Q:At what point should a desi girl [brought up in a strict typical household] tell her parents of a boyfriend? What if she has no intentions of marrying him but they've been together for a long time?
A: I don't know how old you are, and I don't know what your definition of a long time is. With this being said it seems like you're just using this guy for sex. If you actually liked him you would at least tell your mother about him. You have decided to keep him your dirty little secret. Shame on you! On a serious note, you should at least tell your mother. If you've been with him for a while that means he's obviously special to you. Chances are that if you don't tell at least one parent about him they'll find out on their own and be way more pissed then you ever imagined. You said you don't have any intention of marrying him, so imagine if they found about him after you guys broke up. Mull it over. Tell your mother at least. I am Baliwala. That is all.
Depends on if an honor killing will be involved or not - please be careful about your advice!!
ReplyDeleteRofl @ the random burst of seriousness, or is it mockery?
