Hey everyone!

In my perspective, marriage shouldn't be considered as a social trap at all. Marriage is a pious and saintly bond between two individuals.

On a macro level, it seems marriage is a burden. But the root cause of such awful thinking is a lack of understanding and trust in each other. The main pillars of any relationship is trust, respect, and understanding for each other.

Another cause of increasing failed marriages is the lustfulness amongst youth. Everyone is looking for extra-marital affairs in order to satiate their physical hunger. And this is true even for love marriages! The so-called love vanishes when lust comes into the picture.

However the same doesn't apply in the case of arranged marriages. In arranged marriages, if the choice of girl/boy is not fulfilled, then it sows the seeds of discord right from the beginning of marriage and they start to dislike each other and create animosity among them.

Last but not least, my point is that everyone needs moral support in life and everyone needs and deserves a life partner. Marriage is a very sanctimonious relationship. However, if the marriage is not working cordially, it's better to separate from each other.

Hello everyone,

Getting married or not is totally a personal decision, if two persons wants to spend their rest of life together and want to get tied in a bond in front of the society then marriage is a great option. Also because of different situations in life one gets diverted and take wrong decisions for e.g. due to a dispute a person starts thinking of breaking up with that person, however this is a decision of running away from a situation, marriage is a bond that reminds the person of the responsibility they have towards each other specially in the difficult situations in life.

Also marriage keeps a person focused and not get involved with any other person due to distractions like money, sex, physical beauty etc. a marriage also creates a legal relationship in front of the government and helps persons being together will being together with someone.

Still, to marry or not is totally a personal decision and one should only marry when he/she is sure of accepting the person and spending rest of their life together. And in case they come to realise that situations become worse and there in no sense in being together, then they can go always go for a divorce too.

There are two groups of people in this world. The person belonging to the first one decides to stay independent for most of their lives or throughout their lives. The second group consists of four types of people, one who consciously decide to spend the rest of their life with the person they love and they live happily throughout their life, another one who marries his/her loved one but their relationship start to become sour because of misunderstandings and then they break up, another person is forced by the society or their family to marry an unknown person and asked to adjust or compromise if things don't go right, the fourth person is lucky to have an arrange marriage with a person whom they start liking later on after spending considerable amount of time together.

In my opinion, marriage is not a trap but rather a choice. No other person should decide with whom you should spend the rest of your life. One should not crumble under society's or family's pressure or else he or she might regret it for the rest of the life or have to undergo pains of filing a divorce. If marriage is a trap, it would take a very stupid person to go near it.

I think as all said marriage is not a social trap I totally agree with it. According to me marriage is the greatest feeling in your life. It gives you a life partner who always with you at every point of time. You have someone who understand you. You share your problem with him/her. After marriage your family will enhanced. You faced many challenges in daily life which is useful to live your life happily. I learn many things like social responsibility.

It will be a trap if you don't know the meaning of marriage it is lovely relation. Women have the same rights like mane. But same man does not understand that. They think women are nothing. Every should have there ego, ego is good but there are two types of ego positive and negative. Always have positive ego. Some people does not give respect to women. This is not good.

A another point I like to add in this discussion that child marriage is a social trap. In ruler areas child marriage is done. Which is very bad thing. Marriage is a relation of feelings and responsibility and if you are not that much mature to take that responsibility how you survive in society they destroy two life.

Late Marriage vs Arrange Marriage.

Hello, friends According to me, arrange Marriage is the best.

The Girls, when get married at the age group of 15-17 can have enough time to learn different households. Their mother in laws should cooperate in their regard and let her have the room of learning different households like cooking and cleaning freely and don't input an extra burden onto her shoulder. In the same way, Boys can have enough time to become successful in their career. The would not need to earn a livelihood at their early age because their father is already earning enough to run the families.

Getting married early lets a boy or girl enjoy the chance to understand the partner in a better way. Of course, both of them would have more time to know the habits of each other and develop a better understanding of a return.

