Asking Personal Questions before Marriage

I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question. How common is it to ask extremely personal questions to your potential partner, in an arranged marriage setting, before marriage? For example, asking for a blood test report indicating tests done for STDs, sexual orientation,medical issues, criminal charges, personal debt, etc? One of my good friends(guy) was asked these questions by a woman's parents. He was caught off guard when the lady's parents asked these questions. He answered them though. I request people who have had similar experiences to share their stories.

Questions on debt are very common. Have gotten asked many times.

I had a brief episode on the sexual orientation part. Met a girl on Bharat Matrimony and we were talking for about a week. Thanks to Bumble (lol, the only useful thing that app did to me) I came to know that she was a Bi! Confronted her and she admitted. I mean why are you even on matrimony wasting the time of so many guys and efforts of parents? 🙄

What's wrong on being a bi btw? Curious enough to listen 👂

This is good advice. Sexual orientation is never discussed openly.. many queer folks get married because of pressure from their parents or society in general.
Glad you could find this about the woman.

It's better than asking kundali questions

Please normalise asking these questions, so many sad marriages can be avoided

Buddy, I daily read 10 posts by incels on how to get a gf on this app. You're atleast asking valid questions. Having proper medical examination not just for STDs but for general health is a good thing IMO. Don't shy away and ask elders in family to initiate the talks

Better answered before the wedding than after.
