Qualifed but Unmarried
In last 3-4 years I have been in Bangalore, I have come across atleast 6-7 families where there are qualified unmarried girls in age group of 28-35.
In some cases, the women are well employed, looking for a partner, in some cases they aren't even looking. In 2 cases they are qualified, unemployed and looking to get married.
My worry is with the new age jobs, this phenomenon will only continue to rise. Most of the girls dont seem to understand their parents perspective who worry greatly about them.
We generally discuss governance issues, but this is important social issues. Could we discuss how this important social issues have a solution?
Please consider this as a request for discussion from a 65 year old who is seeing a big concern the way our society is going. Companionship is very important in later years and the bond of a good marriage greatly helps in later years after 60. more

Qualified girls get higher salaries, as they are sincere in their interviews and there are fewer girls in high paying fields. Boys fail interviews as they over commit their achievements, and also end up getting lower salaries. The salary disparity between unmarried boys and girls is the reason. Why girls get paid lower salary after marriage, but men after marriage get paid higher than women is because men have higher responsibilities after marriage. If this paradox is understood in a 'as is where is ' basis, then it will be smoother for families to support the marriageable boys and girls. more

This is not a new trend. Even in earlier periods, say, 50 or 100 years ago many girls & boys used to remain unmarried either willingly or being circumstantial scapegoats, without adversely affecting our societies. Unjustified ambitions and idleness on the parents' part to find out suitable brides/grooms at the proper age are responsible for majority of such cases. However, the purpose of raising the issue in this forum is not clear. Does the author intend the Local Circle to introduce another circle only to discuss at large on this issue and even if it is done, how it is going to help the parents of such over aged unmarried children ? more

Former actress Raageshwari Loomba states that the current societal and legal situation is pro divorce and anti marriage. It is harmful for both - men and women. One needs to make marriage laws pro marriage and also empower both men (through a ministry for men) and women (through education). https://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/former-actress-raageshwari-loomba-roots-for-a-national-commission-for-men/articleshow/61410578.cms? more
