Hello everyone, I am again here with a new subject. Well, it is not a new subject for all of you maybe. But, since it is my first time to write about this topic, so it is a new subject to me in that perspective.

Now, all of you can see the topic and the meaning behind it. So, you may think what it is that made me write about it. All I want is to share my personal views and feelings, like what it means in my perspective, in my point of view. I am not going to add any statistics or data regarding this.

So let's get back to the topic.

What is the most common threat that an Indian young woman of a middle class family, with many superstitious beliefs, get? Come on! It's very easy. And I think even the girls of 7 or 8 years may know answer. So... What is it?

(THREATS WITH ANGER)

'We are going to get you married! The early, the best... Both for you and for us...'

'Girls of your age should get married early as possible in order to get a suitable husband.'

(EMOTIONAL THREATS)

'Look, my dear... The profile of this man really matches yours... At least try to meet him...'

'My daughter... All I want is your happiness and nothing else... And he is a good guy... He will make you happy for the rest of your life...'

(THREATS FROM RELATIVES)

'Do you know, I have a very good guy in my mind for you! See... This is him... Isn't he perfect for you?... Like- Rab ne bana di jodi... '

Some of you may think that how are these appear as threat. All of the statements are just something that a parent/s wish for our own good.

But, take some time and think about the position, situation and condition in which the girl is at that time!

What if, the girl or the young woman wants to pursue her dreams and goals? What if, she wants to be a teacher, or a business woman? What if, she wants to be an engineer or a doctor, or an entrepreneur? Or, what if she just wants to be single in her whole life?

There are many 'what ifs' in the road that a girl or a young woman wants to walk. Not just she wants to face her problems and difficult situations by herself, she also wants to find all her solutions by herself too. She wants to be someone who can guide others in the right path, too. This list of mine is very limited, that is only according to me, but in reality it is infinite, beyond the boundary, beyond any boundary.

Some of you may think is there reason for me to write this? Well, the reason is quite simple and yet sometimes heartbreaking, too. Why? Because I am in the same situation as the many other middle class young women in their twenties. I get to hear all these crappie threats too. This is a same problem, and yet very different from others.

That's all for this time...

THANKS ALOT FOR ALL THE PATIENCE...
