From the Paper:

"Singlehood is often seen as a transitory stage of life that ends with marriage. Young people are frequently rushed into marriage by outside forces such as parental pressure and socio-economic necessity. In recent years the stigma attached to singlehood has diminished somewhat, and the perceived benefits associated with marriage have also diminished. However, even in today's society being single is not easy. Economic difficulties may predominate for the young, but as one ages social and parental pressures increase."
