i am sorry to say but you can't genralize that. what you have stated above is not 100% right. there are people who got married arranged and are so happy. it's the kind of love bonding you get it after marriage and it's there in indian tradition. i wanna ask you. u have emphasised so much on indian arranged marraiges how about love marriages in west...... DOES THAT WORK???????? all the time????? there is no botheration in there culture.
