While
some look forward to the day when they get to say "I Do" and daydream
about walking down the aisle beside Mr Right, some dread the very idea
of forming a perpetual union.

Saying the words “I do” could be very frightening for some women. The reasons, why women are scared of getting married, vary from person to person.
Below are five of them.
1. Emotional and financial insecurity
These can be argued as two major reasons any woman would dread the
idea of marriage. The tendency for the blazing fire of love between them
and their partners to dwindle over time scares women a lot.
The questions – Will he love me still when I get bloated from the
rigours of childbirth? What if some days we run out of things to say and
the conversation dries up? What happens if he becomes financially
unstable? – and much more worry many a woman.
2. Fear of commitment
Till death do us part! The thought of having to succumb to the
authority of a man, dedication to a long-term cause, giving birth and
raising children, keeping up with relatives and in-laws, taking care of
the home, the opportunities forgone to stick to one person; and
combining all of these with work, makes marriage seem scary to some
women.
3. Career pursuit
Some women are literally married to their jobs – so what’s the need for a man.
They dedicate more of their time to their profession and climbing
the ladder of success, often neglecting their emotional needs and those
of their partners.
For them, marriage will create a lacuna between them and work. Thus, they would rather remain single.
4. Fear of the unknown
Unarguably, the future is plagued with many uncertainties, and
nature or perhaps fate has forced the human to hope for the best but
prepare for the worst.The fear of what the future holds is a withdrawing force for women.
5. Risk of divorce
Some women, because of their not-too-good experience in broken
homes or the stigma attached to being a divorcee, would rather remain
single than get married and risk breaking up.
