[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several couples whose marriages are arranged.  I am close enough to some of them to ask nosey questions, and based on that I am convinced that it can work out very nicely if it's done the right way for the right people.  There is a whole cultural backdrop to it, and it's not like these people have been paired off randomly.  Lots of thought goes into the process, often way more than with the "normal" "love" marriages.

I find it interesting that you think these folks honestly answered your “nosey” questions. I’ve lied anytime anyone has asked an intrusive question about my parents’ marriage or arranged marriages generally.[/quote]

Context is everything.  They are close friends and have no reasons to lie.  Plus, I know how to ask questions.  [/quote]

Uh, ok? Are you an American born non-Indian asking a bunch of Indian about their marriage? You seem a little clueless on the level of intimacy they would feel towards you and in how they would respond? Trust me, we deal with people like you everyday.[/quote]

Desi here, knock it off PP. We have non desi friends and we would have no qualms about sharing arranged marriage experiences with them. Not everyone is in a bubble like you where you only mingle with your desi aunties.[/quote]

LOL, heard a lot about adventures of desi aunties from my Indian friends but their own mothers came across to me as open-minded and non-traditional.[/quote]
