It is simply due to the fact that women do not the same bargaining power as men do when it comes to power dynamics during a marriage proposal. Women are so much dependent on the patriarchal system that sometimes they do not have an option but to enter into a disastrous relationship willingly. One of the major problems we have in our society is that women are forced to marry at a certain age point due to the prevailing social norms and as a result, they are not able to complete their education properly or do not get a chance to start their career as compared to men.
Another major reason for the power imbalance is the problem of dowry. Women are mainly seen as a burden by their own family members and are often married off to an unsuitable groom just because the dowry demanded was very little. They do not hesitate to sacrifice the life of their very daughter. This is the reason that majority of women do not see the face of higher education in their lives. As a result, they became gravely dependant on their husbands and the power dynamics get unstable. This causes further problems such as domestic violence, harassment, marital rape, dowry demands, etc.
The effective solution to this problem is that we have to make our women more educated and independent in order to restore the power balance between the two genders. It is a shame that even in 2021, women have to sacrifice their dreams just because society demands them to get married early on. We have to remove the stereotypes from the minds which objectify a woman at a dangerous level. Due to this objectification, they come under a lot of pressure. The women also need to be made aware of their legal rights so that they may protect themselves.
