A Startling reason for declining a Groom

You may have come across ( heard) many reasons for the rejection of a groom by a prospective bride.But here is an incident which is like an icing on a cake .

 Real Life Incident 

The shishyas of a prominent Acharya Purusha were very happy that they got a bride for their son after searching for 3 years . A grand Nichayathartham ceremony was performed , Marriage hall finalised ,Invitations printed and as per tradition their Acharya was invited for the soon to take place wedding of their son..

Due to some reason the Acharya could not attend the wedding on the Muhurtha date printed on the invitation.The Acharya happened to meet the Shishyas after the wedding date and as is custom enquired about the smooth conduct of the marriage like this " Enna Kalyanam achaa? Matt(r)uppenn vandacha? " when he got a negative reply with a long face from the shishyas.
 

Upon further enquiry the shishyas narrated as follows


" We were excited about the Marriage and had made all arrangements for the Grand finale .A few days before the wedding date the would be bride ( Whose Nichayathartham was over) called over phone around 6.15 PM and wanted to speak to the would be groom .Since the boy was performing Sandhayavanthanam , we asked the Girl to call after some time and went about our duties .The Girl did not call back . Instead the Girls mother called us and told us the wedding cannot take place as planned as they perceived the Boy's family to be too orthodox ( aachaaraamana kudumbam) and that the Girl who was modern in her upbringing cannot cope with Santhayavanthanam , Thiruvarathanam,Madisar , Madi thaligai etc." saying so the Shishyas family wept in front of their Acharyan.

Where is our community headed? 

Can such incidents take place in Muslim or Non Brahmin community.

We have spoilt our society in the name of Liberalisation and unlimited freedom.
