Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 22, 2020 Author Staff Share Posted September 22, 2020 What are the possible reasons for this taboo? 1. In the past, perhaps family sizes are large especially in agrarian society + not everyone is rich. 2. Thus it can be a burden to the groom's side if more than one son gets married. 3. As traditionally, the bride marries into the groom's family and not the other way around. 4. And also the dowry that the groom side has to give to the bride's side. Multiply it by two (two sons marriage) and it can become a real burden. 5. Plus the need to squeeze another room for each bride+groom. 6. Perhaps, these are some of the reasons for this taboo of not having more than two sons married in the same year. 7. Not so bad, but I seem to find the comical semblance to our recent political history of a PM, after an election said that if there are more oppositions, he has to find time to... "fix" something. 8. Maybe some Matriarch may come to the same conclusion - not exactly fix but in some instances "tame" two more "outsiders. LOL What's your take? Nowadays, even if one marries into a family... it is temporary perhaps the couple has to wait for their BTO to be ready... LOL It is not like staying with the in-laws altogether. P.S. Malays have a different approach. When the daughter marries a man, the man (was) suppose to stay with the mother-in-law. This is to ensure a 100% thing that her daughter will never be "ill-treated".

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 22, 2020 Author Staff Share Posted September 22, 2020 1. Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store in disguise. 2. Genuine Feng Shui is not about purchasing lots of commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. 3. Always asks: "Must I buy from YOU". 4. In fact the greatest culprit today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. And they are more interest in selling so called "Life-style" products then actually dishing out proper Feng Shui.
