Season of the big fat Indian wedding. Entire north will start practising dance steps to cliche Punjabi beats and the banquets will see vallet drivers requesting you to handover the car keys. The magnitude of this industry cannot be checked on GDP but this will be on the top of the charts once you start assembling them under one head. Marriage act comes under the law ministry but with the changing times and immense focus on customisation is it time to take a hrd view on the event - like draw up a contract with the marriage certificate and renew it every five years. Isn't that a good enough time to practise tolerance ?
Get a compulsory medical check done on the both - check conjugality, fitness and readiness to avoid anything untoward later on. Look at imposing luxury charges on marriages at hotels - surely that money can be used to fill up the hungry stomach in India.
Why not psychometric tests to ascertain capabilities - if you fail the test take a rehab and be marriage ready. And then take the plunge
Two words - but a lifetime responsibility before you say I do.
