@gudiaali

there are men who are very fair but are not attractive and there are men who are dark as dark as Jaysuria of Srilanka but are extremely attractive and handsome.

same goes for the girls too.
but my question is why is it a must to have either one of these to get married. like why should a guy be fair and attractive and if not fair then at least attractive to be on a marriage scene?
and why girl has to be fair and if not fair then must be charming/attractive to get married??

First time i am hearing someone compliment Jaysuria for his looks. That make me feel happy. :)Everyone has some beauty. I don’t know why fairness or attractiveness is something we need to get married. Why can’t we choose people on how religous or spiritual they are, on their personality and on how much they value and respect us. What if a wife/husband has accident and their looks change or they become darker for some reason, will you leave them? no you won’t. Marriage is forever and you marry becaue you know you want to spend the rest of your life with that person and then also build a family with them. Only their mind, behaviour and actions shoulld matter
