I agree with her. I'm not saying the norm is entirely wrong because you can find a good life partner through even one encounter but that is not a likely case.

Thanks! That's the thing... in these brief meetings, people will portray themselves the way they want and it get's difficult to choose. And yeah, not just girls even guys can get affected. Like in this show also, if we see... in the first episode, Baa was against telling the guy and his family that Dharaa is a cricketer. But it was Dharaa who chose to be honest with Mihir from the first meeting itself.

Courtship will be a good solution but yeah, unfortunately conservative families are not as receptive of this.



Actually more than the guy's family, it is the girl's parents and the elders who stress about compromising with their careers. Baa had exactly done that. If Dhara had told about her interest, it is a good thing as any relationship has to begin with honesty. But Mihir has been dishonest. The conservative families believe in the concept of kanyadaan. That is once they give the girl to that family it will be their responsibility and they have every right over the girl.

Within the limited time, it is difficult to decide whether to go for that proposal or not. It implies to both, the boy and the girl. At least 5 to 10 days time should be given to them to know and understand each other before proceeding.

Yes, definitely there are people who have found the perfect life partners in this way but then it can get risky too in some cases.

Yeah, in this story it was Baa who was all the more discouraging. It seemed like Mihir's parents weren't bothered one way or the other (seemed so from the phone conversation between Dharaa and Mihir's mother). So if Mihir hadn't been dishonest but a supportive person, things could have worked out. But there are many groom-families that tend to be conservative with regards to a girl's career as well. Better is to choose people with similar mind-sets and core principles.
