    DEFINITELY NOT! getting married wen one is'nt ready for it cud be devastating not only for u n ur family but also for d person u r marrying n his family. sit n talk to ur family explain it to dem wat u want in life. it's sad dat in our indian system many people think dat only thing fr a grl to do is to get married after she has compleated her education. try to tackle dis problem wid patience. remember dat ur parents r worried for u n r just think for ur best even if ur ideas dont match. u cud join some course n tell ur parents u dont want to marry b4 compleating ur education ;-) dis wud buy u time. by da way y is it dat u dont want to get married? i mean at 26 u must have compleated education n must be working or something. most grls ur age wud either be married or engaged or going around. den y not u? do u have some romantic idea's in ur mind n waiting for ur Mr. Right? or r u scared of sopme aspect of marrige? think from dis angle. seek help if requiered.

    A successful and happy marriage (and happy life for the married couple) depends on three things:

    1) Being the right person.

    2) Finding the right person.

    3) Being the right time.

    If 1, 2, or 3 aren't there, you won't have a happy marriage. Note that the wedding equation does not include "Your parents want you to."

    This can be tough to address with them, but you'll have to take it up with them unless they drop it. They have no right to live through you or dictate your choices.

    If your family is as traditional as some I've known, this may mean you have to move out of the house and not be afraid of their condescension. But remember, the most important person in your life is not your parents, but yourself.

    Work a while, enjoy life, then settle down when you're ready. Until then, enjoy being 26. It's a great year!

    no yaar..never do that,even for buying a saree you will be thinking a lot for choosing the right one.This is your life na,so think deeply,make your parents to understand what you feel.IN These days do not trust any one,trust your self,sometimes even your lovable ones will turn against you,if they left you alone then....!!there will be a big question mark in your life,so bettr settle down,you had suffered for 26years,hope you got a good degree,after studying a lot and being a housewife! will not suit for our indian economy,so better settledown by holding a good job..make your parents to understand this,definetly they will agree..keep hope..all the best for your future.

    So don't do it if you can talk to your parent, show them that even couple who think they are ready sometime can't maintain their life together so how a girl who knows she doesn't ready for this get through that???

    No you dont have to marry him. your culture may say you must. But if you are in America you do not have to marry any one that you dont want to. It would be hard to go against your family and culture but you are a grown woman and must decide what you want for your self.

    no no no no no no no, i am a mother and i would never tell anyone not alone my children to married. wait until you are ready to make that step it is a big move in your life and there no hurry to do something your heart is telling you not to do

    I think it's your life and you need to live it. Don't let your parents make you get married. If you're not ready, you're not ready! Life is short....live it!
