ARA-------------------------The very freedom for women that the world celebrates is gradually beginning to devour everything—families, relationships, and social balance.

International surveys suggest that in the coming years, up to 45% of young women may choose to stay unmarried. At first glance, this looks like progress, but in reality, it is a time bomb for the future.

1. Career, money, and loneliness... what kind of progress is this?

Today’s daughters are becoming District Magistrates, doctors, engineers, CAs, teachers, and entrepreneurs. That is excellent—truly magnificent. But is a career the entirety of life?

Just think about it. Money cannot be a companion. A high-ranking position won't hold your hand in old age. Mobile phones and laptops don't converse with you in your twilight years. Yet, society remains indifferent to this truth; everyone is obsessed with the race.

2. Families are crumbling... is anyone even noticing?

The number of unmarried men and women is rising, the population is declining,

and the 'loneliness industry' (counselors, therapy, antidepressants) is flourishing. Yet, we keep saying everything is fine—that this is modernity. This isn't modernity; it is a slow death for the family, society, and human relationships.

3. The most dangerous situation...

Today, parents look for a match, but the daughter says, "Not right now."

That "not right now" gradually turns into "never." By the time the realization hits, the medical reports are already on the table: hormonal issues, inability to conceive, mental stress, and loneliness. But who is responsible then? No one—because the decision was made in the name of freedom.

4. Why are the 'white-collar' members of society silent?

Because they fear being labeled 'anti-modern' if they speak the truth. But the truth is that if marriages do not take place during the prime age of 21–25, society will soon become as desolate as a cold December night. 5. A final point.

Progress is not that which leaves us isolated. If our future is destined to be one of bachelorhood, solitude, and a lack of emotion, then for society, this is not a matter of pride but a warning sign of danger.
