In a remarkable challenge to long-standing social conventions, social activist [Ulfat Aara Jaan] has broken the taboo surrounding the “age order” of marriage. When her younger sister was ready to begin a new chapter, [Ulfat Aara Jaan] chose to support and celebrate the wedding rather than delay it until her own.
This powerful act directly confronts the widespread belief that younger siblings must wait until their elders ,especially elder sisters marry, a practice that has often caused unnecessary pressure and emotional strain within families. By prioritizing choice and readiness over rigid hierarchy, [Ulfat Aara Jaan] has opened a conversation about dismantling traditions that limit individual freedom.
Her decision is being hailed as a progressive step forward—one that encourages families to value happiness and personal timing above outdated expectations.
Her decision wasn’t just about family ,it was about breaking barriers for countless others who feel trapped by the pressure of “what people will say” .
This act of courage reminds us that marriage is about companionship and choice ,not a race bound by age .
Let’s applaud those who dare to questions unfair norms and create space for healthier ,freer futures.
