It is a pleasure sharing a few words about my daughter. She has completed her Masters. She is looking for a new beginning in life as she is divorced. We want an understanding partner for her who will keep her happy. More can be discussed on meeting personally. There should be utmost clarity about the expectations of the bride and groom so that they bond well together in future promising each other happy life and recover from past bad experience.

The previous marriage ended in divorce for a minor issue that the groom wanted her to do a good job for which she had to commute from Ghaziabad to Gurgaon or Noida while the parents wanted her to stay at home like a housewife. Owing to old age, few health issues typical of people in their 60s and an orthodox mindset the in laws were not prepared to send me out for work as it would get dark by evening by the time I returned.

Additionally, it was expected of her to cook early morning as well as on returning which was not... more practically possible owing to long working hours in private jobs. The family didn't even allow facilities like cook. Practically they wanted our daughter to not only work at a reputed organisation at a good pay package and profile as per her husband's choice and also do all the household chores as well with no help other than for doing the dishes and cleaning. Even when it came to private cab they found it unsafe and wanted her to travel via metro or share autos. Rest all was fine but this unrealistic expectation of working 17 hours was too much to fulfill. The day started at 5:00 a.m. with cooking breakfast and lunch and ended at 10:00 pm. after cooking and serving dinner. The only help was that the dishes were washed and the house was cleaned when both husband and wife were at work. That required too much physical effort and at the same time resulted in lot of stress and physically tiring. It left us wondering how will the things be managed in future after 2-3 years when the family will be bigger. Neither the groom was able to convince his parents for his wife's job and a cook NOR he was willing to give up on wife's job. He didn't agree to her living like a house wife. So this way the problem kept persisting for 2.5 long years with no solution from their end. We tried to make things work but they couldn't reach at any solution through mutual talks and sadly and unfortunately the marriage ended in divorce.

Our daughter's D.O.B is December 5, 1987... Time Of birth 11:55 PM...Place of birth Lucknow. She is non manglik but we would appreciate if you match the kundli on your own to be sure as this time we want to get her settled in a happy marriage and wish the same for her future husband who will be like our own son to us once married to our daughter. Please go through the profile well and express interest if genuinely interested in taking things ahead. We request you to ask as many questions as you would like to check compatibility and also express your mutual expectations for better understanding and compatibility. As parents our only wish is to see our daughter settled in happy marriage. Regards, Pradeep Kumar and Vandana Srivastava.
