The indian soceity can be very suppressive in terms of their concept of marriage, our idea of a runaway bride is someone with a rebellious soul who would rather wander the world fearless than sit under the weight of societal pressure.

What is societal pressure- Expectations that affect the entire community, or specific parts of it, like the pressure to get married and have children. These are the traditional norms that according to the society are right and should be followed under any circumstance, ‘log kya sochenge‘ is one of the most frequently thought line when someone thinks of putting their ideas and ideologies first.

What is so important to understand is irrespective of the criticism, one can never and should never be scared of such norms to the extent that they would let their own mental health get suppressed. ‘Your mental health isn’t a secondary option, it is a priority‘ and should always be treated that way.
