There are many reasons for brahmin girls eloping / getting married without the knowledge of their parents!

1. The parents always blaming inter-caste marriages and threaten their children NOT to do so.

2. The girl is NOT able to tell about her love for a NB guy.

3. Too much of madi and AchAram in the house and the girl wants to escape.

4. Prolonged search for a matching horoscope for the girl.

5. Support from the guy's family because he has chosen his partner form a HIGHER caste.
(The guy will elope, if his choice is from a lower caste, which does not happen often!)

6. Financial support needed by parents from the girl.

7. The girl believes all the praising words uttered by the guy.

8. She thinks that once a child is born, her parents will forget everything and accept her.

This list goes on and on.........

It is very sad that the expectations of the girl's parents are very very high, now a days. Look at a few matrimony sites!!
They keep on searching for the BEST and never ever care to ask their daughter, if she has chosen anyone already!

PS: If the title of thread had the word 'brahmin' added to it, someone would have given five stars!!
