quite meaningless discussion going on.
so the guy has a drinking problem and rest seems to be fine,
everyone of us has a bit of a problem we are not all saints here even your sister might have a problem or more.
lets be realistic,
is there a guarentee for all the other "rishta's" coming on the way, to be completely flawless?
It's not just the drinking problem, it's all the other problems caused by the drinking problem.. like pre-marital relationships, drunk driving, arrests, etc. There's no guarantee for future rishtas of course, but that doesn't mean settling for something this bad.
And yeah if the tables were turned and the girl had even one of these flaws, would anyone consider marrying her?
Thanks for your opinion though.
