| Suicide cases happen in case of forced marriages. Being forced to marry is entirely different from arranged marriages. I come from a modern family not ancient family and i wasnt forced. FORCED MARRIAGES ARE A DIFFERENTconcept. The final decision rests with us and not our families. So please dont misinterpret arrange marriages with forced marriages. Cases of forced marriages are obviously not covered by international media. This creates a very bad image of indian culture in foreign countries. Well, its not so. |

I've heard only a few stories on arranged relationships lasting long and happy. Some people(especially women) commit suicide before the day of marriage. This is heard a lot from India.
Woah woah, back the truck up brother! Arranged marriage and forced marriage is not the same thing. We've all condemned forced marriages here. Think of arranged marriage is just your parents setting you up on dates. You go and visit the person and if you like them you get married, if not you don't. |

Non-forced marriages... and they both suicide... Juliet was 13 years old. They fail to mention that when pitching it as the greatest love story ever told. |

- Oh god!. Its not like u r forced to do it. Forced marriages i have already explained earlier. In arrange marriages u r asked to meet the boy/girl , then if both want to meet again for sometime to get to know each other better they do so and then after say a few months if both wants to get married they get married else not. The right and the decision to marry the person is yours and yours only. I was just asked to meet the guy, I liked him a lot , we dated for 6 months and then we got married...and im happy with him
oh!i see ! sorry for didnt clear the situation. thats sounds sweet dear! i wish u the best luck and happiness you will be a great mom ! |

| I could never do the whole arranged marriage thing. Nothing against it, but it's just not for me. :/ |
