Qwerty, I could say the same about yours and Nita's experience. Among my family (we are 4 siblings, all love marriages - of which two are inter-religious, one inter-cultural!!), friends, acquaintances and neighbours, the majority of marriages are love marriages and in that, the majority are mixed marriages.In my family we are three and myself and my elder brother married according to the wishes of the parents and younger brother married from another community. But out of love and care, our family made it an arranged marriage, Four of my cousines also gone for love marriage and inter religious ones, and parents made it an arranged - cum love marriage out of love and affection. but that doesn't make any guarentee in the relationhips, but guarentee backing from the family at the time of need. Like this, I agree there are exceptions, but most of the cases we see the other way. The latter are the ones that caused the most havoc. However, like I said, after a while things cooled down. My point was - your family will support you, if it cares for you. And if they cut you off because you went against their wishes, then I wouldn't call that a caring family. The debate was whether arranged marriages guarantee happiness, and I think pretty much the consensus is that they don't. Happiness in a marriage comes from what the couples put in. Some people might say that if the in-laws are not happy, they will try to break it up. True, but as I keep reiterating, they do not care for their child's happiness. The only plus point is that you can blame it on someone else when it goes wrong 😊
