Do Women Have the Right to Choose Who They Marry?

Good day, everyone. I would like to ask whether a woman has the right to choose the man she wants to marry. I once pursued my ex, but she told me not to pressure her because she had the power to choose. I disagreed with her at the time. I believed that a man chooses the woman he wants to settle down with and decides when to do so. What do you think? Should both men and women have equal freedom to choose who they want to marry?

Why should marriage begin with one person overruling the other? What does choosing freely mean to you in this situation?

Exactly. Marriage should be a mutual yes, not a contest where one person holds the final whistle.

Your ex asking not to be pressured sounds like she was clearly stating a boundary about a decision that affects her life.

Pursuing someone is different from having the right to decide for them. A man can express interest, but she still chooses whether to accept.

If marriage is the goal, discuss values, readiness, and expectations early. Mutual willingness should be the starting point, not persuasion.
