Re: Sever Consequences
I don’t think (if they r religious) that it wud be frowned upon, bcos she is not married yet and can change her mind i suppose…however, in our culture it mite be…as ppl see the engagement as a big step and now it’s all set, ur just waiting for the wedding day to arrive…it has happened to two of my cousins, one guy and one girl…with the guy, it was his fiancee who broke it off. Supposedly cos she was tired of waiting for him to stand on his feet and she fell in love with someone else…the worst part was, that this girl was his cousin! He was heartbroken, but hey, life goes on…and then my girl cousin (who was also engaged to her cousin), their engagement was broken off mutually cos neither one of them wanted to leave the country they were living in…well a few yrs went by, and my cousin (the girl) finally realised she had a great rishta and that she wudn’t mind moving to that country afterall, so today they r married lolz…so i guess it depends on the family…it’s not a joke to start a relationship, esp. when it’s arranged so of course the families will not take it lightly when it is broken off…it’s always a sad thing.
