Actually it may be awkward but not silly.
Time has changed, 20 years ago as long as we find a KALA Bhoot or Langoor with good earning potentials for our sisters/daughters for them they would never question us (may be grateful also). And they willing spend the like at their as glorified NoukRANI (fooling themselves as RANI) for life.
But now young peoples aspiration has change, there is so much emphasis on personal / mental compatibility, it is very hard for someone else to make a decision.
It would be more comfortable if my girl come and tell me about someone, and i restrict myself to do proper due diligence and give my verdict.
