I've met an Indian couple a long time ago whose marriage was arranged by their parents. At first, the wife was hesitant with her husband as the only time she met him was just before the wedding! The husband, on the other hand, fell in love with her immediately and really tried hard to show her how much she meant to him. Eventually, they had two wonderful kids and are happily living in suburbia somewhere in Illinois.
Apparently, nowadays, single South Asians have more say in choosing their partners. In this article, parents are still choosing the prospective suitors or who they want their sons to court but the children now have veto power. I now wonder what would have happened to those friends of ours if they could choose whom to marry.
Hmm I wonder if we're considered an assisted marriage.
