Woman Apprehends Marriage Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Woman is averse to marriage. Why so?
Marriage is a patriarchal set up,
Where woman loses all kinds of freedom
That she has enjoyed in her career life.

Disturbance is an inconvenience.
Commitments and peer pressure could mount up.
The childbearing warrants a career break.
Child rearing tasks are disproportionate.

Compatibility of this or that
Can crop up to stress and make life a hell.
Monotony in monogamy sets in.
Which middle aged woman is happy? Tell.

Marriage is no longer a woman's goal.
More career oriented her life turns.
At most single motherhood is welcome.
Aren't we growing cows without keeping bulls?
