Re: Compromises..
Well, call me conservative, Paindo, extremely-desi or whatever.
I am willing to compromise on all this but ONLY for a guy who derserves all this. He has to be highly educated, should be earning alot, should be from a very good family, should marry me for whoever I am, shouldn’t want me to bring him abroad, etc etc. If a guy is 100% perfect, I don’t mind compromising 
On a serious note, everyone has different reasons for their views. Here are my reasons for accpeting these conditions:
-
I don’t plan to take up higher education after marriage.
-
When you get proposals who want you to work after marriage (so that they can enjoy your income), you start liking people who stops a wife from working. At least they take the full responsibility of their wife and children. Majority of the proposals I get put a condition that I will continue working after marriage so that the guy can have a support in his income. This shows their greed.

And as far as living with in-laws is concerned, since I always lived away from my relatives, don’t have elder brother and sister and have lost my father, I really like this set up since I would love to live with all the family members. My thinking and preference might change once I experience joint-living.
