Yeah, despite having said that arranged marriages are hard in today's day and age, I do think for some people it works. I am completely open to it as long as I get a few months at the very least to get to know a boy and decide... basically, I am okay with being set up on a date by family/friends but I want to be able to either fall in love or at least see myself falling in love with the boy before I agree to it.

Love just seems better because you have a better understanding of each other and what you want out of a relationship. I hope that I find someone in medical school next year, for now I am just turning my head in the opposite direction anytime I see a boy, easier to just avoid for now :)

Oh and do you guys think there is a "right age" to get married? I mean we say that Bollywood stars take a long time getting married but honestly, thinking about me going into medicine and med school and what not... by the time I graduate from med school I will be 25 and then 3 years of residency before I start earning decent amount of money to lead a normal lifestyle... so 28 before I can honestly see myself as independent... but is that too late?

Yeah definitely in an arranged marriage too if one get some time in between before taking the plunge... it defintely gives you some insight to the person you are getting married too...

My ccousin who is a ABCD here got marred last year in India... it was a match totally arranged by our grand parents... She did get to meet him few times and then she was engaged and she had close to a year gap in between until she got married...

I have seen a lot of breakups in love maariages too as much as in arranged marriages too. 😊

Hey Priya,

Sorry, I am probably the last person to answer a current news question. Between memorizing all the bones in our hands and learning the way food is absorbed in the stomach, I have had no will to read the news.

That sounds so bad, I can stalk Bollywood but I don't read the news. 🤔

Hopefully someone else can answer that for you

that is so true... actually, there is not any difference at all between a love marriage or an arranged marriage... if you get to know the person before your marriage, i think that is usually enough... however, the same dynamics are needed to sustain both a love marriage or an arranged marriage... in fact, i think arranged marriages work better sometimes, because both partners tend to compromise more... just what i have seen... i've seen a lot of love marriages fail, primarily because people have completely different and sometimes 'unrealistic' expectations... a lot of things change after marriage... and nowadays, most people are too unwilling to compromise...! 😳😳

@ Pari-There is no age limit to get married. However, yes yes my doctorness coming out, if you want to have kids and avoid a "rough" pregnancy then before mid 30s. The generic term, biological clock does tick away ji. That being said, every woman has a different biology. A woman who is 40 + can have very healthy kids. It is just that it has been found that woman above 30s have around 45% or higher chance of having a child with Down Syndrome etc.

There is a 90% abortion rate in women who have found out that their child has Down Syndrome. I find it very heart wrenching. So I would say if someone would abort then should look into other options. You can always adopt ji.
