Arranged Marriage-Refrain from asking 5 Questions In The First Meeting

Undoubtedly, arranged marriages are not an easy thing to start with. The first meeting is the series of awkward meeting, expressions, shyness and silence. You can never be sure what to say and what to underplay in your conversations with the other party. The entire process becomes uncontrollable when one party asks irrelevant questions. To save you from this trouble, we have listed down 5 questions which you should never ask in the first meeting if you are going for an arranged marriage-

What is your salary? We all have heard this, 'Never ask a woman her age and the man his salary'. However, there is a twist in the story. Even guys should understand that working women would not like the idea of telling their salary at first meeting. The question makes sense that you give more priority to money.








Did you have any past relation? Many people ask this question in the hope of getting 'No' reply. Though, honesty is the prime ingredient of a successful relationship but such personal question should be left for the time when you both become more familiar and comfortable in each others company.










What is your monthly expenses? Being financially safe is indispensable but asking this question out rightly at a first meeting is completely no-no. If the answer of this question really matters to you then you should rephrase it in a much better way. Like ask about his/her hobbies or likes/dislikes as this will give you an idea about their lifestyle.












How many guys or girls have you rejected till now? Just because you are becoming conscious and little bit scary, it doesn't mean that you will start asking absolutely irrelevant questions. If a person is going for an arranged marriage then obviously they would have met quite a few people before meeting you and may meet some more even after you. So, never ask this question as this has good chances of getting backfired.









Will you cook everyday? Are you looking for a spouse or a cook? You are here to understand the person in a better way and not to discuss the household chores. It is really demeaning to ask the question to a woman. Especially for a working woman, it is not possible to come back home after work and then cook. If you yourself can't cook after returning back from office then you should not expect it from the other person.

When you ask wrong question then you end up making a fool of yourself only. So it is best to refrain yourself from asking inconsequential questions and ensure that you find a prospective partner.
