    Posting for a young colleague who is seeing grooms for arranged marriage

    This happened when they were talking for the first time in the house of bride to be

    She mentioned that she is interested in undergoing some job related training in another city in the forseeable future. For that he mentioned that that should not be a problem and we can meet weekends and at that time they can have sex.

    Other than this comment everything seems good about the alliance. Will a man sat such a thing to a prospective wife in the first ever meeting? He and she are both from fairly traditional households with great careers.

    What is ur take on the situation? How should she approach this man?

    Thanks

    The guy sounds like a total catch ! What is she waiting for ?! NOT !

    Propositioning for sex on the first date is not acceptable even in liberal western societies. Let alone an arranged marriage set-up where it is 2 strangers introduced in a family setting to get to know each other (with their clothes on - to begin with atleast).

    Even setting aside the morality issue, it is a complete put off to be "told" and not "asked" by a man about sexy-time over the weekends they meet. Weird.

    That's not acceptable comment from a guy at first meeting.

    That's sad. Thanks. She will be bummed.
    She mentioned that they talked about taking care of both their parents, renovating ancestral house, career plans etc. Otherwise he seems to be adjustable so much. Any possibility he is a nice man ??

    It is very unrealistic to expect to hear the honest-truth about this guy from strangers who neither know the guy, nor the woman, nor witnessed the conversation. These questions are best put forward to the woman herself or someone who knows the guy. You might as well toss a coin rather than ask total strangers on the internet to predict this guy's character

    Ok. Do u think there is any merit in asking for a second meeting and confronting him as to why he said what he said? What marriage means to him etc ? She just wants to be sure he is not a sex weirdo. For sure he has had no past relationships.

    Why does she need to take that risk? What if he denies by saying that he was misheard/misinterpreted/just for fun etc

    I think your colleague should setup second, third meeting before deciding. It is unexpected that someone would make such a comment during the first meeting but just like us, does anyone train men as to what to discuss in the first meeting? So it may just that he said it in jest or didn't realize the implication then.

    I don't think just this comment disqualifies him for at least another opportunity to understand him.

    In the second meeting should she specifically bring this topic up and ask what he meant when he said that? Is that the only reason he wants to marry like a license to have sex? Or just talk something else..... Please advise. She is going through so much confusion

    Not sure but I think he may not have even realized/ thinking before saying this, must have been just a casual reference. At the first meeting the females get advises on all do's and don'ts. Do guys get those suggestion I don't know. If he said that unknowingly, then most probably he must knocking his head on the wall for that, just like we have regrets after such meet ups. Ask your friend to meet up again, get a clarification from him.
