Is marriage a do or die afair? Because most culture and ways of life has made it look like it. women to a man is not just a companion but also a helper. In some part of the world it's a very big deal if a woman is not married when she is up to marriageable age, women goes through a lot in that aspect when not married, she will be talk down on, direspected, she will receive all manner's of insult just because she is not married.
I knew of a woman that in her family it's only her that didn't got married, she is being treated badly even her household members, they always try to mock her at every slit opportunity, because she is more than 50years of age now.
To me the most ugliest part of it is that in some part of the world, women are not given part of their inheritance, it's only the male child, they believe that woman will get married and have a new home.
The most painful part of it is even the ones that got married and found their self in an abusive marriage, will find it difficult to walk away because she doesn't want to stay unmarried. Please let's all of protect our women, they also have the right to live.
Are we still living in those kind of times where woman depends too much on man?
They are already fighting for gender equality so I think staying single or unmarried is also their choice, woman who could support their own doesn't need to put up or stay in an abusive partner, for me those who choose to stay are either martyr or couldn't provide for their own.
Because if they could and they know their worth they would get out of that relationship no matter what.
