Is location of the potential spouse a deal breaker? Is it wise to refuse a good proposal only on the basis of where the potential spouse lives and that you’re not willing to relocate?
Re: Location : a deal breaker?
Some people don’t want to leave behind their parents and relocate to another country/city.
some don’t want to relocate if there are less career growth chances.
if i talk about myself, i have turned down few proposals because of the location even they were in the same city. So yes, for some it is a deal breaker.
Re: Location : a deal breaker?
Yes, Location is a major Dealbreaker for some…apart from the ones Gudiaali mentioned, Some places have bad reputations as well (Crime in Chicago or Detroit, if you live near Flint I would assume no one would want to move up there cause of the water contamination), some people might be more country/nature vs city folks. The weather..some people who grew up in hot climate don’t really want to move up north due to the cold and snow. Some people don’t want to move to California or Florida just because of Hurricanes and Earthquakes.
Also people who are career oriented would rather move to a place thats in line with their career goals. You can see that with a lot of Dr’s, lawyers or any career that requires certification, if they move they have to re-certify in a different state/country which is more work than its worth so they chose to stay. A chemical engineer will need to move to a state where there are refineries Calgary, Texas, California, etc…
Some have large family in the city, I see this a lot in Chicago and Toronto where all there uncles/aunties and cousins are in one area and they don’t want to move because of this…
Some times its just pay in general, I know a teacher in Canada gets paid several times more than a teacher in the states…
Thats why I found when it comes to searching for a spouse very rarely do people move, its best to find someone close to you because that is the easiest.
Re: Location : a deal breaker?
For many people the location is a deal breaker. But opinions change.
My in-laws for example had always said that they would never agree to a proposal that would result in one of their daughters moving outside of Pakistan. But they did accept my proposal for their “sab se laadli” youngest daughter and of course she moved to Austria after the wedding. 
Re: Location : a deal breaker?
I think finding a decent shareef family and boy is hard enough. Try to set the deal breakers to a minimum. I don’t know why people going through rishtas plan life as if it’s going to go exactly how they imagined. Things change with time. We don’t know what will happen in ten minutes let alone in ten years.

So, did you corrupt her with austrian values?
