If you have been unlucky enough to have made it to the wrong side of 25, we're sure you may have received nudges from relatives and 'well-wishers' about getting married. And more often than not questions about the big 'M' come neatly wrapped in the garb of unsolicited advice which often sounds like threatening prophecies of mishaps, that are doomed to take over your 'unfortunate' single life.

To give a lighter take to the perils of marriage advice in India, and the innovative and downright bizarre excuses 'well-meaning' acquaintances shove down one's throat, Badlega India created a photo series that has young men and women pose with a collection of reasons Indians give to get married. From the strangely ironic, "you'll learn responsibility once you're married" excuse to the apocalyptic "your biological clock is ticking" excuse, people have said it all. And Badlega India is here to address just that.

If you've ever been the butt of an absurd conversation about marriage, this series will surely resonate with you. Here's some relatability at its best, and 14 of the darnest reasons to get married, which are totally valid according to quite a few.
