These are sensitive issues where you could have completely opposite views… Remember, in these kinds of scenarios, you could find yourself trapped in a very awkward situation after your marriage.
In the Indian scenario, the newlywed wife is often subject to various kinds of superstitions and beliefs. For example, in some cultures it is mandatory for a new bride to make the first meal of the house. If the meal is not good enough, she is the subject of a lot of ridicule for the rest of her married life.
So, obviously, if you cannot cook, then getting married in a family like this is not a good idea.
So make sure you ask him these questions, so that after your wedding, you don't have to make the compromises and the sacrifices:
30. How often does he visit the temple (any place of worship)? Will he expect you to go with him and vice versa?
31. Does he or his family members believe in following certain rituals during your periods? Will you be allowed in the kitchen during your periods?
32. Does his family have specific rituals (pujas and otherwise) that you would necessarily have to be a part of? Is it okay if you are not a part of it?
33. Are the both of you going to live with his parents? Can you live away from his parents after the wedding?
34. Does he drink/smoke? If yes, how much? If no, has he tried it in the past? How long ago?
35. How well does he fit into your family circle? Is he a "party pooper" with your folks?
… Last, But Not the Least …
Remember, there is no way to be 100% certain about how your marriage will turn out, but if you have the answers to these sensitive questions, you sure can go a long way.
When you get your answers, weigh your choices, reason out with yourself, and only after that, come to a suitable conclusion of marrying the man.
