far fetched thoughts

...at least to know that this is pretty much nonsense!

Is this question anything to do with your other one about a Hindu setting? If so, then this might be Indian EN, which would explain a lot!

Do we take it that the 1st and 3rd lines are spoken by the brother who objects to these guests, while the middle line is spoken by the brother who is in favour of it?

If you want us to give you proprer help, please do try and give us all the necessary background information, instead of our having to drag it out of you morsel by morsel like this.

I am more than ever convinced that 'far-fetched' is simply being used incorrectly here, but without proper context to work from, it's almost impossible to guess what the intended meaning might have been, especially coming from the apparent speaker?

I don't know if it going to help: Here is the dialogue

"You cannot trust these foreigners"
"marriage and divorce are far fetched thoughts"
"These people walk into the house with one person and come out with someone else"

...does this 'English' come from?

On the face of it, as jml says, this really doesn't make a lot of sense. Please give us the complete line of dialogue in which this occurs (is it a transcription?) — and preferably the ones before and after, together with who says them, so we can get a better picture of what they might have been trying to say?

far-fetched signifie "exagéré" "tiré par les cheveux", mais la je ne vois pas comme ça sapplique.
