也许他收入高,来自上层的家庭,人也很好,可如果我和他谈不来或合不来,我就无法想象自己会嫁给他。我不认同结婚之前就做出妥协的看法,找对象这件事容不得妥协,调整和妥协应该在结婚以后。在印度,单身女人和耻辱联系在一起,一个女人如果说自己选择单身,或多或少,人们会认为她不是个值得尊敬的女人。有很多次,我想在一个风气好的居住区租一套公寓,都遭到了拒绝。人们不喜欢把公寓租给单身的职业女性。他们害怕像我这样的人会做出伤风败德的事——举办吵闹的聚会,留男人过夜,给周边有家室的邻居带来坏影响。没有人能想象我也许是个社交生活正常、生活方式健康的普通人。业主总是在寻找机会赶我们出门,稍有不慎,就叫我们走人。我们无法过上正常的生活,凡事都有条条框框。一旦有一天有男性朋友送你回公寓,你马上就会被贴上“妓女”的标签。基本上可以说,一个单身女人若不和家人住在一起,而是独自一人生活,人们就会认为她道德沦丧。
Essentially, if a single woman lives an independent life, away from her family it's assumed she may have loose morals.The more I keep living this life, the less chance there is of finding a good husband from a well-respected family. At times I wonder whether I should just give in and marry the next guy who is more or less suitable, in order to spare my parents.I am lucky that my family is extremely supportive. My parents stand by me when it comes to waiting for the right guy to come along, but they too face extreme pressure from relatives and everyone in their circle. "When is Suruchi getting married?" They get asked this question every day, and it makes them anxious. They begin to wonder if they are doing the wrong thing by letting their daughter make her own choices. They worry about my well-being. They are not sure that Indian society will allow me to live happily if I remain single.There were cases where people told my parents that educating their daughter and letting her become an independent person had been a grave mistake. Now their daughter has high expectations and getting her married has become so difficult! I can't thank my parents enough for shouldering that burden. They are a great support but I keep wondering what to do to make it easier for them. I am much less worried about myself. I know that being with the wrong man would be far worse than being by myself.As long as I remain in this society, the pressure will only keep increasing. To be honest, I have thought about moving abroad if I end up being single for another year or so.Going away from society's prying eyes is the only way to be left alone and allowed to live a peaceful life. People won't question my marriage plans if I am in a foreign country. Surprisingly, Indians then become quite open-minded. Everything is OK if you're living abroad.At the end, it's not easy being single at 28. It's a struggle I face 24/7. I have decided to live with it.
