Aug 1, 2011 - Times are changing my boyfriend is from India, his parents have asked him if he wants them to find him a wife and he said no! But yet his sister said yes! Usually they choose someone of equal looks, class, education.. It's like a personal match making service! I bet some Americans would like to have a line up to pick and choose from in our horrific dating scene!

Sep 19, 2011 - I have a friend who is Indian and they told me it's like extreme blind dating, it's not a horrible thing if they choose it, and usually they do because well, it's easier than dating so why not? I personally don't have a problem with it, we have things like match.com they have arranged marriage. I wouldn't trust my parents but that is mainly because I'm gay and they would pick a super conservative white christian guy who I just wouldn't want to be around! Different stroke for different folks!

Oct 23, 2011 - My parents had love marriage.Both of them, human rights lawyers fighting the injustice of the 1970s Gov . She gave him shelter during the Emergency because evil Indira Gandhi was locking up everyone who was against her. My father was the leader of the state Youth Congress- so difficult to find a guy who is a fighter for social justice. Now they want me to have an arranged one because all we want is financial stability. My generation is more conservative than my parents' one.

May 26, 2012 - India is a sick society.I am an Indian from India. I am involved in this forced type of arranged marriage system. I never want to marry from my caste understanding the genetic problems it caused. But I was forced by my parents to talk to a "girl" imagine a 26 year old GIRL!!.So eventually my mother kept a knife in her throat and asked me to talk to this GIRL of 26 years else she would move the knife. I decided one 1 CONDIITON. I want to meet this girl alone at a hotel ALONE.
Indianatheistblore Says:
May 26, 2012 - I dont know how but the Womans parents agreed except that the girls mother said she would come. I finally agreed but asked the mother to stay away when we were talking. She hesitatingly agreed (thank God).The conversation went something like this:we talked a lot about Job, weather, movies And then I asked her if she would like to have sex with me and if I was not upto the mark she could walk away from me.She instantly got up and ran away. Sometimes I feel I cannot figure out Indian women.
Indianatheistblore Says:
May 26, 2012 - yes parents bring u to this world. they feed you and teach you to talk etc. but then if everything was done by the parents then why the heck did God give you a brain?.Understand that God has given us a brain for a reason. And we have to use that Brain to decide ALL THINGS by ourselves and not let someone else decide for us.

Jul 18, 2011 - i know some of them do but sometimes the people who are forced into anarranged marriges end up cheatin on their partner because it was never love. i have no problem with it but i think that if your ok with having an arranged marrige then by all means go ahed but i dont think people should be forced.
