is it possible to decide someone is the one based on a few skype calls? if someones family was showing great amounts of interest actually conforming things over skype having never seen you in real life, is that odd? does this happen? to people meet over the net and decide without meeting that thats it, they’ve found that special someone?
is not this just a little bit absurd ?
Re: confusion
No it is not something that should be done. Oh it’s possible to make final decisions based a few online skype call, if we’re very, very naive and looking to be duped. Online marriages have happened, don’t get me wrong but before any big decisions are blurted out, you have to see the person in real life. It’s the first step to something and then the actual final decisions should be made in a practical manner after meeting in person several times because the in-person man is whom you’ll marry and live with for the rest of your life not Skype, online guy. You’ll actually get to meet in person his family too which you will be married to as well.
Re: confusion
It’s possible if the family has ulterior motives. But otherwise tt’s odd and should raise red flags. I don’t know any girl/parents in real life that agreed to a rishta without seeing the guy and his parents in real life at least once.
Re: confusion
It’s OK for initial conversation and to find someone you are interested in but the families and individuals should meet before anything is confirmed.
I am going to the US and meeting someone I found on an online marriage site with my dad. I only know the guy through a few Skype conversations and might not work out but it might. Unless meeting the person and knowing their values it’s hard to decide.
Re: confusion
It’s more than a little absurd.
Re: confusion
Slightly different - my now husband and I met numerous times in person before marriage, he also met my family.
His parents however only saw me on Skype and made the decision to go ahead with the nikaah without meeting me, based on their sons wishes.

so he had actually seen you in person? or had you met him online first aswell?
Re: confusion
This is fine and makes sense. But OP’s scenario is different. OP is talking about never meeting the guy AND his parents in person.
