A Journalist Reveals had spoken to some young people regarding their opinion about marriage. This is the second part of the survey. In this part, we wanted to know what kind of person these young people wanted to marry and what qualities they expect in their would be spouses.

Shree Sumanas, Student, Chennai: I want him to be himself, who can take care of my parents like his own. He should also be of similar views and tastes as that of mine.

Shreya Khatri, PR professional, Delhi: He should be financially stable, understand me and my professional goals and should be open minded and fun loving. He should be as loving as my dream man SRK!

Shruti Vermen, Business Co-ordination Executive, Mumbai: My husband should be understanding and financially stable.

Kritika Pushkarna, Features Editor, Delhi: I expect my husband to be understanding and the main quality that I want is the support. He should be supporting enough.

Zee Lohan, Student and Amateur Artist, Kolkata: He should be respecting my ideals, like I would his. I don’t want him to change for me and neither should he ask me to.

Chaitanya Saraf, CEO, Delhi: My would be wife should be modern with traditional values and should easily adjust within my family.

Harday Gupta, Assistant Manager Media & Client Servicing, Noida: She should be understanding, caring, practical and a kind hearted person. And if she is a good cook then it will be an additional quality. The looks and appearance does not matter. A beautiful heart is thing which is needed.

Sherna Jayaraman, Newlywed Home Maker, Hyderabad, Ex-Mumbaian: I was in Mumbai before marriage and after marriage I shifted to Hyderabad. As both are cities I am quite fine with either. I wanted my ideal husband to be caring, loving, understanding and adjustable with a level of compatibility that would match me not just now but for every step in life. Apart from that I wanted a person who is settled in life or at least has an idea of what to do and where to settle. By god’s grace, I have found an almost ideal husband through an arranged marriage match via an online matrimony website.
