I am afraid of marriage itself.
Same metoo... But my family wouldn't let me live single.... 😫
Especially after the first one(arranged) went kaput... no more 'marriage' for me😅
Genuinely asking, why are you afraid? As an American man, just get a prenup or divorce? Easy peazy

Best comment in a while
It's hella funny that the biggest "advantage" of arranged marriages that the couple can blame their parents if things didn't work out 😂
Just like your parents gonna stay with u forever
Yeah one of the dumbest thing a person can say
Yes my mom blames my dead grandma still!!!
Arranged marriage isn't bad unless it is forced. It's like your friends setting up the two of you except in this case it's your parents doing it.
ur parents= friends but not in my case
The teenagers in the comment section are just throwing random theories (to why the divorce rate is low), 😂 too bad we don't have proper old people more on CZcams (to give real reasons) I am laughing at the comments of those young people.
Divorces are not tabboo in India, in 2023 nor there is a societal pressure those young people make it sound like that you're going to get killed if you divorce how absurd their comments sound.
The real reason for low divorce rate is India is a poor country and its infrastructure is still bad which makes it difficult for men and women to maintain standard of living.
@@peteck007 how old are u,
@@himanshi1970 I'm 30
@@peteck007 still u are not eligible for judging us u are young
In India,you have to get married, that's the ultimate goal according to Indian society. Doesn't matter if it's arranged or love but just get married.😂
and contribute to the overpopulation, yea
Exactly,,,,,,sad but true~
@@gautaminandi5572 only if you're in UP or bihar, lol.. otherwise my state has low population and needs more so it's nothing wrong to overpopulate. It's you biharis and muzlims needs to control yourself
@@gautaminandi5572There is literally not a thing called overpopulation, if you think clearly there is still so much place in India that the whole population can live in a single state without any problem. The only problem is poverty.
@@gautaminandi5572nothing like overpopulation see per capita 😂😂
One of the reasons why divorce rates are low could be the fact that divorce is still looked down in the society. So people who get into arranged marriages might not leave the marriage even if they're unhappy because of family, children and stuff like that
Yes this is it
It's funny how people try to justify this by saying stuff like: In Indian society we value family a lot and we are not like the West and our divorce rates are less cuz we love each other and blah blah blah.
People, humans everywhere love their families, you're not the only society that loves their family. And believe it or not, but Indian society does value community freedom over individual freedom, which is wrong because the constitution guarantees us our individual freedom, as long as we aren't harming others. People are just sick.
It was more beacuse of financial independence, my father mother always fighted but could not divource each other not because of what society would think but because my mother was totally dependent on my father financially and people in India dont have the luxury to pay alimony with their low salary, both my father and mother would be not be able to live on such low income after division of assets. This is the case for 90% of the fighting couples and that is why you see celeberties/rich people getting divourced so easily because they can afford to live alone.
Its still the same case in India today with only 20% of women working in India, after 10 years in marraige if they even want divource their life will became hell knowing they now they need to work and start from scratch, no one gives a job to mid 30's or early 40's women with no experince.

Naah, in India when u are unhappy with marriage, ur family comes together to solve it so matter does not escalate to court. I have yet to see a marriage where people are unhappy in India. They may be there but me not seeing them in 20 yrs proves they are rare, especially in a city like Mumbai
I think it has more to do with the fact that there wouldnt be much of a reason to divorce in an arranged marriage as their is no "love" in it. both the parties signed up for it for mutual benefits than attraction. meanwhile in love marriages you are marrying because you love that person, and unfortunately love can end. hence the divorce.
Arranged Marriages should not be confused with Forced Marriages. Modern day parents arrange dates for their children and if they don't like each other, they say no. No pressure from any end. They move on and look for other people till they find the one. The advantage is that your parents are on the same side as you.
