I Don’t Want to Get Married, I Still Want to Figure Out My Life – 25-Year-Old Woman Speaks on Family Pressure To Marry

A young woman has sparked conversation online after revealing how her family is pressuring her to get married at just 25.

The lady, identified on social media as @izzza35, shared that while her relatives are eager for her to settle down, she is not ready for marriage and would rather focus on figuring out her life first.

She said: “This is me officially calling my family members out, and calling out my friends, especially my married friends. Please let me breathe; everything isn’t about marriage. Can I breathe? Can I figure out my life?”

“You’re married, please enjoy your marriage, don’t pressure me. You guys should stop pressuring me. Yes, fine, I’ll be 25 in three weeks—there are so many of my mates who are no more.”

“I am a Muslim, I am supposed to be married, I know, but leave me alone.”

“There are so many things I need to figure out as a lady. I don’t even have anything to show off for. Can you guys let me breathe? This is me officially calling them out. You people are messing with my mental health. I’m tired.”

“A friend of mine called me yesterday; I know she has been married for eight years. She said, ‘Zainab, you should get married, even if it’s just to have a child.’ Can you guys let me breathe?”
