Marya mentioned being open to dating and marriage in a July 2021 interview but also revealed that she regretted getting married at such a young age.

“I’m not wishing but I’m open to it if the right person comes,” she said.

“Marriage is not an achievement in life, just that it is overrated. I woke up this morning with so much to do in my mind and I just remembered I got married at 23, yes yes! 23 l don’t know what I was thinking!”

She added that she had wasted time fulfilling societal and human expectations of her as a wife, and would be further along in life had she not been married.
