I'm very glad to see this topic opened. I'm married, and early during our marriage (we didn't get the opportunity to discuss this before that), I told my wife about a past relationship I had w/ another girl I was thinking of marrying, and what made it come apart. Similarly, she told me about another one she had w/ an ex boyfriend, and why that didn't work out. Both of us were absolutely cool w/ that, and had nothing to hide while telling the other.

I can understand the situation being different if the wife had sex, or worse, a baby out of wedlock, but in Jyoti's case as well as ours, neither of these happened. Had Jyoti opened up to Pankaj on day 1 and held nothing back about not just Brij/herself/Sushma but also nothing back about Sushma's hateful behavior, Brij would never have been in a strong situation re: Sushma. But now, it's Jyoti's word against Brij's.

depnds on the mentality of the spouse...says jyoti had a loser hubby like brij then hell would break loose if she told him the past...but knowing pankaj ...she did wrong she should have come clean. but i think she did try to tell him n he stopped her before marriage from telling her past...so y is he blaming her now.

The idea of fessing up b4 marriage, if possible, is to give the would-be/would-not-be spouse the opportunity to opt out, if he was uncomfortable w/ this truth. So if Jyoti told someone like Brij something like this and he freaked out, Jyoti could then let go of him and move on - she doesn't owe it to herself to make her own life miserable just b'cos the guy she thought loved her isn't willing to accept certain pasts.

So let's say Jyoti had told Sachin b4 marriage that she had a sis who married her ex, and Sachin didn't like that she had an ex in the first place, he wouldn't have married Jyoti, both of them would have been untainted, and Jyoti would have been at liberty to look for a guy who was willing to accept those past facts.

That's the whole idea - it isn't to lock the guy you're interested in, come what may.

i think it's of utmost importance to be completely honest with someone you are considering to spend the rest of your life with. it's better the truth comes from you then they hear it from someone else. it's best not to assume anything about them, especially that they won't mind if you had a boy/girlfriend prior to you marriage with them.
and as Vrisha said, it gives the other person the choice to opt out - saving you, them, and ultimately both families a whole load of head/heartache.
i myself am not married but when i'm ready and i find the right candidate [kinda like a gameshow, i know 😛], i'll not be hiding anything even though i have no concealed truths to 'confess' - what you see is what you get! but he might have a few stories to tell, who knows?
also, i'd only consider a man who himself believes in spilling the beans before the knot is tied. equal ops, you know...😆
