What's Wrong when a guy wants to marry a girl Taller than him ??

honestly... what's up with their families. it's the two of them being in a relationship not two families... haix. if the guy marries the girl, he marries her not her entire clan right. Anyway, if he doesn't both that she is taller than him, and she doesn't mind that he is shorter than him.. then who cares? I think their families are just trying to do what they think is best for them. perhaps they can forsee that through time the guy will feel inferior that he is shorter and the girl might seek to have a taller man.

hey, we are from india and such issues crop up in india. discussing it in an international forum would make no sense as height is never an issue in matrimony in other countries.. both families would have only thought about the embarassment that they thought their child would face in society becoz of this height problem. that is all. and in india, society is a little too cruel sometimes,, otherwise height is never an issue!!

There's nothing wrong with height and marriage. I've seen several couples who's marriage lasted a long time and their height differences isn't just a few inches, it's actually a foot difference. I don't think it was because of height alone that they had broken apart. I mean, why should they be pressured by family members if they themselves are sure that they want each other as life partners, they're not going to live with those family members, they're going to be with each other forever, so why should family members' opinion be given greater weight than their love? Perhaps they were pressured by both sides. But still, the decision will always come from them. Anyhow, as for the general thought, most of the women wouldn't want to be with a guy shorter than her. It's not just because it's not normal, but on my side, I would feel that he can't protect me because I'm bigger than him, if you know what I mean. I don't intend to look down on shorter people, but I'm just not comfortable with it. What were their reasons? Is it truly just because of height issues??? Happy New Year MyLot!

This has got to be a joke - I mean, what's wrong with the girl being taller? If most people can now accept the age difference (older woman marrying younger man), the height should be a non-issue!

For me height is not a big big big big deal in getting married or in any relationship. What matters is the love that both felt for each other and for as long as they're happy, it doesn't matter.

As for me there is no problem if one of them is higer than the other.However practically it may cause some problems while getting into interaction with each other.If this is not a problem for them, noone else has a right to prevent them.
