Assalamualaikum Auntie, 
I am a Larkana-based student currently pursuing a bachelors in English at Sindh University. Being from a very poor family, I started teaching at a very tender age and now I run a private school in my neighbourhood.

My mother is always anxious for me to get married and keeps saying that she wants to see me tie the knot. She believes I can manage a married life because I have a school, but I don’t think so. This is because, in life after marriage, one is bound to do certain household chores, besides attending to other responsibilities which come with a married life. 

I have tried my best to convince my mother in this regard but to little avail. I have told her that as soon as I get a government job, I shall marry as she wishes, but she is not ready to listen to me and keeps pestering me to pander to her whim of getting married.........
