Marriage.

As I grew older, and moreover now studying at a place where early marriage is a thing where all the girls excited to talk to, well, most of them, you can feel the vibe of competition slightly in the air.

It's like,

"Oh, you're still single? Never mind, your time will come."

"Wait what, you're considering getting married at the age of 26?? That's like, too old."

"Ah it's nothing serious, he's just, a boyfriend-- but who knows, I mean, if Allah destined us for a marriage then alhamdulillah. Haha."






WHAT HAPPENS TO GIRL POWER? I mean, gosh. For your information, I am the Head of Dakwah and Training of my mahallah (hostel), so as the Head I need to organize a few events. Since I'm in the D&T bureau, naturally I'd want to do a religious talk.



BUT NEVER HAVE I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT LOVE. AS IN MARRIAGE.

What why?? What happened to our generation nowadays? When I tried to suggest about other topics, they said that it's boring enough and they're afraid that NO ONE WILL COME. JUST  BECAUSE IT IS NOT ABOUT MARRIAGE. PRECISELY, EARLY MARRIAGE.


God, what happened?? Seriously though. I am so ashamed to be recognized as that one girl who's from that one generation who only knows about relationship stuff and spouse thingy and have no single clue nor idea about the big issues going on in this world.


Probably I'm exaggerating, but it's true. U have to admit it, if not just look around you, how many of them would be interested to join your discussion if you're talking about hows your marriage reception is going to be like and whats the most important thing to find in a husband or wife and how many kids are possible for you to have in the future before Qiamat.

Ha.

Then compare to the number of people who'd join you if you suddenly wanna talk about the case of Rohingya's status refugee in Malaysia and how is that even possible since Malaysia's economy is going downwards lately or maybe about Mesir and its never ending political issues, whether the religion is truly the problem or the politicians are the ones who are messing it all up.

I'm so sad. It feels like we are never going to be treated seriously if we only showed ALOT OF interest in simple and lay-back issue than the serious and factual ones.



I'm not saying that there's nowhere in me that adores marriage, are u crazy?? Its sunnah. Of course I'd want to get married, one day. Not now. Nowhere near now insya-Allah if its within my power. I dont want to use the excuse of me being a wife at the early age (IF I GET MARRIED AT A YOUNG AGE LIKE 21) to cover up my lack of knowledge of the news and the world.

Ok. Had a lot of time to rant apparently (padahal tak start buat assignment lagi kuang kuang kuang), signing off for my next class!

Love, book
