I’m 30 now. I have my own apartment, a car, and no loans — yet I’m still single.

I’ve never really felt the need to get married. I’m not very connected to my relatives, so arranged marriage was never an option. And honestly, seeing so many divorce cases where people end up losing half their earnings and assets has made me even more cautious.

That got me thinking…

Is marriage truly necessary for a successful life or for having someone to grow old with and take care of each other?

I’d love to know your thoughts — let’s keep it real.

Yes, marriage is important
No, it’s not necessary
Still figuring it out

I don't equate success and marriage together.. Dr. Api Abdul Kalam never married and he was successful..

The thing is marriage gives a sense of fulfillment and purpose... If you can fill that with something else it will work...

It depends on what your expectations are from life. As we are genetically programmed, the sense of fulfillment comes when we have our own family, but if you feel you can be alone and feel better than having your own family, I personally don't think you should get married. But because we humans are social animals as we are programmed through our genes, it makes it mandatory to have someone throughout our life.

Without a wife or kid nobody will put up with the nonsense of corporate slavery.

My kid's school fees are the only reason I smile to the shitty jokes of my manager.

I’m a 29 y old got divorced recently. But I still believe that marriage as an institution is needed and it can be really good if you get a good partner.

Most people get married because they’re afraid. Afraid of getting older, afraid of being lonely, afraid they’ll not get “good” partners later, afraid how they’ll survive in this society. But don’t be afraid. Marry only and only for one reason, when you really find a true friend in your partner. Else, it’s pointless. Everything fades in marriage with time, societal pressures, sex, “need” to be with someone.

How tf is someone supposed to 'find' a good friend/partner in indian culture. Dating is almost non-existent here.

Married people don’t fearmonger like this. They don’t cope like this.

There is no incentive for men to get married these days. Bang hoes, hire maid for housework. You're sorted. Chat with AI chatbots for emotional support and shit.

This might sound harsh but take 1 day leave and go to the family court and see the boys/parents faces for 1 day , just get to the real side and their story

Yeah do the same with accident data in this country and then stop going out on the road as well. Sit in your house, do nothing. Best life.

How do you own an apartment without home loan at 30? Please shed some light.

SillyPretzel

Owning an apartment is no big deal. Now whether it's a 1 BHK crapfest or a 4BHK penthouse is a different story.

Thoughts on marriage

Anybody here who's in their late 20's and family is pressuring them to get married but you're not mentally ready for the responsibility because maybe first you want to achieve something or be in a better place mentally or financially.

To the married folks, would it be different if you would have married later in life? From a personal or objective POV, what’s your take

I don't think getting married is a milestone. Try to stay as single as you can. - someone married for a few years now
