Re: Foolish desi marriage “rules”
I so understand we’re you’re coming from.
I really good desi friend of mine is a diplomat, always on her feet, jetting around the world here and there, mingling with world leaders…she’s my age coughthirty-somethingcough and she still isn’t married, nor does she want to get married YET as she’s too busy fulfilling her ambitions… her parents aren’t concerned either and they fully support her in her decision… but she had two younger sisters who had found their ‘partners’ whom they wished to marry… so as any parents with common sense would do, they got the two younger ones married… but the controversies that occurred/followed were unreal… there were so many rumours circulating…rumours that my friend was a lesbian 
, that she was barren, that she was this and that bla bla…
… such a stupid ‘unwritten rule’ especially in this case… if my friend’s parents took this rule seriously then the younger daughters would have had a heck of a long wait
