Would your family/you reject a rishta if the person had a health condition?

It definitely is an issue with some people, maybe even most people. I’m guessing the risk of rejection is significant in an arranged marriage scenario (as in arranged set-ups, introductions). People may be turned down right off the bat. Have a family friend who has type 1 and apparently she’s been rejected because of it for some time now. The earlier you develop it, the higher the risk of complications throughout life. This includes pregnancy. Maybe women with Type 1 are judged more harshly, especially when the female eligible pool is larger, and men have the option of shopping around and getting everything on their “list.”

Considering the rate at which people can be picky about height, the size of your nose, complexion and so on in our society, diabetes is considered a big compromise in comparison.

Wow, that is depressing to read. Why would someone get rejected based off something they cant control AND can be controlled?

Yeah, her mum mentioned it herself, prob thought it was best to be upfront rather than us hear about it from other ppl..

Good idea, although did you guys eventually see how she is? As in, was she at a normal/healthy weight or still had a post-Anorexia body?

Similarly, I know of a family in our distant relatives who had the bride divorced because she hid the fact that she broke her leg before marriage.

WHAT? Was the girl’s leg okay at the time of the rishta? Like, she didn’t limp or anything? And plus, they had married them off to begin with so there couldn’t be an obvious signs of damage, right? If so, why the heck would they get DIVORCED? Urgh.
