Self-Partnering! A word that might sound kind of weird and mind-boggling! Isn’t it? Let us go a little deeper to understand it.
The New Way Of Life For Women: Self-Partnering
We see that Arijit Singh’s songs which are full of pain and agony are the ones that are getting maximum views on you-tube. These are the songs that people are listening to on loop. This phenomenon is proof enough that heart-breaks, cheat and unrequited love are things which Millenials are going through and such emotions have become common. To avoid this and live a peaceful life, women are gradually adopting a new way of life called self-partnering.
Sologamy or self-partnering is sinking as a celebration of singlehood and firm life decision now. One woman from Italy hosted a fairy-tale wedding for herself and also invited a legit number of guests to celebrate the occasion of marrying herself. Moreover, wedding planners from Japan have a number of packages for this latest trend of life.
Celebrities from the homeland and abroad like Tabu, Mallika Dua and Emma Watson opine that for them, self-partnering is choice and they never felt the need for a male partner to complete them or their lives. Pretty bold statement!
According to the stats, 74 million women in India are single. This does not mean that the crowd only contains young, unmarried women. The cluster has single, divorced, widowed and several other combinations. For them and even for others, the word self-partnering has given them positive support and a feeling of righteousness for the decision to remain single.
Being single for women is a huge stigma and they are constantly under pressure to have a family. Our land has to go a very long way to embrace singlehood of women. Moreover, prominent research has found that marriage and childbearing do not guarantee happiness or ecstatic life for women. It is very important for everyone to understand and respect the choice of such females irrespective of their background, class or financial status. Let’s hope that our country soon whisks away the interdiction of self-partnering for females soon.
