My cousin VS is all set to get married and phone exchanges between my mother and aunt are daily and long. VS is a bright and talented girl in more than one field and wants to do her PhD next. But since my aunt is worried that she wouldn't get a guy after she finishes it, she's eager to get this 22-year old married before she enrolls herself in the university. It's an arduous task, getting a suitable boy, especially if you want the horoscopes matched. After the horoscopes, you have to match the expectations of the future mothers-in-law. It's very difficult to believe some of the conditions put by these ladies, some of them employed themselves - the girl cannot study after marriage, girl should have a child within the first year of marriage(I wanted to ask a lot of counter-questions to that pathetic creature), girl should not work after marriage, girl should observe the no-entry customs during menstruation(God, I can't believe this) when in in-laws' place...It's like these people have missed a generation of mental progress.
