Before marriage, people are mad for matching the kundlis of the girl and the boy...

But, more important is the matching of the medical reports...

Still in many countries like India, medical reports are not even checked before marriage..
The kids born out of that suffer from fatal diseases..

What is more important..??

Believing blindly in religion (kundli) or pure fact Science..??

How is a marriage a marriage when we go about matching reports and statistics about the bride and the groom to be? 😳 I dun care if they match kundlis or medical tests, their marriage still seems like a business transaction to me, and a funny one at that. 😆

We should have a itemized checklist for brides and grooms. Here is a sample list.

Bride's checklist
- Groom's job, salary, bank balance, car, investments, properties
- Education level
- Inheritance potential
- Looks
- Resemblance to favorite stars
- Dancing and singing abilities
- Minimum number of relatives
- Friendly sasu maa and sasur ji
- Living separately or not
- Kundli in hinduism/ Istikhara in islam
- Medical reports/AIDS/STDs
- Honeymoon plans
- Cooking and cleaning potential in groom
- Views on wife working of not
- For subcontinent brides - preferably someone residing in west
- For western brides - good family type from back home
- Religion
- Ethnicity
- Language
- Cultural habits
- Supplementary qualities like love, affection, interest, sincerity

Groom's checklist
- beauty, fairness, looks, hair. so that kids are not as the groom

Note 1: some criteria will carry over from bride's checklist.
Note 2: the above list is applicable to hetero relationships only.

For some reason I knew this is going to be a marriage-love-sex oriented topic even before opening the thread. And guess what, I wasn't proven wrong either. 😆

Anyway, I have not seen enough evidences for these to regard them as anything more than mere superstitions (Personal, subjective evidence do not count as objective, testable evidence).

Irrational belief in anything causes more damage than good and a society based on that and superstitions just can't work. Of course I can't object to it as long as all sides are willing and consenting. But I am glad that humanitarians, atheists and skeptics are doing a good job speaking against many such unfair practices that are prevalent in society.
