Title: Women above 25 and unemployed: Should marriage come first or career?
If a woman has crossed 25 and is still unemployed and trying to build her career, should her first priority be marriage or becoming financially independent first and then getting married?
A lot of people say things like “career is not running away anywhere” and that a woman can focus on her career after marriage as well. But practically speaking, is it really that easy after marriage? Especially in Indian households where responsibilities often increase.
Do you think it is better to first settle professionally and then marry, or should marriage not be delayed because of career uncertainty?
Also, to people who say “you can build your career after marriage too,” what would you say to them based on real-life experiences or observations?
