12. "The guy's parents disapprove of the girl"



One should never bask in someone's misery. Instead, give her moral support.

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.

14. "The girl's family has gifted the boy a small car! Mr. Chaddha gave his son-in-law an SUV!"



One should think beyond materialism. As I said earlier, the emotion behind a gift is more important than the gift itself. There should be no competition. Even if a father wishes to gift his daughter a car, shouldn't it be their call what car it should be?

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!
