How will you convince your sister to get married .Girls ideas are most welcome!! Well since few months a third world war has started in my house. My sister turns 28 next January. It is really a high time for any Indian Hindu Girl to get married by that age. But my parents give us a lot of freedom and choice. They taught us to be self-dependent. So we have lot of individuality in my home. Nobody tries to force his/her views on another. You can say we are a democratic family. But I think my sister does not understand the difference between individuality and responsibility. My parents bring the alliance for marriage but she give lame reasons to reject the gentleman. It happened many times. Any time I try to discuss this with her , she simply shuns the topic or warns me to mind my own business instead of running a marriage bureau. She asks a question , " Bro! Are all the married people happy? Show me one wife who does not curse her fate of getting married to her husband. Show me one man who really and sincerely takes care of his wife's emotions. Why buy new troubles as if the existing ones are not enough. " I simply cannot answer the above question. I am worried that my parents are aging and my sister is still single. What may become of her! I think it is every brothers problem. I do not even know her tastes! We never talked so deeply about it because I for myself have no opinion on how my future wife should be. Please correct my English. I also welcome matured suggestions from married people as well as girls. Thank you friends

Another doubt: It's a huge responsibility because of the dowry we have to give, right? So, if we marry the boy off first, we will get dowry and with that we can marry the girl off without pain. But, it is still a huge responsibility when all are girls or if the parents don't want to take such a thing as dowry. "An amateur question for your sister: why people go for jobs, though it gives extra pain and tension. Because it will lessen some of the problems by unemployment and gives you help, right? At the same time, though marriage gives some problems, you are not alone but you have your partner to help and support you. Even if he doesn't support you, you have your(women's) innate ability called patience with which you can win him over again from the problem that is between you and him." Otherwise you can humorously say, "They said they won't marry me if you don't marry" or "I want a nephew to play"...

May be because girls are a huge responsibility for Indians.

Corrections: "I think it is every brothers' problem", "Girls' ideas are". I have a doubt, why girls get married before boys in a family? In AP family atleast.
