Marriage? Too Risky

--------------------
Arranged marriage is a risk
With a very high chance of regret
Rollback is not an option
Nor is a Reset

Shattering
and picking up the pieces
will be a pain
How can I love and trust
But still show some refrain

What if he is a freak?
What if he is a wierd geek?
What if he is a cynic?
What if he is unhygienic?

What if he is abusive?
What if he is too possessive?
What if he is a liability?
What if he is low in loyalty?

Should I conduct a written
Before 7 rounds of interviews
Should I follow him for a week
To ascertain his views

Should I analyse his fb post
For the last three years
Should I check his photos
To cross check my fears

Background checks
Reference checks
Is that mandatory?
Ex girlfriend reviews
and analyse her sob story!

Am I being paranoid here?
Can I possibly ever live life
If I am beseeched with such fears
How can I avoid these risks?
How can I mitigate them?

Should I stand on my feet first
Before I search for my mate
Should I make my own living
Before knotting my uncertain fate
