If you are in india the emotional blackmail and the pressure to marry before 30 is a huge hindrance. In india a graduate has no real world knowledge when he gets out of college. It takes about 6 to 8 years to get the confidence in coding and creating something. But by the time the marriage is done and no way to take risk. To be honest the salary earned by women is like an additional income and never considered primary income in 99 percent marriages.
