When Property Becomes the Only Criteria: A 28-Year-Old Man’s Arranged Marriage Struggle

I'm a 28-year-old man, and my parents are currently looking for matches. These days many girl’s parents openly say that unless a guy has 4 to 5 crore worth of property, they won't even consider the proposal. Education, a stable job, responsibility, character, or whether he takes care of his parents don't seem to matter anymore. Property has become the main eligibility criteria, and some people are so direct that they even mention on matrimony profiles that a minimum of 10 crore in property is required.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to inherit assets from their ancestors. There are many men who start from zero, work hard, and build their careers step by step. That effort, discipline, and struggle often go unnoticed. Just like women have fears and insecurities men have them too. A guy also worries whether the woman coming into his life will truly understand him or only value him for what he owns.
When it comes to the past, almost everyone today has some sort of past. What really matters is the future, not endlessly judging what is already done. At the very least, girls should speak to their parents and ask them to look beyond property. Instead of counting assets, see what kind of person the guy is, his values, mindset, and how he treats people. Money and property can be built over time, but character, understanding, and compatibility are what truly hold a marriage together.
