The Commitment is Too High to Forget to Get Married

   
     

The group of men or women who are categorized as 'single twilight' because they are not married because they have interesting careers in addition to feeling comfortable with their lives.

Social expert, Prof Datuk Dr Mohammad Shatar Sabran said, another factor is because the commitment to the field is so high that it causes the individual to 'forget' about other things including marriage.

"Social theory also states that the feeling or desire not to be cocooned is a contribution to the occurrence of a scenario or situation where this person skips marriage even after reaching the age of 40.

"This is because when we get married, we have to make decisions and depend on our partner to make decisions. It is not as free as when we live alone," he said.

He said, the scenario of the 'dusk singles' happened because society in this country is more open than before.

"In the old days, when you reach a certain age like a man in his 20s who is not married yet, it will be looked at askance.

"Compared to today, the community is more open and views it as their own choice as well as sensitive matters to be discussed in public.

"Thus, those who have these characteristics are not pressured to find a partner even if they reach 40 years of age and above," he said.

Mohammad Shatar said, in terms of his theory, an individual will achieve attraction to a different gender when he reaches the age of 25 for men and 23 for women.

"Usually when we reach this age, we have sexual (desire) that will reach the maximum. That's when we want to get married or something," he said.

He said, at the same time, individuals who marry late also have to deal with some implications.

 

Don't give up

Men and women who have not yet found a partner need to accept the qada and qadar determined by Allah SWT.

Sultan Idris University of Education (UPSI) psychologist and counsellor, Associate Prof Dr Fauziah Mohd Saad said, they should also not give up on finding true love.

"First of all, from a psychological point of view, he has to accept it. They have tried and tried, but still haven't found a match. So, he has to accept it.

"If he doesn't accept that, it will disturb their mental health. He will differentiate his life with other people like other people have children, I don't have children or people have wives and my husband is not there.

"If the matter is always questioned, it will start with mild depression and will eventually become serious due to being depressed by seeing other people's lives and feeling that their lives are not perfect," he said.
