I am the oldest daughter in the family, my twin sister being only 15 minutes younger than me. We were raised in a much protected environment, surrounded by aunts and few uncles.
For the majority of women living in a developing country, including mine, the older a single woman gets, the more her family and society pressure her to get married and start a family.
