A woman’s social life is subject to the judgements of the people around her. There is not only societal pressure to marry at a particular age, but also familial pressure to have babies by a certain age. There are maternal psychological and biological factors that approve for early pregnancy, however, the societal pressure from relatives, family members and society on a woman definitely affect her. It is said that higher the age, higher the risk for pregnancy, but very few families are open to discussing the real reasons and actually fall in the trap of futile expectations of the society. Women are pressurized in a number of ways. In-laws manipulate them to fulfill their wishes as early as possible, they have to manage their career and maternal journey at the same time, they may have bodily complications or hormonal issues that delay their pregnancies, however they have to listen to the nuisance thrown at them. These are a few instances of how a woman is subjected to stress and pressure. No matter what, pregnancy is considered to be an accomplishment in this society and whatever a woman does, she has to face one or other judgement that may or may not be scientific but definitely questioning the rationale of the society we live in.
