Struggles Of Single Indian Women
The struggles of a single Indian woman is not at all understood by the common man, leave alone the modern man. Women in India have a lot of advantages before them but are faced with a great number of disadvantages since they are not allowed to welcome the good side of life. Being an Indian woman itself has a lot of disadvantages. For instance, she is not permitted to go out at night. She is not allowed to travel by herself. The Indian woman is also given a suitor to marry instead of falling in love and finding a suitor herself.
Like these struggles of a single Indian woman, there are more. The disadvantages of being a woman in India will shock you to the bones, once you begin to see the challenges a woman in India faces everyday.

Needless to say, men in India who are educated and well versed with life are the ones who get judgmental about the women in their lives. These are the men who rip the confidence in some of the Indian women and install a sense of endless fear. Here are some of the struggles of a single Indian woman, you have to take a look to feel the pain:

Falling In Love Is A Sin
There are only rare cases where an Indian woman is allowed to fall in love and marry the person. This situation happens only in families who are broad minded and have a past of love marriages. Whereas, the yesteryear single Indian women have no choice but to marry their folks choice.

Travelling In The City Is A Pain
The major disadvantage of an Indian single woman is travelling. If she travels alone she feels and is unsafe. If she is unmarried and travels with someone known of the other gender then it is a big deal. Therefore, this indeed is one of the struggles of a single Indian woman.

If She Is Passed The Marriageable Age
God forbid if she is past the marriageable age. She will be looked down upon as unworthy and more like an untouchable. Passing the marriageable age and still not a bride is one of the major struggles of single Indian women.

Not A Virgin??
Here again, God forbid if she doesnt bleed on her first night! A bride has to bleed on her first night, if she fails to, she will be disowned by her new family. Here are the facts about your hymen, read it and then come to a conclusion about a woman's virginity.

If She Wears Glasses
Women who wear glasses are also looked down upon. She is portrayed as ugly and not worthy to be a bride. Women who are single and who wear glasses will understand this struggle and how it is a disadvantage of being an Indian woman.

Colour Matters
Colour does matter to a lot of Indian parents who are searching for brides to marry their 'fair' son! If she isnt fair, she is listed in the rejected column. Kind of immature, don't you agree? The truth be told, this is one of the other major struggles of single Indian women.

If She Drinks
An Indian woman cant drink, she cant smoke, she can visit resorts, she cant travel and basically her life is filled with 'cant's'. Small assignment - The next time you see a woman standing in a corner smoking, count the number of people who watch her continuously in the act. You will be amazed.
