Sakshi shares her struggle with her parents regarding her views on marriage. For other women who also feel that marriage is not necessary to have a full and happy life, she advises that “being selfish is the only way out”.
Basically what I am trying to say is that every time I have refused a prospective alliance, I have seen the disappointment on their faces. And sometimes there are those weak moments where you just want to give in, for their sake alone. The thing is; daughters are not considered as burdens by all (Indian) families but their marriage is perceived as a responsibility by most of them. A responsibility as a parent, a responsibility towards their girl-child and for superficial reasons, a responsibility towards the society.
