A man’s post advising men to marry and have children early, so they aren’t still paying school fees at retirement age, sparked debate online. While some agreed with the practical reasoning, others pushed back against the one-size-fits-all approach to life choices.
One dissenting comment read: “Everybody must not get married.”
Supporters of this view argued that marriage and parenthood are personal decisions, not compulsory milestones. They noted that fulfillment, responsibility, and legacy can take many forms beyond marriage or having children. Critics of the original post added that economic realities, personal goals, and emotional readiness differ widely, making early marriage unrealistic or undesirable for many.
The exchange reflects a broader shift in attitudes, where traditional timelines are increasingly questioned, and individuals are asserting the right to define success on their own terms rather than follow societal pressure.
