Marriage….WHY ???

Got cornered by my aunts yesterday about when and who I shall marry. Well imagine my state when four battle hardened ladies who make you sit in a easy chair in the corner of a small room and pull chairs all around and bombard you with questions about your future. When? Who? Why so Late? Wanna be bald before you marry? You are no longer Young now? You earn enuf? Any painful break-ups? Anyone we should know about? Can we start searching?

All that torture finally got me thinking…. WHY?

Have listed the options here and frankly I care a hoot for what people think but if you are a well-mannered, courteous, civilized, polite, decent MORON. Please stop reading.
So again, Marriage….WHY ???

  • Companionship: I get bored while I am lazing around my room on a Saturday but that’s how I unwind. And while I love company don’t you like having your own space? And I have enough friends who know when to come over and when to leave but marriage would actually mean that I have to put up with her for life. Read this to see the irony!
  • Dowry: Well I shall not steep down so low after living through a comfortable life till date (fingers crossed). Also it comes within our family that we abhor the very concept of dowry even though it remains the single reason why the education industry is thriving around the globe.
  • The Dreaded word which got Sania Mirza and Khusboo into trouble, SEX : well you get a lot of variety outside wedlock, try being decent looking, owning a car and having cash to burn (esp. for a condom). Not that I am about to do any one of these, but I can still hypothesise.
  • Procreation: Well with the population of India being what it is, I can be a true India ala rang-de-basanti and do my bit for the country by not contributing.
  • Children: you can have one without getting married again hypothetically esp. in India but I have nieces and nephews to fill that void and love them, so it really does not make a difference.
  • As hard as I tried I could not come up with another reason and excuse.

So let me come to the first point again, WHY?????

Marriage is not only about sex, companionship or having your space eaten up by her. Its more than that. Its a complete package, comes with advantages also. Take your time to reflect on this.
