What should families discuss before the first rishta meeting?
Last reviewed:
Direct answer
Before a first rishta meeting, families should clarify the basics: who is being considered, whether the person is aware and comfortable, what the broad expectations are, and whether there are any non-negotiable issues.
Useful topics include age range, city or relocation expectations, education, work, family involvement, previous marital status if relevant, and the preferred pace of the process.
The goal is not to decide everything before meeting. It is to avoid wasting time or creating pressure when major expectations are already incompatible.
