Why should you marry (and shouldn’t):Indian context

A man is perfect in himself
Unlike women
That he need not marry
So says my friend, single, whole.

But I was for marriage
I argued on the sense of belonging
And he blamed me for
Being an ordinary country lass1

Why does one marry I wondered
Confused, how does two aliens
Be companions for life and
Entwine their bodies in fondness! (to be contd.)
