Can anybody just tel me WHY???

Congratulations to you! I am so glad you have the strength to stand up for yourself and realize this is wrong. I agree with you one hundred percent. There is no reason you have to be married by 22 unless you choose to do so. Unfortunately women are looked down upon if they aren't married by a certain age. I am 24 and my parents are always pushing me towards marriage. There are so many things I want to do before I settle down I don't feel I have time for it at this point in my life. Stay strong and do what you want to do with your life. Don't listen to the others who push you towards marriage or push you to settle down. Live your life for you because you only get one shot at it. The world needs more strong women like you.
