Philophobia (n) : the abnormal, persistent and unwarranted fear of falling in love. This affects the quality of life and pushes a person away from commitment. It is most common in females than males because they are specifically told not to pursue love. Most of the time they are set up for arranged marriages and / or forced marriages by the family who believes that the candidate of one's choice isn't good enough for them and that they should marry the person that has already been selected for them. The worst aspect of philophobia is that it keeps a person trapped in solitude.
