As a ponnu, I want a husband with a cleaner past. Do men accept women who are not virgins? Is this primitive thinking?
25F from Chennai. My family has started looking for an arranged marriage for me, and I’ve been thinking a lot about compatibility and past relationships.
Personally, I would prefer a partner with a relatively clean and peaceful past, mainly because I want a stable and healthy marriage. But at the same time, I also understand that many people today — both men and women — may have had previous relationships, and that alone doesn’t make someone a bad person.
As a woman, I sometimes wonder: do men in arranged marriages usually accept a girl who is not a virgin? Or is expecting a “clean past” considered too conservative or unrealistic nowadays?
I’m not trying to judge anyone. I’m just genuinely confused about how people think today, especially in Chennai arranged marriage setups.
Also, how do people verify compatibility and character before marriage? Has anyone used background checks or detective agencies? Is that common or a bad idea?
Would appreciate honest opinions from both men and women.
