In response to a question about quitting a job and avoiding marriage under parental pressure, Acharya Prashant uses a sarcastic analogy. He compares the parents' advice, "If you want to quit your job, get married first," to the idea of taking out large loans from people before leaving a city. He explains that just as one can only get a loan while being a resident, the questioner is being advised to use his current job status to secure a wife before revealing his intention to quit. The speaker calls this a deceptive plan that would trap an unsuspecting woman. Acharya Prashant elaborates that this is a plan to 'cash in' on the job, where the job itself is advertised to attract a suitable bride. He notes that for many, especially in the middle class, a job, particularly a government one, is not just for a livelihood but is a primary tool for the marriage market. He refers to competitive exams like the civil services as a form of matrimony, as success in them is seen as a guarantee of a good match. He shares his personal experience of receiving numerous marriage proposals immediately after his selection in the civil services, and how those proposals vanished when he resigned, as he was then considered 'crooked'. He points out the logical contradiction in the questioner's desire for a free life while simultaneously adding a major liability like a wife. A person seeking freedom would aim to minimize their obligations, not increase them. The speaker suggests that if the plan were for the wife to work while the husband manages the house, it would be a matter of gender equality, which he would support. However, he suspects this is not the intention. He concludes that the issue stems from a regressive, middle-class mentality that perpetually traps individuals in cycles of social obligation, preventing them from ever being truly free.
