Temptation for big money & high society life is spoiling urge for parenthood

New Delhi: A bizarre trend is catching up in the new age marital life of India. DINK (Double Income No Kids) is the name of a stink that is messing up with fertility.

As lure of lucre is becoming be all and end all of a conjugal life, urge for motherhood among career women is at its lowest ebb.

In the hot career pursuit, a large number of people all over the country including in Delhi are attaining the age when parenthood becomes difficult as they lose their fecundity.

DINK couples delay and put the idea of having bundle of joy on the back burner till they amass lot of wealth and wherewithal to indulge in high life. They are part of the popular culture, infiltrating to India from West that puts carnal pleasures and joys of sex far above the happiness of motherhood. A growing number of career women are being found visiting assisted fertility clinics in India in their late thirties and forties.

Though some Hollywood heroines sporadically flaunt their baby bumps, as if celebrating motherhood with élan but the urge for parenthood in high society where they come from, is now only skin deep.

The growth of the DINK is reflecting the lives of thousands of those couples who choose to be childless in pursuit of their career ambitions. A shallow lifestyle embodied by DINK adds nothing to the propagation of the race and family line. Hence, they are contributing towards a major decline of the civilization that has set in.

Though a common phenomena in the West, a developing country India too has been prejudiced by the DINK’s trend. There are varied reasons why some married couples in metropolises choose not to have children.
