A Question Posed to Dr. Deepak Chopra

The following question appeared in the column "Ask Deepak Chopra" of Sunday Times of  India (Delhi edition) dated Jan 31st 2010:

 Few days back, I got married. My family spent a lot of money on my wedding and everything was fine. But somewhere inside me, I am not happy since then. I might sound disrespectful, but when I see the wedding album now, I see my parents who still look so young, compared to my husband's parents who must be my grandparent's age. One question constantly keeps bothering me, "Do they deserve me?" I feel I should have waited and got something better. I want to run now-from him, from everyone. Should I accept this as destiny?

Without intending to question the response of  Dr. Chopra, whom I hold in high esteem, and empathizing the feelings of this lady, I must state that this is a case of inviting regrets oneself, simply by taking such important decisions of one's life without due diligence. Come on, did this young lady not observe the age profile of her prospective in laws before getting married ? Was she OK with it then or did she disregard it as trivial and was perhaps too overwhelmed by the prospect of getting married somehow at that time , and leaving everything else to be handled her destiny later on ?

What do you say?
