interesting discussion with my son regarding PPK - Page 2

Usually it wasn't recommended because guys mature mentally later than girls anyways...so if the difference is much there would be difficulty in hansband and wife finding same wavelength understanding and bonding. It wasn't supposed to be something as a hard rule that if some couple found understanding it wouldn't be okay. Most marriage in old days were arranged in Asia so it just helped ensure higher probability in those days of smooth running between husband and wife.

I am amazed Vijaya that you, being a mother, is saying this. Cause when I said the reverse thing to my mother ,"Ma, can I marry a boy who is 10 years younger than me" My mother was so angry that agar distance kam hota toh woh mujhe thappad hi de deta 😆 She said many many things abpout the age and marriage stuff and at the end she said, "jao jake padai karo".

i am a very very liberal mom.if my son says he has crush on some one at 16 years ..i will explain to him about my crushes and will tell him not to take them seriously.

i will never scold him for having crush.

i will give him so much freedom so as he will discuss with me when he falls in love.actually i would encourage him to date some one after he gets a job.

actually in hinduism or any religion there is nothing that says wife shuuld be younger than men in any marriage vows .

challenge u r mom to show in any marriage vows that say wife should be younger than husband.

wife younger than man is a stupid tradition taht is blindly followed.

as vivekananda said we can change tradition according to circumstances.but DHARMA cant eb changed.

age is a tradition

dharma is wife and husband should not lie to each other and they should trust each other.

But as always happens with these things...sound advice becomes hard core rules that people often start going crazy over if overlooked. The original logic behind them gets lost and forgotten