very much agreed with ur comment rather than just letting their children wildly experience love or infatuation and what not and harm their bodies themselves ,our parents come out of their comfort zone and start to look for potential and eligible partner for us whom we can deny if we don't like them and they still be like " yea ok it's not that this is end of the world we will look for more suitable partner whom you can feel comfortable with" people are talking about the mental pressure and emotional damage that we get by having arranged marriage completely forgetting that the love of the life they look for in nowadays trending western style give us youngster more of heartbreak, emotional psychological ,physical damage after experiencing some time of love if breakup happens than these so called love obsessed people are the one to upload status, bio and comments here and there in social media saying "love is nothing but illusion" "people are fake , no one is genuine" "I am insecure about way I am, why did my partner abandon me " and also "suicidal thought" etc. I am personally not saying that one is best and other is not, Yes I agree that there are abusive arranged marriages which the media portray as the bio of India in general but equal no. of abusive love marriage do exists and there are marriages that are wholesome and fulfilling too in both cases the thing that doesn't set quite right with my core is that don't generalize the whole elder generation that all of them are just control freaks and they don't have life of their own and just want to control their child and plz for the god sake don't demean their effort as if it is crime to think of the well being of their child, it is what make us different from whole world where generally where parents just let their child with whoever they want with and rarely get any update how's they doing and what not or even helping them financially parent in India never abandon their duty in any phase of life they still try collect assets for u and ur spouse to live comfortable with, assets for grandchild and many day to day life it's as if our parent are always on our side no matter what
What nonsense....it's forced marraige. Parents especially mother does emotional blackmail on their children to get married wherever they want.
this is a minority of arranged marriages. some of us are lucky our parents have evolved. but a lot of people are pressured into marriage and pressured into picking a specific person. this is the reality of india today as well and still the status quo. arranged marriage is not that easy and problem-free. there is a lot of societal pressure which takes away the individuals freedom - and to the point that i would call a lot of arranged marriages forced. modern people in india are becoming less and less thanks to the government and this conservative agenda. unfortunately saying no is a privilege for most girls, not the norm. forced marriage is something else, but truthfully noone uses that word to describe their situation, and would still refer to it as an arranged marriage.
Disagree, based on what others on this page are saying as well as in the video. When parents are pressuring to get married around a certain age, then increasingly so as one gets older, then that is a type of coercion/force.
Dear sister just ignore these buggers they don't know the difference between Arranged marriage and forced marriage
Parents will never forced their children to marry against their will definitely if they are true parents
As a person from North East India where Love Marriage is a thing since the decade our parents never try to find partner for us. The only time when they'll try to find is when you turn 37+ to 40+ that's when they'll try to tell their friends and cousins to look for man/woman that can be in relationship with their kids but they never take serious.
On other hand, what I've notice from mainland North Indians many go for arranged marriage and many of their parents start pressuring their children once they reached 24yr old. When I first came to Delhi in 2015 it was a culture shock for me to finding out how my friends are getting married in 24 yr old due to family's pressure as apparently for them they're getting old.
In North East India 24-25yr are still very young to marry. Family pressure often start when we turn 30+ but that too they only tell us to be in relationship and to marry since arranged marriage isn't in our culture.
Lastly, As a 30yr old woman still single for 5 years my parents only pressure for me is to crack UPSC and state exam or to get job in government sector cus they're not interested in corporate job. Marriage pressure isn't common in North East India. Sometimes we're blessed to be born in NE.
Yeah
Don't interact with these low level castist mentality people of mainland
I don't it's true for men. Parents only pressurize women because of culture taboos. I have seen my cousins get married at right age and many get married before also because they find better person at that time. I too want my own sister to get married at around 26-27, coz that's the best age for girls considering future.
@@saman_pradhan as a doctor i would like to give you an insight. Very common mislead preconception is 25 -28 good age good egg. It's all different for different mind. No Age is perfect to get married or have kids . Nowadays even in remote areas early 20 something females are coming with same complications the ones encountered by 30 something females.
@@meghakaradwal NO UTERUS NO OPINION means?
I got arranged marriage as well. Till 25 i was focused on shaping my career and being an introvert it's difficult to approach a girl for relationship even though I had many female friends.
I had worked only for 8 months in office and once pandemic started it's all work from home till now and there's no question of meeting new people if my world just likys to home and countable number of friends.
Just because it was arranged marriage, it didn't go against my will. I met my wife in restaurant which was planned by both our families. It was like date by your parents fixed it up but not through friends circle or some fancy dating app.
