Marriage isn't the joining of two people, but a union of two families,  union of two different thoughts, two different families, two different mindsets and many more things. So for a successful marriage, the families need to come together on the same platform. In the new age when technology is booming, a man was rejected by the girl’s family for a unique reason. 
In an unusual turn of events, a prospective groom from Murtizapur, Maharashtra, was rejected just before finalizing his wedding due to his low CIBIL score. The incident, reported by the Times of India (TOI), has sparked discussions on the growing importance of financial stability in arranged marriages.

According to TOI, the families of the bride and groom had gathered to finalize the marriage, with both sides agreeing on the match. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when one of the woman’s uncles insisted on checking the man’s CIBIL score.

What did the Man’s CIBIL Score Say?

"The uncle wasn’t too happy with what he saw. Reportedly, the woman’s family was shocked that the prospective groom had multiple loans in his name and from different banks. His CIBIL score was also found to be low. A low CIBIL score indicates a poor credit history. It usually indicates irregular payments, loan default, and financial instability."
Upon reviewing the financial details, the bride’s uncle strongly opposed the marriage, arguing that the man’s financial burdens made him an unsuitable match for his niece. His concerns about the groom’s ability to provide financial security to his future wife were shared by other family members, leading them to withdraw the proposal.

What is the CIBIL Score?

A CIBIL score is a three-digit number that summarizes a person’s credit history. It ranges from 300 to 900. While a higher number indicates a good financial life, a lower score signifies the opposite. Lenders use the CIBIL score to determine a person’s creditworthiness, including their likelihood of repaying debt on time.
