[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in South Asia for two years for my job. Arranged marriage was very common where I lived. Domestic violence was also common, to a degree that shocked me, and I do think the arranged marriage culture was a part of this. The "marriage is between two families, not to individuals" mentality meant the family members were involved, and the woman in the marriage had no recourse when her mother had been directed to assure her husband's parents that she would "try harder", that the two of them would "both try." The family failed if the marriage failed. And it was never the man's family at fault, no matter what, not ever. Terrible culture/practice. So I'd say no.[/quote] I agree with this. And I grew up in India. [/quote]
