Kolkata mein arranged marriage concerns sirf tum dono ka matter nahi hai, puri family involved hoti hai. Isliye approach bhi different hona chahiye.
Arranged Marriage Concerns
Arranged marriage — India ka OG matchmaking system. Par 2026 mein arranged marriage ka matlab "parents decide, tu accept kar" nahi raha. Aaj kal yeh ek spectrum hai — fully traditional se leke "parents introduce kare, baaki tum decide karo" tak. Par phir bhi, concerns toh hain hi. Aur tere concerns valid hain.
Sabse bada concern: "Main kisi stranger se kaise shaadi karun?" Valid hai. Par reality yeh hai ki even love marriages mein tum partner ko fully nahi jaante shaadi se pehle. Arranged setup mein tujhe consciously get-to-know karna padega — jo actually ek advantage hai kyunki tu intentionally questions poochegi instead of love ke fog mein rehke.
Important questions jo tu ZAROOR pooch — aur "achhi ladki" ban ke chup mat baith:
Career ke baare mein: "Shaadi ke baad main kaam karungi. Is that okay?" — agar isme hesitation hai, red flag.
Family dynamics: "Aapke parents ke saath rehna hoga ya alag?" — yeh question taboo lagta hai par ZAROORI hai. Joint family ya nuclear — yeh tera daily life decide karega.
Past relationships: Haan, pooch. "Kya pehle kisi ke saath rahe ho?" — agar honest answer aata hai toh good. Agar uncomfortable ho jaye ya lie kare — problem.
Financial situation: "Aapki income kya hai? Savings? Loans?" — India mein yeh poochna "greedy" lagta hai. Par financial compatibility marriage mein CRITICAL hai. Pooch bina sharam ke.
Values aur lifestyle: "Weekend kaise spend karte ho? Sharab peete ho? Travel pasand hai?" — yeh chhoti baatein lagti hain par daily compatibility decide karti hain.
Ek bohot important baat: Arranged setup mein "no" bolna tere haq mein hai. Agar rishta pasand nahi aaya — clearly bol de. "Achha ladka hai par mere liye nahi." Parents ko hurt hoga par yeh tera life ka decision hai. Pressure mein haan mat bol.
Common arranged marriage trap: Bohot kam meetings mein decision lena. "Ek baar mil lo, phir bata do." — Nahi. Kisi ko ek meeting mein judge nahi kar sakti. Minimum 5-6 meetings (alone, without parents hovering) ke baad hi kuch decide karo. Coffee dates, walks, phone calls — genuinely jaano ek doosre ko.
Aur haan — arranged marriage mein bhi love ho sakta hai. Bohot successful arranged marriages hain. Par woh success "kismet" nahi hai — woh effort hai. Dono logon ka effort. Toh agar tu arranged marriage ke liye ready hai, go in with open eyes, clear expectations, aur apni non-negotiables firm rakh.
Key Takeaways
- Arranged setup mein "achhi ladki" ban ke chup mat baith — career, finances, family sab pooch
- Ek meeting mein decision mat lo — minimum 5-6 meetings alone ke baad decide karo
- "No" bolna tera haq hai — pressure mein haan bolna regret ka guarantee hai
- Arranged marriage mein bhi love hoti hai par woh kismet nahi effort se aati hai
