Having a love marriage is fairly simple as compared to an arranged marriage. Not only do the bride and groom have to meet, know, and be sure of each other in a brief amount of time, but their families need to make sure that they are making the right decision too. Hence, some may end up asking the bride and groom for personal information.
For example, one guy took to Reddit to reveal that the bride’s father asked to see his salary slip to make sure he wasn’t lying about his job or his salary.
“We recently met a family. The girl looked fine, her profile was fine. They met us, the families seemed to hit it off reasonably well. Everything was fine until the girl’s father asked to see my salary slip. He wasn’t rude about it, in fact he apologized beforehand, saying ‘aap bura mat maniyega’ and all but he said he needed to see my salary slip before moving ahead,” he wrote.
He went on to add that he found it offensive that the father was asking for proof despite him already mentioning his salary to them.
“For a slight moment I was shocked. I make around 12 LPA and I have never bothered to hide my salary from any of my family members. Infact we told the girl’s family the exact salary, down to the last digit. But the fact that they don’t believe me and want to see the actual paystub seems a little… offensive,” he wrote.
He further claimed that the bride in question works too and earns around Rs 40,000 a month. But he thinks that he would be expected to run the household.
“For context, the girl has a small time WFH gig. She makes around 40k monthly right now, and considering her qualifications and her current job she might not always be employed. So it is clear that its my money that will run the house.”
