Can’t Cope with My Younger Sister Getting Married First

09 January, 2024
Q Salaam! I am an unmarried girl. I am the eldest one in my family. I have been through a lot of painful experiences in my life until now. I have been in depression for several years and I have get counseling several times for my issues. I have wanted to get married since I was 20 and my parents only had started looking for proposals in my last year at university.

Now my sister's marriage is taking place next week. I am relatively a very soft person which I have no control of. What's hurting me most is that my young sister doesn't show any kind of sympathy or guilt about my situation. She only wants me to be happy for her entirely. She behaves as if she has no conscience. I don't have the strength to face the upcoming event and I am suffering day by day because of it. Please provide a suitable solution for me. May almighty bless you!. Jazakallah hair

Your situation is not your sister’s responsibility. 

Her happiness and excitement about her marriage is natural and understandable. Try to join her and celebrate it together. Surely, you would like to see her happy on your special day. 

 While you depend on your parents for marriage, you can take steps alone to get prepared.

How?
