OK folks...here is a post for the weekend... The topic is...Arhi marriage...which was long awaited as a sweet candy ...but was delivered like a punch on the face...
Lets look at what is a marriage...
Marriage (or wedlock) is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. The definition of marriage varies according to different cultures, but is usually an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged. Such a union, is often formalized via a wedding ceremony.
Rights and obligationsA marriage bestows rights and obligations on the married parties, and sometimes on relatives as well, being the sole mechanism for the creation of affinal ties (in-laws). These may include:
- Giving a husband/wife or his/her family control over a spouse's sexual services, labor, and property.
- Giving a husband/wife responsibility for a spouse's debts.
- Giving a husband/wife visitation rights when his/her spouse is incarcerated or hospitalized.
- Giving a husband/wife control over his/her spouse's affairs when the spouse is incapacitated.
- Establishing the second legal guardian of a parent's child.
- Establishing a joint fund of property for the benefit of children.
- Establishing a relationship between the families of the spouses.
These rights and obligations may vary between societies, and between groups within society.
So, how many of these aspects did Arnie think about when he proposed a marriage to KKG...right there and then...?😃
My guess...? 1/3rd of #1 only😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Obviously #7...which is like #2 or even #1 in the Indian culture also did not occur to him...
Of course the above deals with the "legal" meaning of a marriage...there are "religious" and "social" meanings of marriage as well...From a religious point of view...traditionally, the main purpose of a "marriage" is to procreate...and from a soial point of view...it is a recognition between a long term committment between a man and a woman...
Also something that Arnie has not thought about...😃
So is he thinking anything at all...or just went through a knee jerk reaction...
Shyamu wants my girl...and wants to leave my sis...
Let me just marry her and it wil solve all problems...But wait...let me do it for only 6 months as the world will change in 6 months because...
- In 6 months...Shyamu will not want her anymore?
- In 6 months my sis will not be so desperate to save her own marriage?
- In 6 months...I will have a new interest and won't care about KKG?
- In 6 months...the world will be totally different than what it is now...so all the problems will take care of themselves...
Seriously Arnie...Are you thinking at all?