Are you happy
@@harshadashinde259 yup... We both are sports freaks and ambitious. There might be small uncomfortable zone if relatives exists but when we both are live in privacy it's all good
@@abhishek8243yayyy happy for you ❤
@@abhishek8243 I was also an introvert and I was totally unemployed till age 26 with a PG in Electrical Engineering. At age 28 I got my first full time job in the private sector but the work pressure was terrible. I resigned to join an even lower paid contract job in a PSU for better work life balance and it only got worse with a micromanagement boss. I married at the beginning of age 30 through arranged marriage because my family started telling me that no body would marry me after 30. It was economic struggle for the first 1 year thanks to my low paying contract job, work pressure and unemployed spouse. But fortunately when I turned 31, my wife got a degree level government job and by age 32 my job at the local state PSU got permanent. Now we are both happy with the turn of things and we are so far happily married.😊
Did you take dowry??
"in delhi we are more developed" 😂😂😂 had me laughing way too hard
Yes that much developed that no one helps each other
Exactly
Delhi NCR is literally 2nd in GDP per capita in India
Developed people with developed crimes
@@sneha1848 population density in Delhi is high too . Even if the crime rates are high comparing to the population it's still less . You can't generalise. Capital cities of countries are famous for crimes too because of more opportunities in all good as well bad work . People migrate for crimes as well as good job opportunities.
Delhi has areas where it's developed and also areas like rural one's.
People commenting about arrange marriage lasting longer ....idk man in india divorce is a taboo still and if you make a decision to choose a partner it's easier to divorce.
And Personally I see many adults keeping their marriage together for their families even if it's abusive. I'd choose short marriage over an abusive one anytime.
Love marriage have high abuse rate statistically. In love marriage people are more tolerant because of love.
@@dy578 Domestic violence isn't properly reported in India and even when reported it is dismissed, most marriages in India are arranged. In love marriage people are more likely to report abuse.
@@therealgrimreaper68 exactly
@@therealgrimreaper68 not true. it's exactly opposite. People in love marriage is more tolerant to abuse than people in arrange marriage (if you ignore the society). "Love is blind" statement is very true, many time people stay with abusive partner while ignoring all red flags.
@@dy578 there are love marriages which work and ones which don't work but in love marriage they are more likely to leave if it doesn't work. If they are tolerant to abuse then why isn't divorce rate lower? Why is it higher? It is because they are less likely to tolerate abuse.
Being a northeastern Indian, i can say we girls from northeast are living our best life. Here parents don't really want their children to get married before age 30 and we don't really have arrange marriage kind of things . My mom herself had love marriage at the 28 age.
But in some places hiding or escaped marriage also happens
Am from west bengal now a days am seeing a lot of love marriage here too.
visit Tripura
Aww that's good. Even my mom married at 28, she is South Indian though.
Come to Vidharbha and Telangana
Arranged marriage dominates here and I m not even against it
In Telugu and Marathi communities its very common
According to me one of the main reasons Arrange marriage is popular in India is because there isn't much interaction between boys and girls especially speaking from male's perspective most of the men in India have a very little interaction or no interaction at all with the opposite gender in there entire life, so when the guy is settled and looking forward to get married he has absolutely no idea how to approach a girl because of lack of communication skills and understanding of opposite gender and what should he expect out of that marriage that is where parents come into the picture and look for a suitable partner for the guy plus there is societal pressure as well
He can observe his daughter and mothers mindset.
@@sidhkon8543 Environment in home and outside is totally different. In home male or female can interact each other every time. But they see them as a family members not as a friend or partner which impacts the feelings of people. But in outside people try to become friends with opposite gender but most of the time they are shy. Due to that they can't able to approach anyone. And not able to express their feelings for them.
In one way or another way arrange marriage is not bad. Neither love marriage.
@@user-sn1xi1gg8v marriage is a trap of losses
@@sidhkon8543 So far it wasn't all bad from my experience. You get a feeling that you got somebody to care for you.
@@Traderking1990 if you want care giver than bring a nurse. Are you a little boy that someone have to take care you for whole life.
I have nothing against arranged marriages if it's consensual and not pressurised. Being from NE India, I will always opt for love marriage (in case I do plan to marry) I'm a 33 yr old female and unmarried. Not once I have been asked by my family to get married. The decision solely lies on me. I'm all for a committed relationship but still unsure about marriage and having children, especially.
Whether people plan arranged or love marriage or no marriage at all, the most important thing is your happiness.
Why do u even think arranged marriages are forced??? Look I know NE people are attacked by some racists in mainland but that never gives u the right to attack every mainland customs.
