Why don't people want to get married these days

Wherever I see, cousins, friends, colleagues, no one wants to marry. They don't want to even discuss it and most of my friends or cousins are 30+ years. If this continues It's good I guess for the planet but the fun is lost, rarely any weddings and kids. I see it particularly with guys as compared to girls in general.

For me, the reason is financial instability.

Earning upto 2 lakhs per month feels like nothing in today's time. After taxes, education loan EMI and expenses, one is barely left with anything. On top of that, I have an added responsibility of catering to my parents and need to send the money every month. My savings are a mere 15K per month and I don't think I can get married at this stage. Further, I don't have the bandwidth to have kids.

So I have kind of accepted how my life would be. No marriage. No kids. Slog till I have to take care of my parents. The day I am free from that responsibility, quit the job and start working with an NGO with an aim to make living better in India. Would not want anyone from the future to live life like me and for that, someone needs to be there and drive that change.

My family would be that NGO and all the beneficiaries from that NGO.

But arenโ€™t you facing any problems from parents/family, arenโ€™t they constantly bugging you to get married soon?

The major reason is law.
One sided laws favoring a particular gender is not good since other party loses everything in case of an argument

People only want good looking and high earning partners. Both the genders. Too many rejections.

Yeah. You have mentioned the correct sequence too- good looking and then high earning. If you are high earning but bad looking, forget marrying๐Ÿ˜„

Well , that case to women should have given up marriage long time ago , sati , dowry issues , financial supression , huge number of cases of domestic abuse . The laws might be misused now but why did the govt place them to protect women , foolish women . Wonder why they want to get married na. Then in this generation 2-3 men killed themselves ( actually thatโ€™s really sad , god give peace to their families ) and morcha chal raha shaadi hi mat karo .

Because at that time they had no option. They were not educated neither skilled enough to earn for themselves. So they had to endure all that.

Now both are educated and self reliant and unless you really find someone good wonโ€™t you rather stay free from issues?

People donโ€™t want to get married some cause they canโ€™t and most of them donโ€™t want to adjust themselves around anyone , both genders honestly.

Why is it so hard to find a partner these days?

I feel these days it is very difficult to find a marriage partner. People don't want to get married. Unrealistic expectations. Share your experiences as well if you have.

Everyone wants a tailormade partner but no one wants to be the tailormade one for others.
