Hello friends,

According to me marriage is not a social trap because marriage makes our life complete, it brings in a sense of responsibility towards our family, at this point of time we realize that we need to bring a sort of stability in our life.

Marriage is not only an engagement of a man and a women, but both the partners take vows to support each other though out their life, be with each other at all the circumstances be it good or bad. One is always very close to us with whom we can share our deepest feelings.

Marriage is also a meeting of two families their culture, traditions, festivals.

A successful marriage makes a happy family, which in turn makes a peaceful society and finally a developed Country.

But marriage becomes a social trap when it is done only for a compromise, for money, for some sort of sacrifice or when there is not respect for one's feelings and emotions and their family.

I completely believe that marriage is a social trap ! I would like to raise some questions, which I think most of you would agree! Why the person marry anybody in pressure for the sake of society in which we recite? What if the person does not want to have a soul mate and would love to spend his/her whole life for his/her parents? Why is there such a rule/custom made by our own society for d so called marriage concern? Why is a person considered dependent to lean upon somebody, he can also live independently on his own terms ?

'COMPROMISE', 'UNDERSTANDING', 'ADJUSTMENT' etc etc. Why to bring such complicated terms in our lives. We get life only once, I think people are born free and should have right to live and let live others free,

Marriage is a total waste of time, money and still in the worst case I can never see myself compromising each day of my life for anybody!

Hello everyone, before we address the topic.

Let's talk about why the marriage concept is still relevant today it is because humans an social animals and in order to not feel lonely they want to have a companion for a long duration to share moments of happiness, sadness etc.

So, if 2 people are happy staying together and doing things together along with having their own identity then marriage is a beautiful thing which can happen to anyone if the same things are not matching and people in it are on different wavelengths then it's a social trap. So it all depends on one's behaviour, mentality, grown-up environment and how each treats each other from different perspectives so the marriage definition changes as per each perspective. According to me, it's not a social trap it's a beautiful thing to happen in each and one's life it can mentally help you grow as a person.

Marriage is surely not a social trap because through marriage we get life partner who stays with us for lifelong, many things may happen many may come and go but life partner stays with us how hard the situation is. For example if we take two persons where one is married and other unmarried we find that married person feels confident than other because he has support from life partner who stays how hard the situation is and this confidence cannot be given my money, status even children may leave some times but life partner does not live. "marriage is bonding two different persons to be as one soul to spend the total life happily".

By marriage we will have one with whom we can share our joy, sad, everything. Some married couples may be unhappy due to their misunderstanding or any other reason but by seeing some cases we cannot say the total system is bad.

Greetings everyone,

Marriage is an unbreakable bond of trust and love that should never be equated to a trap, as a trap is a boundary within which one is confined and forced to accomplish tasks with multiple terms and conditions.

But, in the case of marriage, it totally depends on the partners and how they make the best out of it. And yes without any doubt it's true that society would keep an eye on and put undue pressure on the weds to narrate a story of an orthodox companionship and role-plays from both spouses.

Considering this they must provide an answer to that with a reflection of a relationship that gives a lot of optimism in each other's life and becomes a shoulder of rest and advice to one another rather than just being a tag to fit into societal norms.

That's all from my side, it's my view on the topic.

Thank you for listening.

Hello everyone.

I could not understand why people living in India which is rich in its culture and traditions blame marriage as a trap. Marriage plays a very important role in every individuals life. Due to the impact of movies and other social abuses like dowry youth might have corrupted and giving least importance to marriages. Both the youth and their parents should realize that girls and boys are equal in all aspects and should keep full stop to this dowry system so that we can save our traditions and make one's life beautiful.

Marriage acts not only as a social bond between two people but also between their families. It makes the individual responsible towards their family and also towards their society. It shows the importance of relationships which is vanishing in the present society. Better half gives full life of success.

Hello there..
I hv read all the comments mentioned before and some of them were very perceptive. What I think that the marriage is not a social trap. If you are calling it a trap that because after the marriage the girl is not allowed to work in offices, she is forced to remain housewife. So i think that is not correct. One individual is not allowing this wife to work outside then it is his personal opinion. If u r saying it is trap because the career of a woman gets destroy coz of marriage then it is also incorrect. there are many examples of women who hav still contributed to the society, even being married. The late Savitribai Phule, Kalpana Chawla and even the actress who still continue with their work after getting married. So, summing all these points i only come to the conclusion that the marriage is not a social trap.

Hello friends,

Marriage is a bonding between male and female, in my opinion, I would like to say that marriage is not a trap, it's a good relationship, everybody needs somebody and hence we all get married. If we talk about a girl who has done arranged marriage without her choice and her husband is also not good like he smokes, drinks and does bad activities as well then we can think that the girl is trapped as she cannot do anything since it was a arrange marriage and her husband daily drinks and after drinking he beats her and the girl can't leave him and cannot go anywhere else. In this context, this marriage is called a social trap.

But on the other hand, if you are marrying with your own choice and love, cares for each other a lot, then both are happy and can spend entire life together then it is not said to be a trap.

Hello friends,

According to me marriage is not a social trap, because it is bond of two relationship thats nothing but two hearts. Parents will not be with us everytime and everywhere, so there is a need of help, being along with us every time for a lifetime, the person who supports always in every aspects, it gives meaning to life by giving a new generation. No one can stay alone for a long time, but many of the people says that they want to be alone, its only because some sort of disturbances in life. It is a place where we find more love and affection after your parents. As I said parents will not stay for ever, so there is need to find same level of love and care from other she/he. Marriage life depends on understanding between each other, there should not be any judgemental.

Relation makes you happy and complete life.

Marriage is not a social trap rather It is a beautiful relationship between two souls, two families. No one is self-sufficient unless he/she becomes saint and leaves the social life. One needs support from his partner many times in life, no one else can give it. So it's a unique relationship. Some deepest feeling and emotions can be shared only with a partner, not even with parents.

It's a good part of it that it abide by law. I think it is necessary to abide by law. Otherwise more we'll have more cases of divorce. One takes responsibility to be with his/her partner in every ups downs of life in presence of family. If any does fraud that he/she can be penalized by laws.

Human is a social animal, until he lives socially he needs to have partner who remains with her lifelong, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
