Is there any meaning in the custom of a boy going to see a girl for marriage and eating "Free Tiffin" in the girl's house? I had gone to see a girl for my marriage for the first time. Before only I had phoned to the girl and told her that I will not be eating any tiffin in her house. I had told her that I will have only coffee. I went to see the girl in her house. The girl's mother gave me a cup of coffee. I liked the coffee. I requested to have another cup of coffee. I spoke with the girl and the girl's mother. Then I touched the girl's mother's feet and took her blessings. Later I came to know that the girl did not like to get married to me. Well, atleast I happy that the girl's mother gave me two cups of coffee. Then I decided that any good person who buys coffee for me is my friend. Second time I went to see another girl for marriage. This time I ate tiffin and drank coffee in the girl's house. The girl's relative repeatedly phoned to our house and asked what I have decided.

The meaning of the custom is that if you refuse it, you have refused her hospitality. No offense intended, but perhaps she found your refusal to take tiffen somewhat impolite.
To tattoo98...: In India, touching the feet of elders is a sign of respect. Tiffen is lunch or a light meal with coffee or tea. We're obviously talking about Indian marriage customs here. Perhaps it would have been best if the question had been directed to other Indians rather than to the general public, however.

It means, I have no idea what you are talking about. And, what is Tiffen? And, why are you touching the mother's feet? Glad you enjoyed the coffee.
