Re: Would you marry someone
I think what he meant was not only confined to STDs. To me it seems what he is trying to say is that if the parents are flippant about it and so is the guy…assuming he’s also flippant about premarital sex…then it’s not unreasonable to say that you have to tread with greater caution especially if this comes into conflict with your own moral belief system. Let’s say he doesn’t have STDs, and it’s very possible he may not have it, you’d have to ask yourself if you’re emotionally/mentally comfortable with his former relationship history and if he can handle a marriage. Now, this is not to say that those who have prior history cannot be faithful spouses. They can be dedicated spouses, however if their former history reflects infidelity or even consistent recklessness…it’s natural to be more concerned and hesitant. And to be honest, if a guy…even a Desi Muslim guy…who was not born out of wedlock and is a legitimate child of his parents…had a flippant attitude about his past relationships, I’d be concerned.
