Sister, marriage is highly stressed in Islam. There are many blessings & rewards for it which a single , practising Muslim can not get . Islam does not promote celibacy as it is the cause of many evils in society. Also, marriage is a sunnah of our beloved Prophet

. One hadith equates marriage to constituting half of one's deen. For a Muslim woman , pregnacy & raising good children are more rewarding that Jihad in the path of Allah .

Why would you deprive yourself of all these numerous virtues - both of the world & the hereafter for a little bit of duniya ?

Are you aware that the Shariah does not give permission to a woman to travel alone without any mehram for more than 3 days ?

If you're not ready for marriage currently, you can tell your parents not to look for you at the moment , but to look for you after 1 year..2 years...whenever. But , it's not easy to find a good marriage partner these days, so , I'd suggest you let them look, but explain to them gently that you will only get married after 2 years or whenever...

InshaAllah, when you get older your views on marriage & motherhood will change.
