Questions to Ask During a First Rishta Meeting

By My Rishta Pakistan · Updated 25 October 2026

The first meeting is not an interview, but it is your chance to understand whether you and the other family share similar values. These questions help you start a respectful conversation.

About values and lifestyle

• What does a good family life look like to you?
• How important is religion in your daily routine?
• How do you like to spend weekends and holidays?

About family

• Do you want to live with parents or separately after marriage?
• How close are you with your siblings and relatives?
• What role do you expect your family to play in our life?

About work and future

• What are your career goals for the next few years?
• Would you be open to relocating to another city or country?
• How do you feel about a spouse working after marriage?

About finances

• How do you plan to manage household expenses?
• Do you have any major financial responsibilities toward family?

About communication

• How do you handle disagreements?
• What helps you feel respected in a relationship?

Tips for the meeting

• Listen as much as you talk.
• Be honest. Do not promise what you cannot do.
• Do not ask private questions that make the other person uncomfortable.
• Ask for time to think. A decision after discussion with family is better than a rushed answer.

A calm, respectful conversation helps both sides decide with confidence.
