I dont think there is anything wrong or gross with rishta karane waley aunties. Basically all they do is to introduce the families, what so wrong and gross about that? .. Its the same as if your family friend introduced you to another family who is also looking for a rishta.. no?
We have 3 succesful marriages in our family who happened through a rishta karane waley aunty. Basically what happened is that my mum went to look for a girl for her brother in pakistan (many yrs ago), but didnt find a good match on her own or through friends. So one of her friends introduced her to a rishta karane waley auntie. This auntie told my mum about potential rishtas and if my mum liked what she heard, she went ahead to meet the family. And all 3 times she has found great and well respected families .. and all 3 couples are happy and blessed with childrens MA.. what more can u ask for? ..
Exactly Sweetmoi... thanks for reiterating my point ... infact I feel sorry for those who think dating is the only good way to find a life partner ! and I feel even more sorry for those who think rishtay karaane wali aunties are all about the girl coming in front the of the boy with a tea tray !! buddies gone are the days ... wake up ..
anyways Sweetmoi, please would you be able to help me ? any chance you can tell me who the lady is ? and where abouts is she based ? I am specially keen to know coz you mentioned your mom had successful experience ...
many thanks mate..
