Arranged Marriage

Re: Arranged Marriage

the idea of arranged marriage sounds odd to much of western culture because it's not how we're taught. i would immediately reject the idea and so it would never work out. but if an entire culture supports it, and your programmed to give it a chance, there's no reason it can't work.

so much contrast out there. if it works for them, great.

Re: Arranged Marriage

Kick that douche in the nuts who told you that. I cant believe more than 300 million Indians are married to their cousins. Absolute rubbish.

Ok, fine... Maybe it was 30% of the guys at work

Last October I married into a pack of wild spiders. So far I haven't been eaten or had my blood sucked dry, but I can't get out of this fucking web. Trapped for life....

Re: Arranged Marriage

its a whole different world, culture and education over there, they dont view cousins the way the west does, ive never been to india but i have lots of friends from there that i had met in dubai, def wanna visit esp after i read shantaram..

OK check this out, an indian guy came to work one day and he got sweets with him for everyone at work and he said that the reason was that him and his wife had just got a baby, so someone asked him how come you and ur wife got a baby and you haven't taken a vacation for over a year......... and he said my brothar iz there, he said that its a tradition that if the husband is not there its ok for the brother to sleep with his wife but here's the condition "only for child purposes"....i mean no offense to anyone and i know that India is full of deferent religions and beliefs and even languages so im not saying this is common but its a story i heard from more than a person..

he was probably pulling your leg and looks like he did a great job. what's his name? if you can't name him, tell me what part of the country he's from because this is the first time I've heard something like this.

Re: Arranged Marriage

This is a topic I really don't know all that much about, so I really don't have much to add except, I think people should follow their hearts. If your friend feels in his heart and believes this is the right path for him, then who are we to judge. I use to work with a man who married his wife through an arranged marriage and I have never seen two people more perfect for each other. The way I see it , as long as he is happy, then that should be what matters.

Re: Arranged Marriage

My friend is currently getting arranged and loves the whole process due to its convenience (I'm talking about the newer style of arrange marriages which allow you to "try before you buy"). I also have another friend who is going through the same process but is down in the dumps as she keeps getting denied by every guy that her folks match her up with. I'm not against arranged marriages, as like conventional marriages, they definitely have the potential to work AND fail. However it's a shame that many of these arranged marriages are driven by undue family pressure.

I always thought that the aspect of cousin marriages was more accepted in pakistan cultures than indian per se.
