[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are talking about marriages of parents who grew up and got married in India. Family enmeshment was a bigger issue for that generation than arranged marriages.[/quote] Uh Indian-Am parents here are VERY enmeshed in their kids’ lives even here and 100% expect to be after arranged marriage too. Now some kids here will draw a line BUT in an arranged marriage you don’t know if your intended also wants distance from family or if he 100% expects mama’s involvement (and usually the guys DO want 100% involvement of their fam). And no neither you nor your parents can ask in the transactional process bc future DH and MIL will brand you as “not family oriented” and you aren’t marrying him.[/quote]
