“ പെണ്ണുചേരുമ്പോൾ വീടുചേരുകയില്ല; വീടുചേരുമ്പോൾ പെണ്ണു ചേരുകയില്ല”
English Translation:
When the bride matches, the family house does not; and when the house matches, the bride does not. (The universal difficulty of alliances; rarely do individual compatibility and household status align in equal measure.)
