How families should talk before a proposal

A professional introduction is not a private inbox. After both families approve — and a wali where required — a supervised thread may open with the consultant on the record.

Before that step, write down what must be said in the first meeting: education, location, second-marriage status, and whether the family can host in Karachi or will travel.

Do not exchange phone numbers until both sides offer them. Gossip about other clients has no place in a consultancy.
