SPECIAL REPORT | Next time you see an unmarried person, please refrain from asking why he or she is still not married.

This can be a very sensitive question for most unwed people, with more behind the answer than what usually meets the eye.

While staying single may be a conscious choice by some, for others it may be a matter of not having found the right person, or other similarly vexing predicaments of the modern world.

That makes it difficult for many who seek love and long to settle down in marriage.
