So a girl back in India [second cousin], 24 years of age, works in a private company. The owner is a 48 year old gentleman, yes, twice her age, married once, divorced with no kids. His ex-wife ran away 4 years into their marriage and took a hefty settlement…don’t know the details. Anyhow, the guy never remarried and enjoys a great reputation in the community as a successful entrepreneur and pleasant personality overall.
Now my cousin has been working there for a couple of years and has always spoke highly of this man. A few days ago, he proposed to her and said that if she accepted, he would ask her parents for her hand in marriage.
The thing is that she likes him a lot, has no issues with his past and feels comfortable marrying him. However, she knows that her parents will not approve as she has tons of pending proposals at this time and really, she could soon me married off to a guy her age doing equally well for himself. So she doesn’t know what to do…she has not accepted this man’s proposal. She does not feel awkward at work as they aren’t at the same location everyday. But she does like him enough to say yes…yet her parents mindset is making her lean towards a no. By the way, she is the oldest of her siblings, and her dad is only 4 years older than this guy who’s proposed.
So she asked me for some advice and I was equally stumped. She will be reading this thread as a guest, so please don’t say mean stuff :D.
You are 24 and he is 48," Kiya ye khula tiizaad nahin?" and make sure your lips are pursed while saying that, otherwise it will not have the desired effect.
And i can guarantee she will come to a decision after this.
Probably she likes him because he is the only guy who has showed interest in her and/ or proposed her! She needs to get out and look sound..she will be over him sooner than later!
if she is not in ''love'' as they say........... its really simple......get the younger boy.......i mean.......why would you want to be an awkward couple and also risk pissing off your parents...?
Her take is that at least we’ll be starting off with some love for each other, I know him, and all that…whereas in an arranged marriage it would be a complete gamble. Then she goes to the other side that her dad will probably kill her !
But no seriously, if this girl has thought it through in a logial way that he is the ONE, not just 'omggg I loveeee him' than he's worth fighting for. And with a reputation like that, iA' i hope her parents come around with time. But she will have to fight big time.
But Nik Baji it's worth the fight for couple of months to be with a great man than a fight you're entire life, WITH YOURSELF, for giving up on something good.
