21 mein shaadi, 23 mein bachche (Married at 21, parents at 23), has been the Indian slogan. Marriage is not for love but is an expected progression of life. Marry the one your Mommy and Daddy like and approve of and of course the one who is from your own community.  Navigating and fighting these unfair rules to choose what she wants, Vanita and I speak about the struggles and of course the mental health around this in our country.  Support the Show.
