8 things Indian girls are tired of hearing<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indian girls<\/strong><\/a> of \u2018marriageable\u2019 age are an oft harassed and tormented bunch. The obsession with marriage and \u2018settling\u2019 down starts from the time the girl reaches the \u2018old\u2019 age of 24 and does not let up till a suitable boy is found. Not only do they endure a chauvinistic society, sometimes they even have to suffer through the prejudices of their own well-intentioned albeit pushy family members. Most parents of our generation have become liberal, giving the girl child the same rights and privileges that they do to their sons.<\/p>But when it comes to her marriage, they regress and fall back to their ancestors\u2019 shoes effortlessly. Not just the parents, but countless auntyjis, unclejis, buas, mamas, mamis, mausis, neighbors et al will hound the single woman as to when she\u2019ll get married? Does she have the \u2018necessary\u2019 skill sets to become the \u2018perfect\u2019 wife? Does she fit into the mold of the \u2018sanskari\u2019 bahu? Will her horoscope (Kundali) get her the perfect groom?<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whew! Do these \u201cwell-meaning\u201d relatives ever stop to think about what the man has to offer to a committed relationship like marriage besides the obvious i.e., being born male? Does he have a sound academic and professional background to match the over-achieving woman? Does he have any interests besides work? Is he a pig \u2013 in any sense of the word? How does he treat women \u2013 in general \u2013 as his inferiors? As his peers? As his superiors? Does he think a husband who helps his wife is a \u2018joru ka ghulam\u2019, or does he treat her with dignity?<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm. Loaded questions for the parents and relatives to consider when marrying off their precious daughter to a stranger, don\u2019t you think?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, on a lighter vein, there are a bunch of cliches that most Indian women will have encountered during their lifetime. So here\u2019s a list of the eight of them to bring a smile to your face:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

1) Cooking<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeta, you should know how to make mutter paneer. Everybody knows, that a way into a man\u2019s heart is through his stomach.\u201d What it means is that you\u2019re going to be married off to a chump who doesn\u2019t even know how to turn on a stove let alone boil a glass of water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Skin tone<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou should try some lemon juice mixed with neem leaves to get a fair complexion.\u201d What it means is that your natural skin tone has to be shades lighter if you have a prayer of getting married. Really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Doing Pooja<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou should do Pooja everyday. A \u2018sanskari\u2019 girl should know all this.\u201d What it means is that if you make a lot of noise in the designated Pooja room at your home, only then you\u2019re considered \u2018sanskari\u2019. Chuck spirituality; who needs it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Dressing sense<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat kind of dress is that?!\u201d Code for: since you\u2019ve reached the pain-in-the-ass marriageable age, you should toss all your normal fashionable clothes in favor of a salwar kameez, or better yet, a saree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Boyfriend<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho was that on the phone? Is that who you keep talking to through the night?\u201d What it means is that we know you might have a boyfriend and that\u2019s our cue to get you married ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Hair<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have such beautiful long hair.\u201d Code for: if you even look at a pair of scissors, we\u2019ll restrain you \u2013 physically, if we have to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Age<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at you. Seems only yesterday that you were in your cute little frilly frock. Now you\u2019re all grown up.\u201d Code for: we\u2019ve already started hunting for a \u2018suitable\u2019 groom, we\u2019ll let you know once we\u2019ve shortlisted a couple of them for you to nod your head to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) Etiquette<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy are you running around? You\u2019re not a child anymore. Behave like a lady!\u201d What will the neighbors and\/or extended family think, if you are prancing about happily minding your own business? It reflects on us as parents when you go to your in-laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
