It is something like a blind date or a friend is setting you up with someone they think they’re nice and suitable.
The very traditional way of arranged marriage is for a relative to call the family and say “ I have gem for your daughter”…). The groom-to-be agrees to a date and visits, with a bouquet of flowers or maybe a small box of chocolate, the family, at the girl’s house.
Also, many families meet the groom outside their homes, for more comfort, and not necessarily that parents have to be around, maybe just the sister or another friend of the girl.
Other families, they don't tell the girl and make it look as if it's a casual meeting with a friend! ummm (once mom commented on my hair and the color of my top, the penny drops right away " let's get over with this guy too"..:))
Personally, it never worked and I’m never forced to say YES. Sometimes the girl is forced to meet the guy, even if she did not want to. If both liked each other later, he may come back again for a couple of times before any official commitment or obligation(i.e engagement).
A friend of mine, who is very educated, rich and independent, accepted to meet a guy (arranged). She is now happier than even and with 2 kids too.
I’m leading a happy life too…married or unmarried that’s not exactly the question..:))
Let me tell you this, I feel pity for guys who have to go through this process, they feel stressed out!...especially if they have a busy (arranged) schedule..:)))
