12 Women Share The Reality Of Marrying For Money
Recently, Charlie Kirk told a crowd of young women that they should reconsider pursuing an "MRS degree" when going to college — an outdated, sexist term popularized in the twentieth century to mock women who supposedly went to college just to find a husband. The thing is, in a society where women couldn't open bank accounts, buy homes, or build credit without a man's signature, in many ways, marriage was often the sole path to social and financial security. Even today, the gender pay gap persists, with women making on average just 84 cents to every dollar earned by men. And when women step away from the workforce to have children, they often return to lower salaries and limited opportunities — aka, the "motherhood penalty" — whereas when men become fathers, their wages increase, also the phenomenon known as the "fatherhood premium." In a culture that still rewards men as the default breadwinners and punishes women economically for doing the same work (or even tells them outright they should just pursue a MRS degree instead), it's not surprising that some view marriage as a financial safeguard. Not necessarily because they want to (despite the tired and often overused "golddigger" stereotype), but sometimes because they feel they have to. So, when someone on Reddit asked women who married "the rich one" for financial stability to share what life's been like now, it opened up a revealing and necessary conversation about the systemic pressures at play shaping women's choices. The answers highlight what happens when marriage becomes a form of economic survival — and, more often than not, just how often the tale unravels. Here's what they shared: "I'll speak for my mom. She thought she was marrying the rich one. My dad tried to talk her out of it. He even offered to pay her more than child support for her not to do it (not out of just who my dad is). That pissed her off and she married him anyway. I won't go into details about the stuff I went through, but he was not a safe person to be around. He was a big-time manipulator. He tied my mom up with 6 million dollars in debt. She had no idea until she wanted a divorce — that's when she found out he was putting his debt in her name for his failing businesses." "She ended up having to file for bankruptcy to leave him, but the divorce took years. He would constantly hire new lawyers just to keep the process going. She almost didn't make it out in one piece mentally. It's been a long road for her. She hasn't made the best decisions in relationships (I had to cut her out of my life for a while because of it), but after some very extensive therapy, she's doing much better."—Ok_Ad_5658 "My first husband was very wealthy. When we were dating, that was fun, and he loved to spoil me and treat me to awesome things. After we were married, he became very controlling and definitely used his wealth and money to control and assert his dominance over me. I became very anxious and cried all the time, went on antidepressants, and went to therapy." "I gave up my acting/directing career to be with an ex-partner, as I thought that I wouldn't succeed in my career, and I resigned myself to a life of normality. When I got dumped, the biggest thing that hurt was that I chose the safe path, and things still didn't work out. So the moral of the story is, don't give up your passions and career for a so-called 'normal life,' because when the worst happens, you're only left with yourself, and your previous skills and experience, and it can be hard to re-enter the workforce. I got lucky, and I'm much happier now pursuing the things I truly want." "I was engaged to the 'rich one' and got away. It was NOT WORTH IT. The abuse — physical, sexual, emotional, mental, etc. It was extremely lonely...I always remember being sad on vacation. I'm on an expensive vacation in a beautiful resort, where normal people would be thrilled. But instead I was miserable and alone and honestly pissed that our usual routines were on hold and therefore I was expected to be in his presence all day." "Do not do it. Life is too short for misery, and you deserve true love. Money is just money — it can come and go. Love and happiness are what life is about. People will say all day, 'Well, I don't pay any bills.' There isn't a bill in this world that costs more than my peace and happiness."—Born_Boysenberry4327 "A bit different. He became rich while we dated. We were both not working when we met. I was on leave from teaching after a death in my family. He had just moved to my city and was looking for work. He was a freelance graphic designer and landed a gig at a start-up company. This was around 2010, when mobile apps were just taking off, and things like Instagram were just coming out. Design after design, he won awards, and the company blew up because of him. Life was fun when there was money, parties, and award ceremonies. After a bit, drugs and drinking got in his way, he became more abusive, tried to kill me, and I left. He was fired and blacklisted." "I am highly educated and have a successful career of my own, but he had built wealth that was far beyond anything I'd ever make. We married young, when he was setting up his company. I encouraged him, and we had a close partnership for many years. Eventually, he wanted more and more control and wanted me to be more of a trophy wife, less of a partner." "My friend married a guy she did she was also looking for someone wealthy (she is also highly educated with a good job that could earn well). Honestly? I'm not sure how much of it was love for her or how much of it was wanting a kid before she got too old. I think she didn't really know ended up being very controlling. He wouldn't let her change anything about the house. She got pregnant and he was the least supportive partner you can imagine." "I met my ex in college. He was in a field that offered high incomes right after graduation, so while we were not rich we were very comfortable. He became very controlling and mean, and watched every penny I spent, getting upset if I bought an extra non-perishable grocery item because it was on sale. Mind you, he did not do any shopping or cooking. I waited probably too long to divorce him because I was worried about the big drop in income and stability. But I finally did it, and while it was tough financially for a long time, I was fine and so much happier without him." —YouMustDoEverything "My friend married the 'rich one' because he is rich and she is living out the 'If you marry for money, you earn every penny' phrase. There is also not an insignificant age difference, the in-laws are assholes, the husband is a tightwad, and the family business is in a somewhat volatile industry dynamic. But he's rich, so she doesn't have to work outside the home, so she sort of got what she wanted?" "This is not the same thing, but I didn't marry for love; I married my husband because we were good partners. He was financially stable enough that I could stay at home with our daughter, which I think we both wanted. I think we have a different kind of love for each other that has grown over time, but it's not a very romantic relationship, and I'm honestly happier than I was when I was deeply in love in the past." "It's worked out well. I didn't pick him just because he's rich, but I've been with men similar in habit and compatibility to him who didn't have as much money. It's nice not to have to worry about whether we have enough money to pay the bills. And we can vacation where we want because we want to, and not pick places just because they are budget-friendly. The kids can participate in the activities they want and won't have to pick a lower-tier college in the interest of saving us money or reducing their own student loan burden. I do work because I want to, but I don't have to work jobs I hate or hours that suck because we have the household financial security to weather the storm of temporary unemployment." And finally, "My husband isn't rich, but he makes good money, works really hard, is very responsible, and could afford to live on his own when we met. We got married for things other than money and love, but we do love each other. I was only 22 and I didn't go to college, so I wasn't financially stable in the same way. I worked and paid for everything I had and took care of my younger sister financially, but I lived with family and felt trapped. So it made sense getting married would help me, but the thing I wish I realized back then was not to become as financially dependent on him." "We had a rough patch, and I realized I didn't have anything or anywhere to go if we got divorced. I recently returned to school to get out of dead-end jobs and have financial independence/security. Overall, I think people should check both boxes by picking someone you enjoy being around and actually like, as well as them being financially stable."—corkblob Did you marry "the rich one" for financial stability?

