I used to laugh at such kind of post , that Pakistani people are a bit nosy about other peoples private matters. Our aunties and uncles are always asking"shadi kub karani hai" and i get into a long argument "shadi kerni hai kerani nhn hai lolx"...but thats their traditional way .......aunties inquiring bout khush khabri . everyone nosing into every single affairs .......but i have not given it a bit of a thought.
But me as a male , 26th year old and my parents are after me that i marry instantly . They have been asking me to marry since i graduate, first they are merely start mentioning , then insisting and now forcing , always pointing out potential partners. they are parents and its their job to think about their kids .
But what i am most amazed and mad about is the behaviour of the society . everyone inquires about you . apparently the quote of jane austin modified by me a bit is very right
"It is a truth universally acknowledged in pakistan, that a single man in possession of a good job, must be in want of a wife."
It is very strange , the neighbors are inquiring your mother that why you dont marry at the age of 26 , your aunties are most worried and telling your mother"ab to ho jani chahiya shadi etc" . and apparently all every family member was interested in is your marriage . even the far flung relatives inquire about your marriage .
the married friends look at you pityingly as though your parents are doing injustice with you by not marrying you instantly , they don't grasp the idea that maybe you not ready to be married yet........
what they fail to grasp is that one marries when one wanted to, and its none of their business . if they are married it is not their duty to get everyone married .
i don't discouraged early marriages but everyone has their own mind , most of my friends are married instantly as soon as they graduate from colleges . but one can also choose to marry later in life . its not the end after all .
i can totally imagine what scenario it is for girls if this happens in the society with guys.
it is totally different thing if your parents worry about your marriage but the society , relative have no business but none follow this formula . apparently it is every body business in pakistan .....
