"Balancing Tradition and Progress: Deciding Between My Sister's Education and Marriage"

Hello everyone,I am constantly thinking about my situation and getting confused. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother (including myself). I currently have a job in sales, earning 40k, and my father also works, earning 25k. We belong to a rural area. In our community, it’s common for everyone to get married at the age of 25. I am 25, and my sister is 23. Our relatives are pressuring us to arrange my sister's marriage, but I want her to continue her studies and pursue a good career before getting married.My sister wants to take admission in an MCA program this year, which might delay her marriage by around 5 years. I’m struggling with the decision of whether to prioritize her education or go along with the pressure to arrange her marriage. This decision is heavily dependent on me.Please help me decide between my sister's education or her marriage.
