This really hit for me. I’m 28, born and raised in India and currently living in Germany. Earlier this year, I was preparing for marriage and everything was going well, with even the wedding dates decided. Then I found out my company was shutting down and my contract would end. I shared the situation, and within four days everything was cancelled and there was no further contact.

I don’t blame anyone, but it made me realise how easily marriage can become conditional on career, money and stability. A job is what I do, not who I am. My character, values and how I handle difficult times are who I am. Marriage should be about companionship and standing together when life doesn’t go as planned not just being there when everything is perfect.

I’m a girl, and I would choose Option 1. The reason is simple: if a man talks to you respectfully, treats you well, understands you, and genuinely cares for you, it means he is a good human being—and I believe that is one of the most important qualities in any relationship.
If he earns less today, it doesn’t mean he will always earn the same. With time, growth and circumstances, things can change. Money can be earned, but finding a caring, understanding and emotionally mature person with whom you feel peaceful and secure is much more valuable.
For a long-term relationship, I would choose someone who gives me respect, understanding, care and peace—someone with whom I can truly feel at home.

India is not the US. Here when a female is choosing not to marry, the desicion is often borne out of concern for the safety of her life, her health ( both physical and mental ) as it can be highly dangerous. It's not just about money. The power dynamic often turns out to be fatal for her.

Our mothers have set so many examples of sacrifice and unappreciated seva that children have decided they don't want such a life. Who can blame them.

Husband and marriage demands lots of sacrifice and compromise. Husbands and in-laws want lots of seva from wives.

As an admirer of Osho, in my opinion, marriage itself is not a problem; rather, it is the institutionalization of marriage that is the real issue.

Yah because lot of men are not ready to be husband and father they just want wife and kids and there is big difference between it

I am a male, but my major concern regarding marriage is the downside risks of it. I fear that if my future wife and I have any disagreement and that escalates into her filing false a$$@ult cases against me or my parents, the first thing to be hit will be my career, because recruiters generally don't see any assault case on a male as a good thing and plus they will not even think of hearing my side if I am innocent or not.

1. Marriage rates wont drop to 15% by 2040. It will definitely be higher. It will drop signiificantly only from 2050.
2. People above the age of 55 after some time will not embrace the idea of marriage/wedding, instead they will enter into Live-In kind of relationships.
3. Definition of success for women will definitely change in the next 30 years.
