Ok so let’s say you do what NomiCA says and tell them that your daughter isn’t ready…but I’m talking about the initial approach.

Suppose one fine evening, you’re having chai and these good friends of yours ring the doorbell and come in with a big smile. You welcome them and have chai together, and just when you’re about to take a bite into that crispy samosa, your friend says: “Today we’re here with a proposal. We’ve been thinking about this for a while and we’ve known your family for years. Nothing will give us greater pleasure than having your daughter as our bahu.”

Will the aloo fall out of the samosa and drop on your floor, or will you take the bite, swallow and smile? What would you say if you really can’t imagine this happening…chances are that you too have thought about this situation before and have secretly hoped that it would never come up?

Or will the aloo get stuck in the throat?

There are many excuses to make:

1. Sorry but I am looking for guy from India/Pakistan(incase you are living abroad)

2)Sorry we are looking for a proposal from abroad(Incase you are living in india/Pakistan)

3)Sorry we have had a discussion about her marriage and she says she is not at all prepared and wants two more years.She has applied for a scholorship with x and y university…

If I were in your position,Madam,I would tell them openly that we do not prefer to have this alliance.Ultimately it’s our (your) daughter’s life and if you do not find something not right with they guy,.what’s harm in telling them?Indeed ,if they are sensible enough they will understand it and will make the necessary corrections.
