Is it too much to ask?

I believed that we had the right to make anything happen in our lives until I saw the life of "someone". 

We have successfully finished our placement hangama recently, which was quite stressful. Most of my friends landed in good companies, while some decided to go for further studies. Everyone is planning something for the future and their career except that one extremely talented person, who cleared all the placement exams that she wrote. She could not decide her next step because her parents would not allow her to work in any MNC. They want her to marry and not shift to a new place for her job. That does not mean they don't love her. They love her so much that they don't want her to face any trouble or stress. They want her to relax all her life and enjoy herself to the fullest after marrying someone. I didn't give much thought to this kind of love until I heard that her brother will study at a university. The university is in another state and their parents are absolutely fine with it. Does love for boys and girls differ? How is this justifiable?

I could not accept this even after convincing myself with different reasons. I want "that someone" to grow and achieve all dreams rather than just marry someone. I do believe she wants that too. I can understand her situation too, but somewhere deep in my heart, I can't accept such a decision of her parents. They want to ensure a safe environment for her and protect her all their life. 

In this generation, the independence that women get helps to fight for their rights. This is not about money but freedom, confidence to make bold moves. We can meet new people and have different experiences, which help in understanding life and its true beauty. 

This is just an example of someone I know very much, I have tons of other examples as well. One of my friend's sisters cracked JEE exam and their parents didn't send her to a top college because they are worried about her. I visited slums as a part of our NGO activities and saw certain situations there. I am not the one to judge them nor blame them, but why not give them a chance to grow? Is it too much to ask? 

I am very happy at the rate that women are growing in various fields, there is a lot of improvement too. I have a lot of friends whose parents are more supportive and encouraging. And trust me my friends are amazing and always inspired me to learn and take bold decisions in my life. They did play a vital role in my ambitions and dreams.

If you could also relate to "that someone" and give a suggestion that can help to solve this issue, do drop down a comment. 

Maybe we should teach "that few people" who think restricting is love - "How to learn to Unlearn what love is".
