My parents still haven't accepted that I'm not even willing to marry at the ripe old age of 34.

Yes, I'm Indian. How did you know?

I don't think that's as Indian-specific as you think

Yes but we have a society wide peer pressure system called 'arranged marriage', which I'm fairly certain, is much more crazy and persuasive than any other community.

Not common in Western countries anymore but still is in many other countries.

Your initial statement made zero mention of arranged marriages. All you said wasn’t you weren’t willing to marry and that can apply to any culture.

Don't have to be.
