Hi Akka, I am a single daughter (26 years) and also the first graduate in my family. From a lower middle-class level, my parents and I (my contribution was only for the last 5 years) have worked hard to reach the upper-middle-class position in society.


I am very independent & I earn 1 lakh per month; I have a loan of 45 lakhs which I got to build a 2-storeyed house for my parents. They have also contributed more than my share to the house. Now they are pressurizing me to get married since one of my cousin’s marriage is fixed, though I have a lot of financial & parental commitments they are least concerned about it. I am okay to marry but I have not got any good matches, very few matches are good and they are getting canceled for all the other reasons.


I look for character in a person and minimum financial stability, but my mom went on to hurt me yesterday in which she said, “Do you know how many people have rejected you?” and “Do you have anybody else in your mind?” when she knows that I don’t. It’s very painful when parents especially moms talk like this. Why can’t this world accept a highly paid independent peaceful person without this marriage tag? I love myself physically though people say I am obese and short, but the family is making my days difficult when I am working to provide a better life for my parents.
