What is the most absurd question a prospect's family has asked you?
I am a 29-year-old guy working as an SDE-2 in Bangalore making around 38 LPA. I started the arranged marriage process six months ago and the level of background checks these families do makes my org's HR look like a joke. Last weekend I met a prospect's father at a cafe in Indiranagar and after the basic pleasantries he literally asked me to open my phone and show him my CIBIL score. When I laughed it off thinking he was joking, he kept a straight face and said they need to be sure I don't have hidden personal loans or credit card debt. He then casually asked what my performance rating was in the last appraisal cycle and if I am in the top quartile of my team because tech layoffs are happening everywhere and they want a "stable" future for their daughter. The girl works in a media agency making maybe 8 LPA but her family expects me to prove my financial purity like I am applying for a mortgage I just paid the bill and left. I am curious to know what is the most intrusive or ridiculous question you guys have faced during this whole AM circus because I am seriously considering staying single at this point.

Bhai tu hi reject kr de aise logo ko, mkb aise logo se better hain single life ji loon...

Hey CIBIL is ok to check no? If you're down in debt marriage feels like and is an easy way to blackmail the girl after marriage into asking money from inlaws.
Now of course you are not that guy, but there are others that do this or have done this.
