Haha... Marriage CV's. Nowadays it does sounds like an application process. I think somebody already said it, but as soon as I saw this thread I thought of Baba Ali's video on marriage interviews.

What happened to the old times when the parents came together
and had a nice talk with some chai(tea) and cookies and get to know each other and all that?
you will never truly get to know a person by a piece of paper, right?
And as for the onewho fears standing in front of His Lord and restrainsthe soul from impure evil desires and lusts, verily, Paradise will be his abode [79:40-41]

AsSalamOAlaikum WaRehmatuAllah WaBarkatuhu
Your right. The thing is by having the CV. What the parents do is first do background checks etc and then if they are happy then they approuch the spouse to be.
Just like with a job interview, some prefer to get the references out of the way.

With the sister walking in, all shy and everything, bringing in the chai and biscuits? I'm not a fan of that..it's as if they expect you to fall in love with her as you see her serving you or something with all the aunties and uncles sitting around chatting and winking at each other while so obviously pointing at the guy and girl!

Yeh that's the one im talking
really, no I thought it was cool atleast you get to know what kinda family she has and if they are compatible with my family and let's not forget about the free cookies and chai
but it MUST be extremely embarrassing though.

lol & behold, this is the future.. do they really ask about all that stuff though?
can't we,,just marry O_O *sigh*
go shopping with a girl & maybe have dinner and you'll know her a lot better than the other stuff, just a thought, never done it..
I'm too young for this anyway:/

that tradition has never failed to irritate me. i feel sorry for her...it would be scary enough to her that she has to meet a potential, let alone bring in chai all red faced, and to top off have people stare at the both of them.
i dont like how she brings in the chai anyway becuase the first thing that the guy must be thinking is her "serving potential," as you mentioned. but what about the other way around, whats he got to show? stupidness!
