13. “Thank god, she found a suitable husband before turning 30”



Come on, gone are the days when getting married at a given age was the norm. Priorities have changed over the years. People are more focused on making a career, standing on their feet and then taking the plunge. So many people get hitched after 30, by choice, and not because they can’t find a suitable match.

15. “Her mehendi isn’t dark! This proves that her husband/in-laws won’t love her”



This one takes the cake. It’s such an absurd thing to say and surprisingly it’s heard very often. It is one of the most common superstitions. The color of a bride’s henna/mehendi does not signify her future. Trust me, no educated person would want to be caught saying this particular statement. Absolute faux pas!
