Is it mandatory that a boy should be elder than the girl to get married?? What if it’s the other way round?? What if there’s a 10 year old gap between the two??? Do these nitty-gritty things bear relevance if both the ends are compatible; have similar likes and dislikes and willing to live together under the sacred bond of wedding?

What has age and religion got to do if the two feel very comfortable with each other, if they can complement their life wonderfully, if they can converse on incessantly about any topic under the sun…share similar tastes…love to care for each other… then what’s so derogatory about it..? Is it a major social issue if the partner is overly elder than the other…? My personal answer is “NO”.

Marriage is all about being together, for each other and understand each other completely…rest should be of minimal importance. Of course I do not hold any degree on relationships nor specialized to pass on a judgment but just thought of expressing what I think strongly about. This may be a debatable issue but how many marriages work smoothly when it’s so called well arranged after age, caste and religion differentiation is well approved of. Are they really happy and content?? Do they actually have similar feelings or they just drive their marriage for the heck of it and keep mum as a part of compromise in life..? The phenomenon continues, no matter how contemporary we become but at the end of the day it’s all about the society and other external factors…that influence our lives…OUR so called PERSONAL lives.
