Indian parents and flexibility
May 29th, 2010 § 13 Comments
In India, we grow up knowing the fact, we’ll have to get married. While we dream of a love marriage, our parents dream of an arranged one. With changing times, parents are changing as well. And older you get, more flexible they are.
Here are the stages parents go through with your age.
You are Below 22 – Its plain ‘No Love Marriage’ phase. Parents are usually like “No Love Marriage. You’ll marry the guy we choose for you”
You are around 24 – It’s Same caste Phase. They go like “We don’t care about love or arrange marriage, as long as guy is from same caste as ours.”
You are around 26 – It’s Caste No Bar phase. They change to “Hell with caste. As long as guy is from same religion as ours.”
You are around 28 – It’s Religion No Bar phase. They now tell you “As long as guy is Indian, we have no issues”
You have crossed 30 – It’s Nationality No Bar phase. Finally your parents have given up all hope. “Just get married. We want to see you settled. We don’t care who and from where.”
love it!!!! and well sooo true
Which phase are you in?
Last one… My folks have given up on me
lol. is there a gender no bar stage as well?
Of course not. We are Indians. We don’t believe in Homosexuality
Question: would the age ranges be the same for males?
Add 2-3 years to starting point for Males age
Well then, the answer is clear. You MUST wait until you’re at least 30 to get married.
That’s probably a good idea anyway. The marriage will likely be more enjoyable.
Well.. I have done so.. So let’s hope it turns out to be ok
there is also ‘Just Get Married to opposite sex. Prove us that you are not gay’ phase.
Last one is anywayz more like ‘just get married’..
Ha Ha! So true!
