Re: when rishta comes…
Given all that a guy has to go through (going by this thread), wouldn’t be too much too ask for a girl to be pretty with a good figure would it? Bank statements, eyesight checks, sperm counts (?!), wtf?
From what I’ve seen in Pakistan, discreet background checks are quite possible without actually getting someone to show their bank statements. I wouldn’t mind telling someone what I did for a living, or showing them degrees I have, but I hate it when people get nosy about your finances. Hell its hard to go to a wedding and not get asked by some distant relative ‘beta mahinay ke kitney kuma rahey ho’. I think it is pretty easy to judge someone’s standard of living without actually looking at their life savings.
