The eldest is the kakak hajjah. She has 4 daughters (all at marriagable age, but none are - any mother's nightmare if you ask me..) and a son still in college. Then the high flyer sister - because she gets free tickets to fly anywhere yearly - who has two sons both too young to marry. The CNN-sister aka the family broadcaster has 3 daughters of which one is married and a son whom we dread if he is ever getting married. He told his atok that he is married to his bola.
The lecturer-sister has two daughters, both married (and so she sighed with relief) and two sons, who are too busy at college. Next is the sister with the thick wallet. She has four daughters and fears they do not meet enough guys of their own age. The sister who gossips (we all agreed on this) do not have these issues yet as both children are freshmen at college. And last but not least, the youngest sister with a daughter who is going steady with some guy.
We have never sat down and talk about calun menantu and the children getting married like this before. It was enlightening to hear others do have same issues like you do. It is nice to hear other opinions on the matter. It is good to listen to different views on children, marriage, menantu, and matters yang sama waktu dengannya.
We exchange tips. Exchange books. Exchange doas. And we all unanimously agree that one fine day, one way or another, we will see the ustaz minta penawar untuk anak-anak nie..
