For example, if you entered the celebration ritual like a wedding, you should pay congratulatory money obligatorily. However, there are no events for single people, so they cannot be paid back. This is the reason why single people are suffering from a culture centered on married people. So, many people argued that these marriage-centric culture like mandatory congratulatory money should be changed.
