^ 18 is too young to get married for many guys although there are a few exceptions to the generalization. Most desi parents would find their 18-year-old son's request for a rishta search to be incredulous. They'd urge him to wait until he has finished college and has a stable career. In a situation like that......unless the parents are very open-minded and understanding.......I'd imagine it would be VERY *uncomfortable/difficult/awkward for a teenage son to explain to his parents, *"Mom...Dad....this is a matter of urgency. I need to get hicthed for I am hella horny." I wouldn't be surprised if some parents silently arrive at this "conclusion" when trying to contemplate why their young son is in such a hurry to tie the knot. A guy in his mid to late 20's would feel weird explaining this.....it would probably be tougher for someone younger.
