    Font - My sister has been dating this guy, Josh for around 7 years now with seemingly no intent to get married. My sister is one of those people who believe marriage is a scam and doesn't desire it at all and is fine with being just a gf with her bf.

    Font - Multiple times me and my parents have tried explaining to her how getting married is not just about wearing a wedding dress and all and that there are legal advantages and perks that she won't be able to have if she's unmarried.

    Font - She said there are solutions to that and marriage is not a wish neither for her nor josh.
  • 05
    Font - We are deeply conservative and religious and take marriage seriously, so when I had my wedding few months ago I didn't invite Josh because he's not officially tied to my sister. I told her she can have her views on marriage and I can have mine and if she wants me to respect her decisions and views she has to respect mine to and I'm uncomfortable with inviting couples who are neither engaged nor married to my wedding.

    Font - She held it against us for all these months, only attended the ceremony and stayed at the reception for half an hour at most and then left. She was basically absent from my wedding.

    Font - Anyway, couple weeks ago she got into an accident and was hospitalised for few days. The hospital had a strict "close relatives" only policy and basically only my parents could visit my sister as first degree relatives. Josh couldn't see her and was mad they wouldn't allow him.

    Font - She was out of the hospital soon after with no serious injuries. But I used what happened as an opportunity to teach my sister why her being a "little gf" is way different to being a wife and if her and josh were actually married he wouldn't have to miss out on visiting her in the hospital so his lack of visitation is their fault.

    Font - My sister now believes I'm TA for using her accident to teach her a lesson. But I don't believe I am since maybe this could be a wake up call for the both of them.
