Answer 1

WELL I AM.

Answer 2

hi!,
Actually most of the marriages in the Indian system tend to work bcos of the reason that both the people do not know each other and in the company of each others family and peers, the marriage takes a nice slope of understanding, arranged marriage is definitely working in India, to some extent whereas there are some marriages which do fail due to lack of understanding and lack of communication which usually happens very rarely.

So in short yeah the Indians are definitely a happy lot with the arranged marriage being the main stream of marriage in India.

Answer 3

I feel that most of the people in India are happy with arrange marriage , some might be because of mutual understanding with their relation, some may be they respect each other, some might treat both as equal - and give equal importance, some are born and brought up in such a way that they adjust with all characters so i feel 90% of arrange marriage are happy

Rest 10% not happy with it

Answer 4

Here's my Dr. Phil Shpeel.... This is typical of Indian families here. They overcompensate for the fact that they live in North America surrounded by supposed cultureless, moralless Americans and shelter their kids to the point that they are aliens in this culture. Meanwhile, Indian girls back in India are getting more Americanized. They are having pre-marital sex, living in with their boy friends, divorce is on the rise and the single mom epidemic has started in India too. You in your late 20's in North America living with your parents. Yes, they are paying your bills, protecting you and will also dictate when and where you can get a haircut. If I were you, I did be fixing to get out first and establish myself, because I value my freedom more than anything else... finding the right spouse would be secondary! Once you become independent, you can then mix in Western objectivity with Indian values in evaluating the right guy. Arranged marriages are good in the sense the process of screening marriage worth applicants is rigorous and you can be at peace that the guy you are marrying is not a criminal, a loser, alcoholic etc etc. If you go out on your own to a bar to hook up, you don't know if you are dating a sweet charming serial rapist or a child molester or someone on foodstamps. That is the only value the "process" of arranged marriage provides. Now its quite likely you will find someone in that process who is fairly modern and American and like you. There are no guarantees in life. There are plenty of loveless American marriages between couples who were highschool sweethearts. So the theory that unhappiness only plagues arranged marriages is BS. Here's what I would do. Get out have a place of my own, a job, engage parents in the screening process meanwhile do some dating on your own (please do background checks) and then once you have enough data points collected. Do your analysis.

Answer 5

believe it or not...

most arranged marriages end up being happier than marriages that are by choice. They believe they are "unhappy" when the relationship begins to settle into normality.

First off, people who get married by choice... always end up wondering if they made the *right* choice. Enough time passes, they leave their partner and want to find someone else.

Arragned marriages... there is a much fewer divorce rates. Probably because it's arranged in the first place the culture wouldn't permitt a divorce to begin with. But those people grow into the relation and learn to love one another. Generally, they are happier.

But what does "happy" really mean?

Answer 6

The old generation was happy with the concept of arrange marriage as they are more traditional but now as the generation changing, the society and the thinking of the younger generation is totally changing. They want to know more about each other before tying the knots and whether it is arrange marriage or love marriage knowing each other is the key of long happiness.

Answer 7

in my experience i think it depends on the two people and not on whether marriage is arranged or a love find. there are people who have gone against parents wishes and married and happy with children and grand children.. in the arranged marriage scenario there are disadvantages also.. even in arranged marriages there are in-law problems, nuclear families etc.. so if u ask me i'd say it depends on whether the couple understand each other without egos and care for each other and each other's families making compromises.. or else any marriage be it arranged or love wont work.

Answer 8

This statement is true and false both. In arrange marriages only those people are happy who are very frank and who don't ever think that whether should speak on this situation or not? I can give two examples and both of them are real and seen by me. Both of them are the cases of my elder sisters. The eldest one is very frank. Her mother in law asked my parent for money, my parents asked my sister to be bold enough as she is from her childhood only. Now her matter is solved. It was an arrange marriage. Now in the second case, its love marriage, her in laws are punjabi and they are moneymad. THey thought that my parents will give them money how much they want as we belong to hisgh status then my father brought my sister to our home and then stayed here for 4 months and meanwhile it was announced that my father is sufferinf from liver cancer and its the last stage. My father shoot her mother in law and father in law. If he won't be suffering from cancer then also he would have done the same as no one is there in this universe who can stop him of doing such thing.
