Had an arrange marriage family visit us...

I had a girl's family visit us at our house for in an arranged marriage setup for the first time.

The only thing they asked me was about my job and my salary. They even asked to see my salary slip. Which felt really weird to me.

Nothing about what are my future plans, what are my other interests.

And they did not even ask it in a polite manner. Just straight up said "Salary slip dikhao".

Am I wrong to find this weird or just overthinking this ?

Is it common these days to ask for salary slip on first meeting from the guy ?

Salary slip is usual to be asked, though should be done in polite manner. At least you got asked on a personal visit, many folks ask to send it even before visiting. I believe the better thing to ask is Salary Bank Account Number, since at least it avoids transfer of any document.

Asking for salary is usual, checking it against the salary slip is not. Can i ask the weight or vital statistic of the bride and then measure it? will the world accept it?

This is a family of gold diggers.. Gold diggers is a decent term in from of them.

Being a woman I am ashamed of how inappropriate a girl's family is. 0 civic sense.

It's better to be scammed and then fk them up.. rather being skeptical all the time and asking salary slips to ur prospects.

Oh hell no. In this case getting scammed means getting married then divorced and then end up paying alimony perpetually.

Lately my family has also started talking to families and it really spooks me out that there are families with such attitude.

That's disrespectful af. I hope you didn't show your salary slip and just moved on. If they don't respect you then no need to respect them either.
