They say a woman can't live alone, as if a woman is terribly reliant on a male till her death after 25! Why do they say that?
Why doesn't this society let a woman live alone as per her wish?

These are some old social norms in our society. But there are many strong independent women who are living alone. People should understand we need partners to share our life not to rule our life.
