Re: Great Rishta but Mom is Divorced
I mostly agree with what you’ve said khatti. However, in some cases, the parents’ past does provide a clue to their children’s upbringing. Case in point - my cousin married this guy whose father left his mom for another woman (they never got a divorce though the dad still lives with the 2nd woman). The father participates in all family functions and the mom still lives with her in laws. They act like nothing has happened. My cousin is now divorced because her husband too had an affair. Not saying he had an affair 100% because of his dad, but I’m sure the level of tolerance shown by his family for his dad’s behaviour had something to do with the fact that he found it perfectly acceptable to sleep with another woman.
However I don’t think that divorced parents should be a reason to reject a rishta. Sometimes parents separating is a much better envionment for a child to grow up in than a toxic marriage.
