The point of arranged is to bring two parties together for marriage arrangement. However, the guy and girl get to choose and decide if they want to go ahead with it or not unlike the traditional style of being imposed on them.
As Brit expat pointed out dating and time spent together is very limited.
I live in Delhi, in fact 90% of the friends that I know end up such that the girl or the guy already loved someone and then their parents meet each other parents to arrange for the wedding based on rituals and cultural proceedings
Times are changing in the new generation in India by a lot.
I do agree with nice too nice on one thing that divorce rate for arranged marriages is far less than love marriages because in India marriages are often considered bond between families and not just two individuals, so there is lot at stake.
I beg to differ slightly with nice too nice.
