Things Parents Should Never Discuss At First Meeting Of Arranged Marriages

They say marriages are made in heaven... Well in India marriages are made and based on how much you can provide for the entire family. In an arranged marriage, there are certain rules and regulations for the couple to follow religiously.

It becomes a little bit tiresome when the parents get involved. In arranged marriages the first meeting is usually between the parents of the couple. The meeting can get a little strange because of the multiple questions that are thrown on the table. Parents of the couple should restrict their questions, especially if the couple is present among them.

Asking the in-laws if your daughter is going to stay with them is not a good idea and that too on the first meeting. Let everything settle for the couple, fix the marriage and then pop the question.

OOops, this is another mistake most parents make by asking the girl's folks if she is a virgin. Put yourself in their position and feel how they would feel, if asked.

Dowry should be the last thing on your mind. Though dowry is still asked in India, it is a wise thing not to bring up the topic and ask the girl's folks.
