MARRIAGES, DATING & RELATIONSHIPS IN INDIA. :P *

THINGS I KNOW: *Usually arranged marriages. *Very common in India. *First day you meet is the day you get married. *Marry at very young ages. *Only dated and married people in your caste.

QUESTIONS I HAVE: *Why do they even have arranged marriages? *Why do they disagree with their children finding their own partners? *Why am I so flabbergasted by the idea of arranged marriages?

Answer to first question: People in India have arranged marriages because they've been around them since the fourth century and that has always played an important part in all of their lives. They also have them because it helps maintain the people there. They only marry you to people who are in the same catse as you. They like to live on the legacy and it lets the elders keep the principle of "endogamy." But one of the main reasons they have arranged marriages is for the parents to have control over what their kids do and where they go. Usually the womans parents will pay for everything and then send her off to live with the husband and their family. Sometimes if they dont pay, there are serious cases where the woman will all of a sudden end up in the hospital because she "fell." But we all know the real story. It's really the husbands family and they were dissapointed and angry. And the last reason that they have arranged marriages is because it keeps everything in order so there's no mistakes and "unhealthy relationships."
