. Christina, I am married and a grandma. Yes, in my generation and my marriage itself was arranged
And as you said it was a tie bet two families. But my nephews being brought up in metro cities
Totally reject any one the amily picks😆. So they ave their own choices. We dont intefere with them too. Even if they make a mistake it is their choice. Our duty was to raise them as good intelligent
Hard working human beings. If they dont like the girl we suggest, we dont force them. That is the maturity we Indians need. Very often parents choose from the amily who are just like yheir family but the son/ daughter has totally different ideas. The actual persons concerned may not be too
Compatible. To digress a bit, the singh family has not learned anything from imposing their
Preference in their child's marriage. For example Bal vivah. As J grew up see what happened.
Big blunder with Suguna. With all this they have not realized that they should not impose their view
On an adult child. In this case Jagia may look like he is mature in accepting what his amily hasDecided, he is not showing any maturity in thinking thru deeply about the merits of this alliance.
True, ganga should not take any initiative even though doing so successfully will save the
Singh family from future misery.
