marriage pressure
Family nudging ringward
Marriage pressure is social or familial expectation that someone should marry, typically by a certain age or life stage.
It often comes from parents, relatives, or cultural norms: My mom's marriage pressure is relentless—she asks about grandchildren every phone call.
The pressure intensifies at family gatherings, weddings, and milestone birthdays.
