Recent reports have stirred up a storm in Pakistan, claiming that a staggering 10 million Pakistani women above the age of 35 are unmarried. This revelation has sparked a flurry of reactions and discussions across social media platforms and local news outlets.
Various reasons have been put forth to explain this phenomenon. Some attribute it to the high demands from groom's families, including dowry expectations and preferences for specific professions like doctors. Others point to educated women rejecting unsuitable proposals and challenging traditional gender norms.
Interestingly, there are contrasting views on the issue. While some advocate for creating a more supportive environment for women to pursue education and careers, others blame women themselves for setting unrealistic standards for potential partners.
Amidst the debate, some have seen the reported statistic as an opportunity, while others have proposed unconventional solutions like cross-border marriages to strengthen diplomatic ties.
Despite the varied opinions and theories circulating online, it is evident that the issue of unmarried women in Pakistan above the age of 35 has struck a chord with many, prompting introspection and dialogue on societal norms and expectations.