The life of teen couples remains full of excitement the activeness, thus they can definitely have better chances to know each other and adopt the habits accordingly this gives rise to the highest level of cooperation in their successful married relationship.

We live only once, it is said that human birth is not easy to get. So if you are someone in your 20's you only have more 50 to 60 years of life to live or less than that.

Now compromise, adjustment these terms will take your whole life. If a person wants to be single earn for himself/herself take care of their parents it is a wonderful thought, isn't it?

Old era was different cause today child expenses are a way to much right from birth to education and in some cases their marriages also, it will take lakhs of your hard earn money, which in other cases would be your huge saved bank balance to fulfil all your needs till you die.

If you are getting married thinking that in your old age.

Your children will take care of you then think twice today's generation is busy in there own world (many examples where children have settled abroad and parents are living alone) then what will be the scenario when your kids will grow. Will they have time to look after you. Think about it.

IT SHOULD AFTERALL BE A CHOICE NOT A COMPLETION.

Let's ACCEPT THE FACT THAT LIFE IS NOT A FAIRY TAIL!

Marriage is not inherently a social trap; rather, its a success hinges on how partners treat each other. Unbreakable trust, unwavering support, and mutual respect form the cornerstone of a thriving, enduring relationship.

When one partner feels trapped or deprived of respect and assistance, the marriage can indeed become confining.

In many instances, women may find themselves feeling trapped due to various factors. For instance, if a woman works outside the home, but her husband fails to share household responsibilities or participate in child-rearing, she may feel ensnared. Gender-biased presumptions about responsibilities exacerbate this sense of entrapment. Economic constraints might further limit her ability to seek divorce.

In conclusion, equality and respect within a marriage are pivotal. Treating one's partner as an equal ensures that marriage remains a nurturing and fulfilling partnership, rather than a constraining institution. By upholding these principles, the perception of marriage as a trap can be dispelled.

Marriage is a bonding between Man and woman. Marriage means mentality and physical bonding between Man and woman. When a couple gets married they promised and decided to each other in any situation and any problems.

In my point of view, marriage is not a social trap because in a world everyone needs a good partner in our Life so they can express their thoughts and feelings. In my opinion, marriage is an entering world in this world man and woman decided to together each other in any situation. But in some cases, marriage is a social trap. Because in the world, especially India Children don't have any rights to choose their life partner in some rare case they have right to choose their partners. A good example of a social trap is arranged marriage. In this marriage married with an unknown person, so man and woman their whole life together with each other.

In conclusion, everyone has the right to choose their life partner and take their own decisions.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Marriage is a holy custom in India. We should marry at some point in time in our life to make our life circle a complete one. But sometimes we see that people think that after their marriage they will be puppets in the hands of their wife and vice-versa. But it depends on the mentality of your partner whether you will be able to spent your life freely or not. Very often we can see that after marriage the life gets changed and we become more responsible.

If we have a good understanding then nothing can trap us not even the society. And if you talk about privacy then a good husband must not disturb the privacy of his wife and that creates a good mental bonding. On the other hand also an ideal wife will also not try to destroy his husband's privacy. So we must not say that marriage is a social trap. If somehow you are trapped after your marriage then it is your individual problem not the problem of this holy institution called "Marriage".

Marriage is not a social trap, it made by us as a trap we prefer that woman should operate on man's command. She also have feelings, pride and self respect. People oppose dowry but they take it, frankly dowry is like gum which stick on our hair and never gonna removed so forget about this. But both the partner should care each other, believe in each other but also take care about giving some space to breath to get touch with himself or herself.

Woman also take care of her husband my practical experience said that now days girl work under her own mothers command and try to separate man from things which he love (its my practical experience what I am seeing right now) so girl need to understand the feeling of men and same thing apply for man. Marriage is pious bond not be based on compromise, if you live your life with love its become best thing. Woman is not slave she can do anything what she wanted and husband should support this if its right.
