{"_id":"668da05a0b76658b4c2334fa","title":"Is it permissible to reach out to a potential spouse's sibling to gauge their interest in marriage?","question":"Is it appropriate for me to reach out to a sister’s brother to see if their sister is potentially interested in marry me before reaching out to her father? My parents are aware that I am interested in marrying her. The sister is not aware nor have I been in recent contact with her (not in person or via text, etc.). Or is it best to reach out to the father directly without knowing if she’s interested and have our parents meet instead and go from there?","answer":"Contacting her brother to gauge her interest would not be inappropriate. This approach might even be better than reaching out directly to her parents, as some parents may exert undue pressure on their children. However, if the sister expresses interest, it's important to involve both sets of parents in the proceedings.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a9","tag":"Relationships: Potential Spouse","count":44}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:58.806Z"}
