I do agree that by coming up with an agreement with your parents is a win-win idea, however I feel that it's only so from a theoritical standpoint. I do feel that some modern south asian parents will agree but there are also those who still feel that you are a "kid" until you get married. I am particularly referencing to young south asian women. As a young South Asian woman, I face several difficulties such as staying on the same page with my parents by coming up with "win-win" proposals. It's either their way or no way no matter if it will result in your future successes of being more independent and self-reliant. I think the untraditional idea of young women doing things on their own without "daddy's" help puts them at unease. I feel that your article does have some truth in it.
