In many countries women no longer feel the need to get married. Some people believe that this is because women are able to earn their own income and therefore do not require the financial security that marriage can bring. To what extent do you agree?

Nowadays, females from all around the world are choosing to stay unmarried. It is argued that their choice is related to the fact that they have an occupation and are able to provide for themselves, so they do not need to rely on marriage for financial stability. I completely disagree with

this

essay will examine why income is not the motive for

women

to marry or not.

First

of all, it is a common misconception that females choose to spend their lives with a spouse because he will provide for them. For many centuries, girls were allowed to neither receive an education nor have an occupation. Men,

decide to stay unmarried and

receive that keeps them from marriage but their need to be autonomous and pursue their careers.
