女性依然难以逆袭印度容不下剩女

你看我的文章也许会觉得我反对婚姻，其实不然。我喜欢结婚这种想法，我相信婚姻制度，我渴望有一天嫁给对的人。问题就出在这——“对的人”。我今年28岁了，理想的情景是我已经结婚多年了。按照印度本地的标准，我已经是剩女了，很可能处在适婚女子金字塔的最底层；不过我并不认同“找个一起过日子的人算了”这种观点。所有的人都提醒我，我应该做出妥协，降低期望。只要对方长相得体、工作体面、家庭背景不错就行了，我不该发什么牢骚。我可不这么看，也许身边的每个人都跟我说他和我是天生一对，但我觉得做决定的人是我自己。

I don't see it that way. Everyone around me may tell me a man is perfect for me, but I feel it's me who gets to decide.He might be earning a lot, might belong to the best of families and might be a nice person, but if I don't find him compatible to talk to or to be with, I can't picture being married to him. I don't subscribe to the idea of striking a compromise right at the advent of my married life. The adjustments and compromises should be made in the marriage, not while finding the person you want to be with.There is a stigma associated with a woman who is single. When a woman says she is single by choice, it's more or less assumed that she is not respectable.There have been many occasions when I have tried to rent an apartment in a good locality and been refused. People don't like to rent apartments to single, professional women. They are afraid that someone like me will behave immorally - have loud parties, have men to stay overnight, be a bad influence on the surrounding families. No-one can imagine that I might be an ordinary person with a perfect social life and a normal, healthy lifestyle.Property owners are always looking for a chance to evict us. The slightest of errors and we are asked to leave. We can't live a normal lifestyle. There are rules and regulations for everything. And if by any chance it happens that a male friend comes to drop you home one day, you're immediately branded a prostitute.
