually manage to do that.

The rest slowly drift away from their career, busy serving their new family and fulfilling their wishes.

All this used to happen before, and it still happens today….. Even now, the situation hasn’t really changed.

Tell me, this is true, right?

After marriage, women are told to have a child…then to have another one…and another.

The Constant Battle Between Family and Her.

once the children are born, the responsibility of taking care of them also falls on the woman. Then she has to raise them, and when they grow older, their school responsibilities, their studies
everything becomes her duty.

And this is what usually happens after marriage.

Most of the career-ambitious women, who could do anything to achieve their dreams, end up unable to do anything for themselves.

She gives up in front of her family and their demands. Even today, same thing is happening in many households.

And the few girls who have the courage to stand up against their family, to not marry and fight for their dreams – Their family almost breaks ties with them.

The man who marries her and makes her the housewife of his home is one man, and the one who arranges that marriage is also a man, meaning her father… In all this, where is the woman? She is
nowhere to be seen.

Don’t know how much courage those girls must have who fight with their fathers to built their own careers.

And how helpless and patient those girls must be who, for the sake of their fathers, give up their dreams, get ready to marry, and go to become someone else’s shadow.

Have you also seen something like this happening around you. Or have you personally gone through all this?
