Why I Can't Get Married

"Why I Can't Get Married" is a collective testimony, an intimate and sociological fresco
that gives voice to North African and Middle Eastern women aged 30 to 45, educated,
independent, spiritually aware but often alone. They haven't failed in life. Rather, it's
society that hasn't been able to keep up with them.
Through poignant confessions, sociocultural analyses, and psychological dissection, this
book reveals a profound generational malaise : that of a modern woman trapped
between yesterday's expectations and today's realities. She is neither submissive nor
rebellious. She is simply there, between two worlds that no longer understand each
other.
The book explores themes such as :
- Religious pressure misinterpreted ;
- The anxiety of the biological clock ;
- Unrealistic social demands ;
- The impact of the past, failures and injuries ;
- Absent, confused or resigned male models ;
- The injunction to compromise at the expense of oneself ;
- And above all, emotional loneliness in a hyperconnected world.
But this book is not a cry of anger. It is a cry of truth, an attempt to reconcile women
with their personal stories and to deconstruct the myth of the perfect marriage as the
sole purpose.
“Why I Can't Get Married” is also a call for humanity, kindness, and understanding. A
mirror held up to an entire society, pushing it to rethink its standards, traditions, and
hypocrisies.
This is a book for those who cry silently, for those who get looked at askance at
weddings, and for those who haven't given up on love but refuse to sacrifice themselves
for a semblance of love.
