is it important to mention illness such as asthma? during the rishta process..if so how?
could not really mentioning anything and them finding out later make it look like you hid something ? and how bad does it look if you mention something like this really late in the process? by that i mean when people are very seriously considering you or have started thinking of the wedding etc
Re: illness
Declare everything there is worth knowing. If something you declare causes the rishta to go south then it’s better it goes south - rather than having to hold on to secrets.
Re: illness
asthma is a condition which can be controlled by medication and it does NOT alter the quality of life of the sufferer . so, medical condition, such as asthma, need not be voluntarily disclosed during rishta process. hiding a fact is NOT the same as z “not-volunteering” to disclose.
i think you should NOT volunteer to disclose your condition unless and until you’re specifically asked about it and that’s right time to tell.
Re: illness
The prospective rishta guy/girl should be informed about any chronic illnesses and conditions.
Not disclosing = hiding
Re: illness
Asthma is pretty common, I wouldn’t bother with that. But knowing how bat ****t crazy desi aunties are sometimes, I would mention it in passing without making it a big deal
Re: illness
Whether or not you or anyone else think Asthma is similar chronic health conditions are common/harmless/not-a-big-deal etc. are irrelevant. What matters is what the guy and his parents think in a arranged marriage situation. In order to not waste anyone’s time (including your own) and not hurt anyone’s feelings (including your own), it’s best to disclose ANY physical or mental condition that is chronic and will remain with your for the rest of your life. If the guy/his parents have a problem with it, it’s better to find out in the very beginning instead of getting taanay about “hiding it” for the rest of your life after the wedding.
Re: illness
Is texting the sister good enough. Like i have asthma btw 
Re: illness
Tell the guy directly. If this is meant to be he won’t care and things will proceed. Good luck 
Asthma is so common but you never know when and over what an aunty will flip.
Re: illness
No. The guy should be told directly either by you OR your parents.
Re: illness
Asthma isn’t a rare condition but you still have it. You should mention it to your other half as there may be times when you’re not feeling 100% healthy and they will need to be there for you/take you to the hospital in an emergency.
Any illnesses/medical condition should be shared with potentials, right from the beginning so that they can decide whether or not they want to proceed with the whole rishta process or not. Deliberately withholding this information is deceit in my eyes, as you’re waiting for them to get attached to you before you disclose, if you decide to disclose at all. Don’t be a typica Pakistani- do the honourable thing.
Re: illness
Its important to let all the important things known and medical conditions is one of them.
Having said that, I personally think unless there is some very major disability or life-threatening disease of a higher degree, its very insensitive to reject someone on the base of that. But again its my opinion only, others may have different view.
Fortunately, with all the people Ive spoken with on this topic, agree on the same notion that its quite low to reject someone for their medical condition.
Re: illness
you should tell him about it, but I don’t think it should be a dealbreaker unless it’s really bad.
Re: illness
If someone won’t marry you because of this, he is just not worthy of you.
Re: illness
It doesn’t matter whether it’s an illness or anything else that you would usually not disclose to the whole world: When you start the process towards a husband-wife relationship, the single most important factor is:
Absolute honesty and openness. There should be no deceiving or hiding anything from each other. In a relationship that is as close as that of husband and wife, the truth will come out eventually at some point, even if you are trying to hide it.
Re: illness
Give them a medical report of what you ever had or have. Since they are shopping, they need to know all the flaws in order to negotiate a better deal.
