If u have an arranged marriage, it's not just between u and ur mate, it's more between the two families, because at any time before marriage, either u, ur family, they, or their family can call off the arrangement right? Then afterward, the families have the right to involve themselves in the life of u and ur mate until they or u die right? If this is so, y do so many say that it is a marriage between me and my mate? No it isn't, instead of having two parents, i have four! Instead of having the number of relatives I have...now they're exponentially multiplied! It was hard enough getting along with all these ppl when I was single..and now, married, there's more of them? I know when I got married, it was families marrying each other...but I can't help but buy into the belief that the marriage is solely between me and my husband! Is this true? I only ask because at times ppl tell me what to do, and get pissed when i ignore them...they follow me around wondering y I didn't do as said......
