Celebrity nutritionist gives three reasons why parents should not get their daughters married

Nutritionist and lifestyle coach Rujuta Diwekar took to social media to advice parents to not punish their daughters with forced marriage. And she gave 3 arguments which don’t qualify as reasons for parents to get their daughters married.The first reason she said, “My daughter has fallen in love with someone. So, before spoiling my name, I better get her married. Invariably, when we think like this, that's when our daughters reach the age of 18, 19, 20, 21 maximum. Look, if she doesn't enjoy the fun of love in her youth, then when will she enjoy it? She won't be able to enjoy it in her old age. So, let her enjoy the fun of love. But also tell her to stay safe. And focus on her education and career. Don't waste your time in love.”The second reason she gave, “My mother-in-law and husband are after me to get my daughter married. Tell your mother-in-law and husband to find another time pass. My daughter is not ready to get married yet. Just because she is in your mind, she can't get married.” Citing the third reason as the most ‘useless’ one, she said, “She stays on the phone full time. If a girl stays on the phone full time, then what is the duty of the parents? Tell her not to stay on the phone for so long. Put a ban on phone use on her. Create a screen zone at home. But not to get her married and throw her out of the house. So that you don't have to see that she spends time on the phone. Every young boy and girl spends time on the phone. Because the design of the phone makes them addicted to it. So make them aware that the phone is an addiction. Stay away from it. And focus on your studies, your submissions, your career, your health.” Rujuta also shared 3 factors, which qualify as reasons for parents to get their daughter married. She said, “Number one. Her studies are completely over now. Second qualification. Now my daughter earns money on her own. And not only does she earn money, but she has a guarantee of a job and income. That means if there is a downturn in the market, if there is a disruption of AI, if anything else happens, then my daughter will be able to take good care of herself. She will be able to take care of her financials. She will also be able to take care of our family. You have to make her capable of that. And the third thing is that now my daughter has become sensible. What does sensible mean? Now she knows what she wants from her life. What does she want from her future husband? What does she want from herself? What does she want in her career? Once she understands this, then she can get married.” She concluded saying that consent matters more than anything before getting anyone married, “So there are three qualifications to get married. Complete studies. Guarantee income. And be sensible. So let your daughters live a peaceful life and breathe peace. Once they meet these three qualifications, only then you can ask them if they want to get married. And if they say ‘no, leave me alone’, then listen to them.”
