Saying “I’m not ready” at 25 sounds modern, sounds bold.
But truth be told? Cute in theory. Disaster in practice.
Marriage has a natural timing. It’s like sowing seeds, — if you miss the window, you don’t just lose time, you lose the crop itself.
1. The Batch Nobody Waits For
In Marwadi chowks, Babosa-Baisa would faint if a child declared: “I’ll start Class 1 at age 10.”
By then, classmates are doing CA and he’s still on Ka se kabootar.
Marriage also runs batch-wise. Delay it too much, and you’re out of sync with your whole samaj.
2. Luxury vs. Leftovers
Imagine Indian Railways. You skip the express because “I wasn’t in the mood.”
Left with late-night passenger trains — overcrowded, no seat, long delay.
In samaj, good rishtas = express trains. Delay = sleeper class adjust karo.
3. Mood Swings vs. Departure Gates
Reality check: the plane doesn’t care about your feelings. Once gone, even Air India won’t wait.
Same with shaadi — rishta flight ka schedule hota hai. Miss it, and next flight… wrong destination.
4. Today’s Market, Tomorrow’s Scraps
“I’ll marry when I’m ready.” → That’s like saying, “I’ll buy vegetables at midnight.”
Guess what? The market is closed.
Marriage market is the same — Alphonsos sell out in season. Delay = karela.
5. Seasons Don’t Accept Excuses
A farmer in Marwad never says, “Not in the mood to sow this year.”
Skip the season, skip the harvest.
Marriage too has a season. Push it beyond the natural window, and the shine, the sweetness, the options — all fade.
6. The Clock Is a Ruthless Editor
Think of Jain rishtas like Insta stories — they expire.
Choices reduce with each passing year. By the time you’re “ready,” the story is gone.
7. Perfection is the Oldest Scam
“I’ll marry only if I find the perfect one.” → Translation: Netflix buffering forever.
By the time the screen loads, the show has been removed. Bro, even iPhones have compromises. Expecting perfect in rishtas = endless buffering.
And if you say “Main apni marzi se karunga,” remember: even jalebi tastes khatti if eaten 2 days late.
Bhai, Marwaad mein perfect toh bajra bhi konhi mile, dhani-lugai kahan se milega!
8. The Aisle Nobody Brags About
“I want to focus on myself first.” → Sure. But when you return at 35, the samaj’s biodata market will resemble a clearance rack.
Unless you’re on Jain Bazaar’s top subscription package — pun very much intended.
9. The Sum That Never Adds Up
In Jain community life, shaadi is not just two people. It’s family, tradition, dharmic continuity, and social balance.
Delay it too long, and:
- The best partners are taken.
- The remaining choices are fewer, often mismatched.
- Worst-case — the flight is gone forever.
10. The Pause Button That Doesn’t Exist
Dear Jain Zee, marriage timing is not about “Are you ready?” It’s about “Will the community still have choices for you?”
Young Jains at 25: Remember, shaadi is not Netflix — you can’t keep clicking “remind me later.”
Trains, flights, farming seasons, Insta stories — all scream one truth: RIGHT TIME MATTERS.
And remember — rishta wali maasi’sa is faster than Indian Railways. Tumhari “I’m FINALLY ready” wali speech sunne ka unke paas time nahi hai.
So shaadi ka waqt hai toh kar lo. Nahi toh baaki sirf karela aur regret.
