    now this is the mentality we love. focus on you, your goals/dreams, and keep your standards high.

  • @shafiaaminath409 says:

    Very impressed with how she coined those words and made fabulous sentences — definitively a woman that all girls should look up to ❤️

  • @Iam_ramankaur says:

    I totally agree with her. Why women should follow what society has to say about their marriage and age. Marriage with purpose should be appreciated. if you are getting married just because society thinks you should, then probably that is marriage without purpose.

    • @zahuruddinsheikh2814 says:

      Absolutely!!. Marriage is not needed. Women shd not be slut shamed first if they are in a relationship with a man for physical needs only. Am not talking about escorts and sugar babies. Am talking about an understanding between two individuals who come together for physical needs and are busy the rest of the times. In the olden days things were difficult for anybody who had a physical disadvantage. When hunting and agriculture becomes the source of survival such institutions protected us. With where technology is today and considering the population, marriages should actually be banned. But that could be a stretch, atleast women shd come out of this pressure to be married and have a child. This one thing can improve innovations in general science and social conditions! As a muslim I see this happening the most in my community, have no idea about other communities.

      Marriage is important and also marriage at a younger age is preferred but again it’s a personal choice I’m glad Priyanka did what she felt and became wife and mom in 30s when she was truly ready 👍🏻

    • @mimis.5139 says:

      True thinking… coz marriage will be successful, neither compromise nor divorce will touch u if marriage has a purpose ..
      MARRIAGE should be a CHOICE not a NECESSITY for it to work. DO IT only if your heart pulls for it. Coz then u will achieve the stability for life

    What we (most of the Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi women)do is we get married, without finishing our studies, without having a career or money ourselves saved because we have to take at least 3 or 2 or at least 1 baby before we get too old or we lose the time to take kids and raise them , and try to be a good wife, good daughter in law or a good sister in law then after we try so hard to make those people happy and our patent’s happy and……… to make the whole world happy we lose our happiness , our freedom, our health our beautiful youth afterwards we find nobody was happy . We just live other people lives, at the end of everything nothing is ours we were just slaves of those people and of the whole world . If the marriage lasts people say we lived our lives and it doesn’t last then our faults. What is the point of these slavery than?

      @@sancharidas792 yes my dear, all my life I just tried to make things right by listening to everyone, my parents, brothers, relatives then husband, his whole family, but after almost 20 years I started realizing there are nothing left for me, every one just fulfilled their expectations by me, what am I then ? A robot? Or slave? Or what? I have sacrificed my studies, my career every thing, I am no more the person I was meant to be , I have left everything, I will finish my studies, will work will raise my kids my way. Last two years I am doing what I want to do, I have gained my freedom, my peace and I am working on my goals, my kids are happy because I am happy now. After a long period of time I am enjoying my life. May God grant you , us , all the women out there health, freedom, and happiness!

      @@hsd287 i don’t agree on the ‘beautiful sacrifice’ thing like how society likes to paint it, its not beautiful, to some maybe but to the rest of mothers or grandmother, no, its just suffering. It’s definitely something brave tho, to still choose to take care of family members, it takes so much hardwork.

  • @stephs8277 says:

    I have not gotten married and I have been with my SO for 8 years. I don’t like how much crap society has given me about it. I love my partner and I do not need a piece of paper to show our love and devotion. My parents are still married, and my mom straight up told me that she doesn’t love my dad anymore (he has anger problems), and I don’t see marriage as a guarantee for love and happiness.

      @@ankurimaborah4119 u don’t get it…. Not all women have crazy money like priyanka or a open minded supportive partner…. There’s a reason why parents pressure women to get married before their 30s…. It’s because the best period for a woman to find the best potential man is during their 20s coz & afterwards the potential men she cud get for marriage is gonna drastically crash coz men go for younger women & won’t marry an old woman no matter how good looking or hot they are… & that woman will have to marry someone really older like a 40 or 50 year old man.. This is the reason womens parents get anxiety about , coz they fear their daughter will miss the “prime time” in which she can Find the best man… Ofcourse if she doesn’t wanna get married it’s no problem… But its gonna be a problem for women who DO wanna get married someday…. Comon bruh😂 it’s 2022… being financially independent isnt something to be proud of its just a basic human need, u shud cry if u arnt financially independent… Why does being financially independent correlate to whether or not u shud marry….

    it is not that getting married is bad or having kids is the ultimate milestone. There can be a lot of joy in having a family. You just have to be lucky to find the right person because no one is perfect. Lot of responsibilities come with kids, your life will never be the same. you have to be ready for that too.
