*In my experience and maybe opinion, these mums pressure the marriage fixers to get them an "appointment" with so and so to go see their daughter and then they sit there asking questions, finding out family history etc etc, dropping a few things in about her status etc *
they have to ask questions, think of it as an interview, has the interviewer not seen your resume? but what is said or written down needs to be verified, and an interactive discussion rather leads to other points, you can go in different directions in your discussion to be sure. Its due diligence and nothing wrong with that.
The chai parade is the way many rishtas take place, I am not a fan of the practice, but if it happens, why should questions not be asked,
and then at the end they say "Allah ki marzee" or "We'll let you know".....
Yes, I know the decision can't always be made there and then, but hey, what's the harm in just wishing each other well and leaving.......the answer in my experience usually goes through the marriage fixer anyway..................
and what is 'wishing well' in your view. You do not want to get anyone's hopes high or give them a false reading. In many cases the decision does not rest with the mother anyways, she may go and give her report to her son and he may say no for whatever reasons, no matter how much the mother likes the girl and the family.
I really dont see in this case what the lady could have done, she gave compliments to teh girl, to the family, and left while leaving the door open
**I know there will always be a "3rd person" the person who makes rishteh their job, and they will get sawab for it, but the mum's who pester for a meeting and then say, oh we didn't want a girl who was educated/working/from Pakistan/that age......DUH you find all that out BEFORE you go to the meeting!

yeh, its an excuse then, we did not want someone who wants to have a career or what nots. Its a white lie and obviously each side knows it is an excuse. The real reasons may not be pallatable. How would one like if the lady said no on the spot or something like
1) girls picture was older, she has gained 40 pounds since then
2) we were not told the correct information about the family and they just will not fit in they are too burger/westernized/backwards/cheap/
3) The mother seemed like a nag who would interfere in her dauhter's life and that is something our son is not going to like.
hey I am all for honesty, but I guess in these cases letting ppl off the hook and not saying something to hurt them is a nice thing.
