“There is no jewel like a woman,” says a Sanskrit proverb. Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads glorify gender equality and diversity. But modern India is a bit regressive.

Marriages in India is a holy bond between partners who should be starting to be their marriage with spirituality itself. Both partners are not just partners, they are spiritual partners and travellers. It is a highly respected aspect of Indian society. And the womensweb.in like “SheThePeople” calls attention to women struggles striving for freedom, gender equality and diversity and their voices in the Indian society.

“From the beginning, the mentality has been the same: parents start saving and investing in gold ornaments just for one goal, and that’s marriage. I mean, what’s wrong with people now and mostly with our parents? This is one of the most important decisions, or you can say a choice in one’s life that decides the entire fate of the rest of our lives. Your parents should not force marriage on you, as doing so is one of the most devastating things in one’s life.” Joyeeta Mazumdar wrote in womensweb.in. She is the mother of 5 yrs old son. Marriage is not bad but also not in the manner we want it to be. And future generations are craving freedom from their parents themselves. Not force. That's why it has become common practice for children to run away from home. Marriage or not. “Running away from home” act highlights the critical state of the child or an adult. Their craving for freedom is clearly shown. They have choices but are not given. Love, marriage is dependent upon fate. And ‘freedom to choose of doing marriage should be given not parents but to adults who are actual doers’.

College students are pressurised to get ready for marriage and the subject of consent didn't get attention and are often criticised for standing up for themselves firmly on a logical standpoint. “Mostly it happens that while studying in college. We’re burdened by the responsibility of marriage that we’ve never asked for. And the worst part is, in our Indian society, if we’re proving our point or taking our stand being logically correct, we’re said to be disrespectful towards our parents. From the beginning, we’re supposed to and expected to do whatever we’re being told. And then it’s forcefully made our decision to be happy.” she further wrote.

Joyeeta accentuates a vital point here by this that marriage which is equally important to parents their children studies and career should be too. “How can I be happy if I’m not ready enough to share my life with someone and not ready to take such a huge and important decision in my life? I want my parents to understand at least this much that my career and future are as equally important as marriage is for them. And I need to secure my life and my future not because I’m going to marry shortly but because I’ve to do that for myself.”

Marriage is a lifetime commitment and this commitment should be handled with love, care and with extra equal careful inspection and examination. Because little carelessness cause lifetime issues. We could never know. In that matter, children had bad parenting too and suffers the most than their parents. “People had always seen their parents arguing, going through a financial crisis, and often had bad parenting, which made them suffer a lot.  Marriage is a sacred bond. If one is going to get married, they’ve to carefully examine every aspect because a little carelessness can cause problems for an entire lifetime.”

Her article underscores the priorities of an Indian girl who want to achieve her dream and she will be marrying only when she feels right. Her other articles are based on surrogacy, depression, how a mother could enhance social media followers, post-pregnancy issues, mental fitness during COVID-19 as well as in Workspace too. She wrote likewise articles from ‘mom-duties’ to 'a smile' and about ways of harvest rainwater in our homes. It was discovered to be worth noting that Jyoteeta had thoroughly addressed relevant key civil issues that even a layman could read, relate and take actions (measures). A modern mother can empathise with another modern mother. This peculiarity of her essays with a tint of boldness could attract a million super moms to flip through her ‘voices of women.in’ and create a united front of humility, humanity and empathy in Indian society. You could also see yourself in it.
