‘Marriage has become tough because girls want to be independent,’ says Thaman S

The composer added, “And post covid, everything changed. I think Instagram is one of the main killers also. Maybe, I don’t know if I’m using the right words. Because, we only share beautiful things there, but not the struggle that goes behind it. But right now, I don’t recommend marriages; it’s become very tough to understand the standards. I see people getting divorced left and right; it has become common. No one wants to adjust.”

His statements didn’t go down well with netizens.

A user wrote, “Omg! You don’t recommend marriages because women want to be independent? Because they’ve stopped being innocent? Oh sorry! You mean they stopped being dumb? I did not expect this from you teddy anna. You’re no different from a misogynist.” Another person commented, “Bro realised feminism post covid.”

Another person, offended by his statement, said, “Very conveniently he put the blame on women’s need for independence! Does it mean that independent women do not deserve companionship and love. He is just proving the typical men’s mentality in a marriage where they want to control everything.”

Thaman S is yet to react to the controversy.
