Two of my mom’s siblings haven’t married. I think my mamoo is 40+ and my khala is 35+.

They had rishtas when they were younger but my nani was extremely picky. Recently my mom found them both very decent rishtas but my nani didn’t even open the door for them when they came to visit. I have a feeling that she doesn’t want my aunt or uncle to get married because my aunt does the house chores and my mamu makes the money. I think she is being selfish and doesn’t care how their lives will turn out later on. Everytime my mom tries to speak with her siblings, my nani takes the phone away right after they say hi/hello.

P.S. My aunt has an MBA but my nani won’t let her work. She says who will do the chores then.

This was also happening to some relatives and the eldest daughter was patient when her mother refused rishtas for her but did a coup when it came time for her siblings. Now all of them are married even the eldest who couldn’t have kids by the time she got married and managed to adopt instead. I think we’re all taught that our parents are right in absolute terms that no one thinks it’s okay to go against them. I hope your mamu, khala can fight to live their lives on their own terms. The cousin I’ve mentioned in my post above also let her mother break rishtas without even consulting her so I know it’s not going to be easy.
