Social media users have appreciated the Dr Khan’s decision, saying he has proved that age should not be a barrier to pursuing one’s desires and dreams.
Dr. Khan’s decision to marry at an age where most people think of settling into retirement or focusing on family responsibilities is a powerful reminder to those who wish to marry but hesitate due to societal pressures or fear of judgment.
Another social media user said young people should follow their hearts and not be discouraged by others’ opinions.
“If you have the desire and the means, there is no reason not to marry, no matter what others say. Lead your life with courage and don’t let trivial concerns hold you back,” the user wrote.
His bold decision resonates with those who may be delayed by life’s circumstances in pursuing personal milestones.
