They said early on in this season that she lived in India for a year before deciding to move there permanently to be with TJ. Did people not see where she said that the things she chose for the apartment construction were not what she picked out before she left? Why is everyone saying she should have researched the culture? I’m pretty sure living there for a year can equal to doing some research on the internet.
And they’re also not giving her any room for her own traditions and culture. The wedding had to be 100% what they wanted. The household has to be exactly what they want. Imagine if an American did that to a foreign spouse who immigrated to the US?
We would never hear the end of it
I feel like there was an example of that, but I have NO idea whom.
Oooh maybe it was teen Evelyn? She kept saying that they were getting married in America so they had to do it the American way
It happens all the time in the US.
I’m certain it would not go over well. Some insist their culture should be accepted worldwide and everyone should honor it. There should be a compromise if couples want to stay together. I also say this to Americans. You can’t go to a country and turn their family into chaos cause they don’t like an onion.
And she said she paid $10,000 towards that wedding, and that it was half the cost.
I thought in India they still used dowry system?
It’s “illegal”.
So, no selling of daughter for 3 goats and a cow anymore? I’m not being snarky. I thought thats how things go.
this was a point of contention I had with my husband for a while! I respect his family and his culture, but I need my cultural norms to be respected as well, there has tk be a balance regardless of where you are living.
Exactly. Partners need to agree on how they want things to be. Parents, families can be difficult. Too bad. They have to deal with the wishes of the couple.
