No. Like someone said, it just shows that his parents have no confidence in his judgement, and quite possibily, him as an individual. And who would know this better than his parents? So from now on, you should probably look for that quality in your potential husband. But then again, what’s the point in marrying someone if he’s not gonna be influenced/emotionally blackmailed by others (mostly you), right? Yep, we hear you, nothing makes sense in this world anymore!!!
As a general thing parent swant what is best for their children but what they think is best isnt always the best thing...
Ill give a scenario that happened in one side of my family...girl got on with boy who knew her family...her family liked him him as well and they got on with his family...they did that whole bangle thing to signify an engagment...boy was happy and so was the girl...
Now came another proposal...a guy who lived abroad and was the son of a family friend...they judged it on the fact that hes abroad so her life will be better and hes more wealthy...so they broke off the previous engagement and the girl ended up getting married to the guy abroad...she didnt fight this btw...she just went with whatever her parents decided...
Now the issue isnt with caniving parents and evil parents...its just the way they judge things for me is slightly misguided...
Wealth and status are given far too much priority...so a lawyer is ultimately a better person than a schoolteacher for instance...and in terms of wealth they look for security for their wife and future grandkids but fail to realise that having the finanical clout to look after children and having the qualities to look after children and their daughter are a different thing...
Their selection processes are extremely superficial...also things like not marrying outside race arent always meant in a bad sense...they feel that someone from the same background will always be best for their child...sometimes i feel they can be slightly racist...cos iv seen pakis who dont feel the same when their son marries a white woman but would have had an issue if they married an 'uncivilised' black woman...
But in a nutshell parents arent devious in my opinion they are just superficial...things like love etc arent seen at the same level as the other things mentioned...but looking at western stats for divorce love is rarely able to carry a marriage by itself so to a degree maybe the parents get it right...
