A Ghanaian lady has advised single women in their 30s to resist societal pressure to get married.

She said single women must take their time to carefully choose the right partners for themselves and not be bothered by pressure to marry early.

Speaking in a TikTok video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the young woman, whose name has yet to be confirmed, suggested that marriage is not the most important thing for women.

Quoting Mathew 19 from the bible, the unidentified woman said not everybody would get married so women should not be bogged down by pressure to settle for men below their standards.

"Dear single ladies in your 30s, don't let society pressure you into marrying anything and anybody just like that because you are single. I'm telling you, be careful. Most at times, those people who are pressuring you to get married are miserable themselves. They don't have the freedom that you have," she said.

"It's okay to be picky, it's okay to have standards, I'm telling you, we don't care if you are getting old, it's okay. Mathew 19 says not everybody will get married," she added.
