"It's okay as long as she has a child" - These 8 words weigh every woman's entire life in a single scale.
**1. Personal Stance on Aging Without Offspring:**
For me, growing old without children is not a crime, it's a choice. The problem is not not having children, the problem is judging people. I have seen my aunt - 4 children, yet she is alone in old age because everyone has settled outside. And I have seen my professor - no children, but 500+ students who come to visit her on Eid. The peace of life does not come from the number of children, it comes from the quality of relationships.
**2. Define "Aging Well":**
Aging Well for society = "Let the daughter-in-law bake bread, let the grandson play in your lap". That is, your respect is not from your existence, but from your "productivity".
For me, Aging Well = the freedom that even at the age of 60, I can go to the mountains, join a painting class, or just read a book in peace in my room without any guilt. For me, old age is not a punishment, it is a reward - to live a life of my own choice.
**3. Common Saying/Belief:**
"It has been 3 years since we got married, when will the bells ring in the house?"
This sentence is every married woman's favorite torture. Just like a woman's house becomes "home" only when a child cries. My house even resonates with my cat's snoring, isn't that a cult?
**4. Societal Assumption:**
The most dangerous assumption is that "the one who doesn't want a child is incomplete, incomplete". People immediately assume that there is either a medical issue, or the husband is not accepting, or she is hungry for a career. No one thinks that maybe she is not ready to take on the responsibility of this world, and this is also a responsible choice.
**Attachment Explanation:**
When I hear "It's okay as long as she has a child", the word that comes to my mind is: JUDGED.
So I made a scale. Society puts every woman on this scale. On one scale, the whole woman - her education, dreams, hard work, love. On the other scale, just one word: Child. And they say that until the second scale is heavy, the first scale is useless. My symbol says: Your scale is wrong to weigh a woman. She is already whole, no one else's weight is needed to prove it.
