Re: the rishta process- demands
Haha, we’ve never been into the family name or whatever. All I know is that apparently we’re bihari and my parents did have a preference for someone from similar background. They were a bit against punjabis and pathan simply because we’d have massive culture clash. I don’t know a lot about the bihari culture either but according to my parents at least I’ve had some exposure to it. Personally it won’t matter to me because my family hasn’t even lived in “Bihar” for at least 3 generations now… ah well.
I’ve never heard the thing about being an only child before…if anything, I’ve heard people say that you should avoid marrying an “only child” or the “eldest son” simply because then there is noone else to look after the parents in their old age…either way, it’s disgusting and I don’t know how people get off saying such things!
