Re: Arranged marriage - question for people who went through?
Usually, once us girls hit the age of 22.. graduated from college etc our parents throw the "proposal" bombs around.. dont let it bother u..
if your decided that u want to go for ur masters degree do it.. but let them look.. it wont hurt.. the process takes a lot of time and that way u can start ur studies and stay in the downlo.. it took my parents a whole 2 years before they came along a good enuff rishta to introduce to me.. my conditions were pretty steep too.. and he was the first person to say that he had no problem with anything i put forward..
its true that studies take a back seat after marriage but it totally depends on ur husband and his family.. so make sure u clear things with him about ur plans regarding ur education.. waiting a yr or 2 is easier said than done and usually its the guys' side tht likes to get the process going fast!
dnt worry though! do what u have to do.. and let ur parents do what they want to do.. in the end it is ur choice really! Good luck
