I agree with ajmalhuuss. I'm Indian, and I'll tell you right now, arranged marriages are NOT what they seem. Let me tell you how they work.
First, the parents look at some prospective males/females that they like, and they talk to the other families about that suitor and create an alliance. During this process, they also take their son's/daughter's prefs into mind. Then, they have the son/daughter meet the prospectives and see who they do/don't like. They go from there. (At least that's how it worked for my mom & dad) In no way does it mean your parents pick some random dude/girl from the street and they make you marry him/her. Sheesh. |
