• As cultural and societal attitudes change, the choice to remain single may become even more normalized. Women should not be coerced into relationships, but their choice is the most important factor, and if it is their happiness, then so is it.

In previous generations, marriage was sacred and seen as the climax of one’s life—simply put, it was seen as the ultimate life goal. Specifically, women considered marriages a big achievement and their taking up the role of wives as divine.

Women not getting married seemed like a fault or a shortcoming on the women’s side, but this narrative has changed over the years.

Many modern women are opting for singlehood not for a seasonal phase but for life! Many consider singlehood a better option rather than having to deal with the same person for a lifetime and compromise things in one’s life for their partner’s sake, especially their freedom.

Of course, this opinion has been met with much resistance, especially from men. Many men say that these remarks are adverse outcomes of many women's empowerment, while others say that these women are just not sensible and will end up living a miserable, lonely life.

Other men support it by saying it’s their choice and they cannot be judged for what they think is best for them.

Some of the reasons that contribute to the rise of singlehood among women include financial independence, career priorities, emotional investment, changing societal perspectives, and personal growth.

Historically, women were financially dependent on men, but female empowerment has altered this dynamic.

Emotional investment and gender roles have also played a role in the rise of singlehood. Women often feel stressed and worn out due to their responsibilities and emotional investment.

Changing societal perspectives have led to independent women setting higher relationship standards. Women are prioritizing self-improvement, education, travel, and personal passions over relationship commitments.

Despite the growing acceptance of singlehood, many assume single women are lonely or waiting for the "right one" to change their mindset.

As cultural and societal attitudes change, the choice to remain single may become even more normalized. Women should not be coerced into relationships, but their choice is the most important factor, and if it is their happiness, then so is it.