Delhi: NDMC officials address 120 civic grievances at special camp
New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) officers on Sunday addressed over 120 grievances received at a 'Suvidha Camp' organised at the Convention Centre, Jai Singh Road, said an official. The Camp aimed to provide a direct interface between the NDMC administration and the residents of New Delhi, facilitating prompt resolution of public grievances, dissemination of civic information, and ease of access to various municipal services. During the Camp, the 120 grievances addressed by senior officers pertained to various departments, including Personnel, Civil Engineering, Horticulture, Public Health, Enforcement, Commercial, Tax, and Estate. In addition, hundreds of residents and service users visited the Camp to seek information on NDMC's civic services and ongoing initiatives. The unique feature of the Suvidha Camp was its face-to-face interaction model, allowing citizens to engage directly with department officials for immediate redressal of concerns, said the official. For issues requiring policy-level interventions, the officials provided clarifications along with the expected timelines for resolution. More than 100 officers and officials from 30 NDMC departments were present at the Camp, manning departmental help desks under the supervision of their respective Heads of Departments. This collaborative approach ensured that most grievances could be addressed on the spot, reflecting NDMC's dedication to responsive and transparent governance. To further enhance citizen convenience, NDMC has also launched the 'Jan Suvidha Portal', a digital platform for seamless, contactless grievance redressal. Citizens can lodge grievances, track their status, and provide feedback through the portal available at: Earlier, NDMC Kuljeet Singh Chahal announced that the civic agency had approved the procurement of 5 eco-friendly CNG Mechanical Road Sweepers (MRS) to combat dust pollution and enhance cleanliness. The existing fleet of MRS machines, deployed in 2017–18, has aged and is frequently out of service, severely affecting NDMC's ability to meet its daily cleaning target of 365 kilometres of roads, he said. Chahal stated that NDMC's Swachhta Division actively monitors air quality and reports data to agencies, including CPCB, DPCC, and CAQM. Under the National Green Tribunal's guidelines prohibiting new diesel vehicle registrations in Delhi, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has agreed to fund the procurement of these new CNG-operated sweepers. The Council granted administrative approval for the Preliminary Estimate of Rs 6.69 crore for the procurement through CPCB funding. This will ensure uninterrupted mechanised sweeping, significantly reducing road dust and enhancing cleanliness in this VVIP zone of the capital, he said.

Night sweeping of all NDMC markets by May
New Delhi: New Delhi Municipal Council has approved a proposal for buying five more CNG mechanical road sweepers (MRS) to undertake night sweeping in all markets and public places in Lutyens' Delhi by next May. It also plans to acquire a separate set of small machines and equipment for cleaning narrow lanes and common areas in 22 markets, which can't be covered by MRS. The equipment includes 10 litter pickers, seven floor cleaning machines, 10 pressure jetting machines and 10 water sprinklers. "To address worsening air quality and dust pollution, especially during the winter, the council approved the procurement of five new CNG-operated MRS.

A proposal will also be worked out for reviving non-performing assets such as restaurants at Lodhi Garden and Coffee House at Chanakyapuri in a time-bound manner after settling legal disputes. "The idea is to reopen them to the public. We are also working on plans for developing public-friendly places, including eateries," said Chahal. Other properties, such as Super Bazaar and Akbar Bhawan, will also be revamped, and NDMC is working on these plans. In the council meeting, members unanimously passed a condemnation resolution to mark the 50th anniversary of the imposition of emergency in India on June 25, 1975. The issue of non-vacation of flats even after the transfer of officers and non-transfer of flats provided under the inter-pool policy was also discussed. It was stated that the NDMC was facing problems in providing accommodation to its officers in Lutyens' Delhi.
