No CIBIL, No Marriage: Bride’s Unusual Test Sparks Debate

In Maharashtra, a young woman refused to marry until she checked her groom’s CIBIL score. Only after confirming his financial stability did she say “yes.”

Her decision sparked huge debate on social media. Many were surprised, calling it a new-age wedding trend.

The bride, from Pune, carefully checked her fiancé’s financial history. His CIBIL score was above 750—considered very good—so she agreed to the marriage.

Why CIBIL Score Matters? A CIBIL score reflects how disciplined a person is with loans and repayments. Banks use it before approving loans or credit cards. The bride wanted to ensure her husband wasn’t financially reckless.

Opinions were divided. Some praised her practicality, saying financial stability is vital for married life. Others criticised, asking: Is money now more important than love and trust?

Traditionally, marriages were based on caste, religion, and family ties. But now, financial independence and personal goals are gaining priority—sometimes even above love.

The bride’s decision shows how Indian youth are redefining marriage. For them, responsibility and stability matter as much as emotions. Is this the beginning of a new wedding culture? (All images: AI-generated)
