I was shocked and saddened by this article. I do not know that it is true opinion and how pervasive.
We’ve been told for generations that marriage is the foundation of society. That it’s sacred, stabilizing, and somehow central to a woman’s worth. But here’s the question we’ve finally started to ask, What happens when that foundation is built on silence? On endurance? On shrinking yourself just enough to fit into a version of love that was never built for you? In India, more and more women are quietly walking away from marriage. Not out of anger. Not because they’re anti-family. But because they’ve reached a place of clarity and can no longer pretend that survival is the same as peace. Let’s stop decorating the idea of marriage and start telling the truth about what happens inside it. Because what’s breaking isn’t the institution, it’s the women inside it.
