This is with reference to the sentence in the article by Pratyush Raman: “If a woman is denied job over marriage, a man is denied marriage over job.” A man is never denied marriage over a job. It is just that he gets married later.

The writer has correctly emphasised the importance of being equally involved in maintaining a good relationship. But it is worth mentioning that in a male-dominated society as ours, exploitation of women has become a trend in some sections.
