Arranged marriages in India - First the wedding, then the love

[@91rummy]

There are different types even in arranged marriages in India. In South of India, bride and groom both decide who they want to marry after the parents have presented options to them. Some are not consulted and decision taken by parents.. Delhi is not the whole of India..

Firstly, Hinduism places a strong emphasis on individual autonomy and free will. The idea of karma, which is central to Hindu philosophy, suggests that individuals are responsible for their own actions and their own destinies. Therefore, it is believed that every person should be allowed to make their own choices, including the choice of whom to marry. Arranged marriages, on the other hand, often involve coercion or pressure from family members or other external factors, which can undermine the individual's free will. Secondly, Hinduism places great importance on the concept of dharma, which can be loosely translated as "duty" or "righteousness". According to Hindu beliefs, individuals have a duty to fulfill their social and familial obligations, but this duty should not come at the expense of their own happiness or well-being. Arranged marriages, which often prioritize family obligations and social status over individual happiness and compatibility, can be seen as a violation of this principle. Thirdly, Hinduism is a religion that celebrates love, devotion, and spiritual connection. The concept of bhakti, or devotional love, is central to Hindu worship, and it is believed that true love and devotion can lead to a deep and meaningful connection with the divine. Arranged marriages, which are often based on practical considerations such as social status or financial stability, can undermine this ideal and rob individuals of the opportunity to experience true love and connection. Lastly, Hinduism values diversity and individuality, and recognizes that every individual is unique and has their own strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. Arranged marriages, which often involve matching individuals based on external factors such as caste, can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and social hierarchies, and can lead to discrimination and prejudice against certain groups. In conclusion, Hinduism is a religion that celebrates individual autonomy, free will, and spiritual connection, and it is therefore not compatible with the practice of arranged marriages. By encouraging individuals to make their own choices, based on their own preferences and desires, Hinduism promotes healthy and fulfilling relationships that are based on mutual respect, love, and spiritual connection

I know an India friend. He did not mind that his marriage will arranged by his family, and he did married a girl chosen by his parents. But many years later, he divorced, as he described they found incompatible although both have similar social background and university education. After that he found someone and got married again, this time seems right.

[@angiedoe597]

That’s one anecdotal case, there are many Indians who have arranged marriages & have perfectly good, stable, loving marriages too. If it weren’t so, most of the new generation wouldn’t have opted for arranged marriages. There are also many cases of people dating for years, choosing their own spouse & marriage still turning unhappy & in divorce. It’s also dependent on the person the,selves, & their own abilities to adjust with the other person. Self select or arranged, any marriage can be happy or unhappy depending on the people in it.

Marriage is considered an act of union between families, not an act of love between two. The two types of union sometimes can go along with each other, sometimes go conflict.

I would say the act of union and love together because the act of union also encompasses the act of trust and love between two. It also encompasses the act of trust and love to parents by their children. In western modern and posts modern post christian societies these values are gone.

Let's not equate arranged marriage with forced marriage ; this bride knows very well that if she disliked the groom, she could tell her parents and they would not force her. Most modern Indian families like this one, where bride and groom are educated will not force anyone. She herself said it took her a year to decide and they talked and met often. These days the families basically perform the introduction, the decision to marry is the bride and groom's.

Grown men and women should do what they feel is best for them. A lot of people are pressured by their parents to have an arranged marriage. So they're really coerced into it, which really isn't exactly a free choice. Traditionally, in Desi culture, you do not get married because you love the person. They don't consider that. It's more like a business deal. It's mainly about coming from the same background whether it be religion, language, skin color, class, caste, etc. Some people are lucky to actually fall in love with the person they had an arranged marriage with. But for others, love never develops. And it's supposed to be a lifelong commitment. If you divorce, it brings shame on your family. So many stay in unhappy marriages because they don't want to disappoint their families. It seems like a lot of them think love is something to be looked down on and discouraged. It seems like they think divorce is the worst thing in the world. Just because you stayed married doesn't mean you have a healthy or successful marriage. I think it's better to take your time truly getting to know a person for a few years before marrying them. If you get married after knowing someone for a mere few months, you may realize too late that you're with the wrong person. Then what? You're just supposed to stay married and force a relationship that brings no one involved any happiness? It's even worse if you bring children into that situation. It messes them up too. Bottom line is, make your own decisions. And if it doesn't work out, at least you can be happy knowing that you lived for yourself and made your own choices without any regrets. I think that's better than living an unhappy life of regret.

[@hemiltongrace6699]

That's Western mentality where as an adult you have a right to CHOOSE. In Eastern cultures, it simply doesn't apply. There is no free will. You are simply not allowed to marry a person you love IF your parents don't approve. There is no going around it. Entire family disowned you if you marry who you LOVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART that parents didn't agree to. It just how it works. In countries where there is ARRANGED marriage there is simply NO CHOICE to marry who you LOVE without parents AGREEING. They disown their grown sons and daughters for marrying who their parents didn't approve of and agree on. End of story. No free will. If parents DON'T AGREE that means you must SPIT on a person you love and want to marry and listen to mommy and daddy like a little kid.

@@hemiltongrace6699 it's sad. It's just being a slave to parents' wishes. If they truly loved their kids, they would allow them to choose who they love, marry, and procreate with.

Life is not all about lavish wedding, surprise / expensive gifts, high expectations.... earn yourself and spend together with your own limits rather than putting parents life at stake. Another beautiful rule of marriage is only GIVING (love respect, support & sacrifice) rather than TAKING.

Not just in Hindu culture. Even Christianity and Islam says a big no to pre-marital sex.. And answering your question, Yes, even men too must be asked if they're virgin, and that's happening today. I myself know a few girls who rejected men when they found out the men's virginity status. But thousands and thousands of years back, that wasn't the case, because polygamy was prevalent. So ofc, a man who marries 2nd or 3rd time won't be a virgin..
