We live in a world where technological advancements are taking place every now and then. Competition among industries is high and in order to make a living one needs to educate oneself accordingly in order to better fit in the techno-world.

Now where we see that higher education is the need of the hour, we also come across some of its pitfalls. One of them is ‘Delayed Marriages’.

For a person to be fully independent it takes several years, first to get a higher education, then find a respectable job, and finally become financially stable. Sometimes in order to achieve all that, the best age for marriage passes and then it becomes extremely difficult to find a suitable match or Rishta.

Now at this point of his/her career, as a person, you are not obviously in your peak physical condition, and you won’t be considered as the 1st choice of most families looking for a match for their 28-30-year-old bride or a groom.

For some parents, age may not be an issue but for most parents who are looking for a girl, anything age above 26 is just too much

Social standards

 Not forgetting the standards of the society we live in getting overage without marriage is unfortunately considered a taboo. Girls/boys feel stressed and their parents feel pressurized by the society.

Now where the world is progressing so fast and all types of advancements are taking place in the realm of science and technology. We as a society should also advance and bring also a change in our thinking patterns. We need to broaden our vision and should accept the changes that are brought about in the society.

In short, it is demanded from not only the society but the factors affecting society like media, to generate a ray of totally revolutionized cognition where overage for marriage is not considered a taboo and where such people are given more importance and are taken as more matured and are taken as fairly preferable for marriage if not more.
