For those who voted for important and true, please enlighten us on how it is true.

I want to know the same.🍿

@AstroBubbles @Elon_Musk No one’s gonna reply from that category lol. These are either people with a strong family background of religious exhibitionism or NPCs who accept whatever is the zeitgeist of this decade. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing tbh.
But they should accept their biases and embrace logic and reason for once. If @AstroBubbles wants to marry @Elon_Musk but he’s a Danish expat then, will you still match kundlis? Like cmon.

If you are a female, I don't think astrology matters. Demand for females is pretty high and you are probably happy with some of the rejections. If you are a male, fight with your parents at all costs in dropping the horoscope constraint. They are doing you no good but under false impression that they are doing good because there is a good chance that you will end up a single man who won't mentally settle in life .

Ok 👍 Fyi. I'm male. As mentioned in post 29M

The fundamental principles of astrology used by most Jyotish are incorrect. It's a different debate whether it works or not. The principle is that Jyotish is meant to reject only extreme cases of mismatch, not find reasons to reject a match. Most of the folks use nakshatra mismatch, that's only valid for certain extreme mismatches. Astrology has gone to dogs in the current generation. Unfortunately parents are not well informed. It's better to avoid horoscope match because it's only ruining lives of people who genuinely want to get married but unfortunately get rejected at the first stage itself.

Circumvent the loop and pay off whoever is giving the reading. Literally, I know someone who named their baby a name they had chosen by “bribing” the pandit ji. His wife and in-laws didn’t battle an eye. 😂
But seriously, do what you want to man. You’ve got one life.
Do you really want to live in the confines of something non-scientific? It shows from the stats of this poll that people who have the right mentality overwhelmingly support “Not important and false”. Ever wondered why?
Just go ahead and if you like the girl, I’m sure anyone who’s doing “kundli-matching” will give you some solution if you give him some 💰

Yes. One life. Completely agreeing to those points. Bribing the pandit. Looks like a legit idea 😂
Recently I had a fight with my parents convincing them. Most astrologers just use software to make these predictions.

Hahahaha, even these Pandits know that this it merely a matter of belief.
If you pay him, 3k-5k, it will be enough. Give him your sob story and wait.
- Wait and see if he will do it
- If not, ask him for a solution that will make it okay. Because there’s always a solution. 💰😂

I am sick of Astrology aspect (and all other moronic religious aspects too). Even though I have convinced my parents not to keep this as a criteria, a few times the girls side insist on it, and it goes for a toss. Moreover, there is Mangli/Mangla concept too. I have Mangal Dosh, so once for a girl searching for Mangal guy, I thought to reveal the exact date/time etc, so that Mangal-Mangli will match and they will happily agree to marriage. But lo and behold, there comes the astrology part, the 32 f*king gunas and what not, and the horoscope didn’t match! So first, our Caste should match, then even sub-caste should match, Gotra must NOT match, then Mangal dosh should match, and then comes Horoscope match! Already girl-boy ratio is less in India, and even the girl-boy literacy rate and employment rate is less, and on top of that, these many idiotic criterions!!😡

You are 29! For God's sake don't give up on yourself and find yourself a woman! Date someone, get to know each other, assess the compatibility and get married! If you rely on your parents to take the most important decision of your life then you have already signed up to live as per their beliefs!

I completely understand. I grew up in a small town and went to school and college where talking to women was considered like a grave mistake.
Coming from a middle class family. Getting into a relationship was the last priority
I moved to the city for my first job along with my family. I had this mindset shift on so many things. YouTube taught me a lot of things about taboo topics.
Coming to your point. Dating apps are only for good looking and extroverted people. I am an introvert and have average looks. It's quite hard. Along with the above points mentioned. I hope you get an overall picture about my mindset.
Considering my age and experience. Women would hard swipe me left or ignore once they figure out I'm just boring. Dating is like trial and error, we gain experience as time passes. Will be becoming 30 soon and arranged marriage looks like the only option left.

@1899 If arranged marriage is the only option, then you should make your package exceedingly high, like in the top layer, so that it compensates for everything else. You still have a few good years, focus 1 year dedicatedly on career and a good switch. There are many girls of 30+ age too around.


Random suggestion - is it possible for you to run off to a different country?
If you were in the US or UK right now , how would that affect your marriage prospects?
I think the astrology part might have been toned down, and your parents would be letting you do what u want.

Yeah. US not possible, as direct H1B visa sponsorship is not possible. Don't want to spend lakhs on the master's for the sake of the visa or should move to a company which does L1 tranfer and work my ass off until I get transferred.
Germany and the Netherlands are on the list of run-off countries.

Germany and Netherlands are great places! How are you planning on finding opportunities in those countries? Would be great if other people on grapevine can share their stories on how the running away plan worked for marriage.

The problem is it is almost impossible to make most of the parents understand why astrology is unimportant with logical arguments. I, personally, have given up. 😁

I do not understand people who have voted to believe in astrology. Considering so many people living in horrible conditions in conflicted regions. Does birth chart of all the people living inside a country is very bad, that the whole country suffers?
2 billion people live in conflicted areas https://www.voanews.com/a/un-chief-2-billion-people-live-in-conflict-areas-today/6509020.html
List of ongoing wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts
Human evolution and exoplanets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution
There are many potentially habitable exoplanets outside the solar system, to name a few Kepler-442b & TRAPPIST-1e
- Why is the birth chart influenced only by the planets in our solar system and not by other stars and exoplanets ?
- Does War, inflation, AI, pollution, climate change affect our well being directly or astrology ?
I was awestruck by this video. Might not happen but just a possibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4izuDMUQA
To convince my parents I have tried to explain these things.

The gana maching deploys a decision tree algorithm in machine learning with a cut off at 16 ganas...people who designed this were definitely not idiots...
If you don't believe it, you don't need to believe it....
But not believing it because you don't understand is a definite no no....
