Our society has this annoying tendency of pressurising young people into getting married the moment they touch their mid-twenties. If they get married earlier, well and good. But when they begin to inch closer to 30, it’s a nightmare. Soon, you’ll find yourself trying to swim through unsolicited advice from nosy relatives.
One woman was going through the same, so she took to Reddit to ask people online what’s the “normal” age to get married. Now, you and I both know that there is (and shouldn’t be) no “normal” age to get married. You should get married when you’re ready and not because all your friends are getting married, your younger sibling is on the line, or your family is worried about their izzat.
The woman wrote, “I am in my late 20s and am being pressurized to get married, but I don’t want to get married before I stabilise my career. I have been told that if I wait till my 30s it’ll be difficult to find a groom for me. This kinda makes me worry a lot because I don’t want to end up alone.”

However, people online responded to her post by sharing heartwarming advice. Many asked her to wait till she gets mentally and financially stable. A few others shared their own story of getting married in their 30s. Have a look:
Having a partner and getting married should be considered your life’s +1. Your entire life shouldn’t revolve around it. Focus on yourself, love. 🙂
