i personally think when two people get married its not just two people but two families that are getting together and they have to mesh ... and this meshness is not based on the kind of jobs they have or education but the kind of social and cultural values they have ... so if the values of both the families are the same then i say go for it ... otherwise think about it once more ... i mean if the grl is so perfect then i probably wld still go ahead with it
Agree with this statement totally. On it's face, the guy's parents seem dare I say "shallow" in the characteristics they do not like in the prospective bahu's family - but at the end of the day, the relationship is between two families and if there is a different mindset/value system between the two - then it's better that they admit that right now rather than talk down to the other family later.
I'm surprised that more of you haven't come across the mums who say, "hum sirf Defense wallay gharanay main apni beti/beta ki shaadi karangay - woh hamaray jaise log hain".
The Defense wali/waley bahu/damaad may make their life miserable, but they measure people by a different standard...
