I have had people shame me into staying home to “support” my ageing parents to tell me about all the dangers of living by yourself as a woman as if I don’t know them already. However, regardless of all these “warnings” I still plan to move out for reasons I choose not to disclose. But I cannot even imagine how hard it is for the women already living by themselves to “justify” why they want to live away from their families and get people to rent apartments to them. So when Twitter user Karnika Kohli tweeted about her experience with house hunting and all the absurd things she has heard landlords say, I could not help but talk about it. So let’s check out what are the pains and perils of being a single woman in India wanting to live by herself, https://twitter.com/KarnikaKohli/status/1523931848053002241?s=20&t=2uStu5jFf_Fw1kF5DS8RYg https://twitter.com/KarnikaKohli/status/1523931860388450304?s=20&t=2uStu5jFf_Fw1kF5DS8RYg Also Read: This Married Man’s Twitter Thread About His Single Best Friend Will Resonate With All Of Us Singles https://twitter.com/KarnikaKohli/status/1523931871872454656?s=20&t=2uStu5jFf_Fw1kF5DS8RYg https://twitter.com/KarnikaKohli/status/1523931885067509760?s=20&t=2uStu5jFf_Fw1kF5DS8RYg https://twitter.com/KarnikaKohli/status/1523931897646432257?s=20&t=2uStu5jFf_Fw1kF5DS8RYg Also Read: Chef Pooja Dhingraa Couldn’t Rent An Apartment Because She’s A Single Woman.

If a woman chooses to stay alone, I don't think she needs to explain it to anyone but herself.
