Do you think that some of the girls today have set the bar too high for potential rishta’s? I have a cousin who is incredibly pretty and successful (sadly the pretty looks didn’t seem to reach my genes) but has not been able to find the “perfect” rishta yet. Most of her rishta’s are coming from well off families with guys in the same profession. She rejected one of the rishta’s because she felt the the mother of the guy talked too much even though she felt the guy was perfectly nice and attractive :S
She’s just one of the girls I know that are doing this, I know a few other girls that are now in their thirties and are still looking for “the one”.
I feel that you need to be careful when accepting a rishta, however being realistic is also very important. Nobody’s perfect… especially not the MIL-to be.

can you post your cousin picture & figure dimensions here. It will make it easy for me to answer.
how old is she? if she is young, she might feel she has a lot of time and is therefore taking it easy...she knows she doesnt need to hurry or compromise.

umm who cares if the MIL talks more or less? However if that is why she rejected the rishta then she will have a hard time finding the prefect one WITH the perfect family....needless to say 'perfect one' doesn't exist! I'm sure there must be other reasons for her rejection no?

Some girls yes but most i know just look for 3 important things in a guy: a suitable education with the means to support a family, decent person and family background. And this is just the bar at base level.
^she's 25 now, IMO she is still pretty young, I'm just worried she'll end up like the other idiots I know, for example: Her ideal man would be one without parents. Yes, that is why she rejected the rishta, she told me honestly why she rejected all the other ones, and those reasons were mostly about the guys themselves (drinking etc), she honestly didn't want a saas who talks too much.
I'll add to your list of important things to look for in partner, someone who prays 5 times a day.
Just some of the girls and a few of the guys as well.... :)
I think she has some growing to do... we all come down from our princess thrones sooner or later.
And about that talking bit, even I was concerned about this issue with a certain prospect, but in that case the whole family was very very talkative but it wasn't the reason i moved on from them... there were many other major reasons.
I think if u like the person then u shouldnt reject a rishta based on the guy's family. I liked my fiance... when he brought the rishta but i am not too fond of my MIL... but I accepted the rishta and i dont regret it :)
P.S. I always wanted to marry someone with no parents or siblings.. and my fiance has 2 brothers, 2 sis, mom, dad, 2 BILs, 2 SILs... and 5 neices and nephews... phewwwwwwwwwwwww....
