16 Awesome Reasons Why It’s Totally Fine To Not Get Married Now

We have always collectively been obsessed with the idea of marriage. Most people grow up just wanting to get married. Nothing wrong. But increasingly the concept of shaadi is becoming more and more frivolous. So many of us (I hope!) find ourselves not thinking about it. It hasn’t featured in our scheme of things. And yet so many times we are subjected to disapproval and constant nagging.

Here are 16 perfectly practical reasons to not tie that knot. Go ahead and share it with people who nag you all the time.
