 Concept of Marriage in Pakistan Regarding Pride and Prejudice Novel

"Pride and Prejudice," a domestic novel by Jane Austen, is focused on the idea of marriage. This literary work illustrates how closely marriage and wealth are intertwined. The first line of Jane Austen's novel makes it plain that the 18th-century English society associated wealth with the institution of marriage: "It is a truth widely acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a large fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Additionally, the five varieties of marriage that have been described in this novel—one pre-existing marriage and four subsequent marriages—highlight various facets and preferences in matrimony. These marriages have also been documented in Pakistani contexts. As a result, the origins of marriage in Pakistan can be traced to England in the eighteenth century. Although civilization has advanced, marital problems are still very fundamental and historically rooted.

People in this modern day used to think like people in the past and would try to find their daughter’s high-class gentlemen. This is due to the possibility that their daughter will be content in a wealthy community and will have a good reputation.

Additionally, just like in the past, a bachelor's financial stability affects marriage. The most significant pattern in early history was that ladies themselves wanted to wed a wealthy, handsome, and gentlemanly member of high-class society, and this trend is still prevalent today. So far, a man's age has no real bearing on anything, and people solely consider prosperity in an economic sense.

Furthermore, it seems extremely basic in today's society that there should be at least a 5 to 10-year age gap between marriages, and occasionally more. Similar to today, the seventeenth century faced a similar situation, where men's riches and better social position were the focus rather than their age.
