So i just Got this Story from a visitor, he says

” I have a cousin who is in a very serious relationship, and then he decided to meet with the lady’s parents, and introduce himself to them. Alongside the discussion, the mother of the lady popped the question, “How much do you earn Monthly?”. This left my friend speechless, though he was least expecting it but, he had to cover up…..Though he earns a decent sum.

Please i wanna know whether its right for a parent(s) to ask such unbiased question?

My reply is I earn enough to take care of their daughter.
Kapish.

It's wrong

Trust me on this, your cousin is about to get himself into a family trap and he ll live to regret the decision of marrying that lady. You know why, that question alone reveals how that mother-in-law is and of course her relationship with her daughter.

If she is bold enough to ask your cousin that question, you can now imagine what his life ll look like after marriage.

The dude should be on the run by now...

Guy you may check another. That branch may look at you as an underdog.

They are just looking out for their daughter ni, they don't want her to suffer

The guy would have said that he earns enough to feed their daughter. Why should they ask the question at the first place?

It is not only wrong,it is borderline rudeness.

Shows the mother has no grace and tact or her greed got the better of her.

For me,that's a sign to take seriously before entering a family like that.

They will be adding in law tax to that salary. It's not an appropriate question to ask what's more important their daughters happiness or how much they can drain from the son in law to be. This is not going to end well.

That's stupid . ..... Women can be greedy at times , just give them what you know it's okey for them . I should be dating the whole family to let them know how much I earn .

I will be embarrassed if my parents ask such questions

Fear of the man's inability to take care of their daughter precedes this question.

To me is a two edged question

Yes ... Poverty is a bastard. My inlaw must be rich, ...to hell with love!

You guys make one jittery about marriage..

If I wia the guy I would hold on marriage plans.

If your daughter dosent feel i can take care of her,i dont think i will be here asking for her hand in marriage.

As simple as that

the mother is just being a Nigerian mum..

Baba i dey tell u

E come be like say na interview person wan go

Only gold digging parents as that type of question......the best they could ask is are you financially stable?

For a woman to ask a potential in law dat silly question shows dat .

1) she has no regard for her husby to make such silly comments on a crucial meeting like dat.
2) her husband is a monkey man!
3) her major yardstick for a potential in law is his finances.

Infact there are just too many red flags!
The guy should seriously consider pulling the plug on the entire marriage

she is just looking out for her daughter i guess, buh even at that, she's not supposed to ask that question. It portrays her as a greedy person. I mean there are other ways of looking out for your child right?.

No, as long as asking their daughter that type of question wouldn't be wrong or your own parents asking you the same question.

You can't marry a man's daughter and not regard him as your father.

Well.

They will look face before asking.

Some of us no well and it is written all over our face.

Even my parents dnt know how much I earn.

Aregs:

If he earned 800k monthly and suddenly lost the job after marriage, will they still look out for their daughter?

No be small thing..

It's not their business. As a matter of fact, it's an insult.

Its not only wrong, its dumb.
If they wanna find out your economic and financial status, with a sense of respect and decorum, they could just ask where you work, and what you do where you work.
Nothing is permanent. Change happens to everything in life.
It goes to show how much importance they attached to money, as their value sense, than to Love and Good home for their daughter.

...

Really Wrong. like it ain't their business How much you Earn.



it only shows how much of a thieving parasite The lady's family is. You better run...

Some mother's will simply make their daughter marry there boyfriend, when they use there stupidity all in the name of been over protective chase their daughter destiny husband.

.

Absolutely wrong....can I also ask my gal how much her parents earn?..wrong also...parents with stupid ego
