Culturally and socially, marriage is considered as 'primary
social institution' and every woman needs to be married in the society. Women
who remain single, either by virtue of their situation or fate, are considered
'abnormal'. Single women consist of
several categories as unmarried, widow, separated and divorced. It was found that the situation of 'other
categories of single women' is slightly better when compared to the situation
of 'unmarried women throughout their life', especially in the Indian context.
They are treated as abnormal, as they failed to conform to the norm of
marriage, and are also perceived to become 'problematic' in the society. There
appear to be many reasons for women remaining unmarried, like family
responsibility, financial constraints, high aspirations in spouse selection and
also being career oriented. The present book provides insights on problems of
the never married working women. This book attempts to explore and describe the
demographic profile of never married women and the difficulties they face in
their lives with regard to family relations and work context. Also, the book throws light on the kind of
treatment they get from family members, workplace and the society at large. The
book also delves on the levels of their life satisfaction, psychological
wellbeing and perceptions on their status in the society.
