Woman Turns Down Arranged Marriage After Man Asks To Give Up Her Dog
When New Dehli-based Karishma Walia found out that her potential husband is not of fan of dogs and wouldn’t want one after marriage, it became clear to her that it’s going to be an issue. So she turned down the arranged marriage.
“Having a dog is definitely not a temporary phase. I can’t abandon my dog for anyone,” Walia told him in a Whatsapp conversation. Though the guy still tried to get her to reconsider, it didn’t work. Walia just loves her pooch, Lucy, too much and if he can’t accept that – it’s a dealbreaker! She posted the full Whatsapp conversation to Facebook, and people on the Internet have been supporting her since. Take a look below!

What arrogance?! Pet is for life. Not something you dump just because it gets in your way. And I'll be very wary of that guy. He expected her to give up her dog because he didn't like dogs. What else will he be demanding her to give up just because he doesn't approve? I'm so glad she stood firm!

Exactly! First it's the dog, then what? Her career? Her friends? She absolutely made the right choice!
