In India, staying single can open the floodgates to hell. As absurd as it may sound, it’s a grim reality. And especially, when there’s a woman involved, things notch up sky-high. From some people expressing their concern over the prolonged singlehood to others cooking up endless speculations over it, only a single woman knows the hogwash and melodrama she has to go through. People don’t seem to come to terms with the fact that a woman can be single and happy at the same time. In the changing times, many women prefer being single, and don’t lean on any support to do good in life. It’s as natural as a man doing the same; but the long-standing double standards of our society just don’t seem to topple down.
