Parents of Groom to be - "My son says that all his friend's respective spouses are working in Multi-National Corp, so he has decided to settle for one too. If he gets married to a girl who is not working or a government servant, his reputation will be tarnished."

Parents of Bride to be - "Since when has a relationship gained dependency on one's profession?"

Parents of Groom to be - "This is the modern world. Everyone wants to achieve everything quickly, so they take loans at an early age to enjoy a good life."

Parents of Bride to be - "And then look for a high-income earning girl to pay off those loans."

Parents of Bride to be - "And if they don't get along?"

Parents of Groom to be - "Divorce cases are very common nowadays. I mean, it was 'yours and ours' time when people stayed together till the end. Now it's very casual. People get separated within a year of their marriage. This is why I want my son to fulfill all his expectations."