@@Naveenbr-kp8gc1yi3d arrange marriage is not a foreign concept in NE buddy. She has the right to attack a custom from her own culture and country.
hmm, You are failing to realize that not all arranged union is consensual. Yeah some may be pressured but also there's some that is happily done.
Are you choosing not to marry? 33 is old age and prospect of healthy children is reduced greatly
@@blazingst4rz Buddy, 33 isn't considered an old age. I don't have any plans to bear children so it doesn't matter if I get married at a later stage. 🙂

@@Indian_Tovarisch interestingly the "Love marriages" are getting very popularised in Maharashtra, it used to be tabboo to even invite people to weddings of their sons and daughters if they married into another castes, nowadays it has become normal to get a wedding invitation where a groom and bride are from different castes.
True bro.. 👍
very true, these people maybe represent only 1-2% of indian population lol
Dude get some common sense. They're obviously likely to approach English speaking folks as it's a channel catering to an international audience. Ask your local journalists to cover regional issues.
To those who think arrange marriage is better because divorce rates are low, it's not.
Because divorce is taboo, not because people are happy in their marriage. Women don't file for divorce even if husband is abusive most of the time and they don't get family support because of how stigmatised it is. In love marriage people are more empowered in their marriage, they have more freedom in their marriage.
Low divorce rates are not a good thing
Correction: Low divorce rates are a good thing provided that individual freedom to divorce is not restricted by factors such as family and societal pressure.
@@yash1756 which is why it isn't a good thing
@@yash1756 why should anyone have to marry at first place.
It depends on your perspective. It is true that women don't file for divorce even if her husband is abuser therefore low divorce rate is not a good thing But you are forgetting that domestic violence is not the only reason for divorce. There are many other reasons too. Thats why in some cases low divorce rate good but not in every case.
@@a.m.p.3545 and even if they're just incompatible divorce is not a bad thing
An Indian here, I have already rejected four boys introduced by my parents And not even once did my parents put pressure on me. There was no argument like "why don't you like him or just get married to him." after my No, arrange marriage is just like you get married to person introduced by your friends or dating app and in our case, parents unless you decide to jump to conclusion that your parents are forcing you.
Bus karo didi 😅😂
I also rejected 6-7 girls which was selected by my parents(arranged marriage). Bcz majority of these girls came for 💵 or nothing 😅. And also somehow I deleted my matrimonial id bcz I'm too much fed up with these gold diggers and their fmly who are looking for an ATM for their daughter 😂
@@Here_we_go..557 look for women who are self sufficient career wise. If you’re looking for a housewife of course she’s going to want you to be a high earner.
Men asking for dowry and then pretending girls digging for money is like chicken saying KFC protected her from living a worthless life, bas kar Bhai.

@@multiverse6989 lol with the kind of gender biased laws in the practice, not even a girl with a look of cindrellla or whatever is desirable. There are very few women out there who are desirable. Women lost prime purpose of their life which was raising families with so called feminist and women empowerment movement they are now distracted with charm of being independent and strong which they clearly are not. A man can survive without a woman but a woman can't. The civilization is bound to fall. Very few men will get into a marriage in future
Just stay single this is the best 😂. Both Love and Arrange marriage has equal toxic side. I would prefer staying alone than forcing myself to be in a relationship with a man that I don't even love.
Judging by your PFP and name, im guessing you are between 14 and 22? Well I will just say that that whole young idealistic notion of "just stay single" gets really lonely in your mid to late 30s and that tune changes real quick. Once you realize you are mortal and that life gets scarier and lonlier as your family starts to age and die and your friends just aren't around as much because they have their own families, suddenly you feel incredibly alone in the world.
@@Bushviper yeah I'm 19. And yeah if I ever feel like I'm in love then maybe yeah but marrying someone just for family sake is completely no for me. And ofcourse even if I'll do love marriage I will want my parents to be happy with my choice as well. I have relatives that's 35 and when I ask her if she wants to get married or not she always she marriage is just headache,she only dated once and after that decided to single which is the perfect choice.
@@Bushviper there is nothing wrong with staying single and wanting to. Don’t try to pressure people into “life is short! Just get into a relationship!” I’ve seen plenty of people that are older and are happily single.
same, I'm 26 and honestly I want to stay single and don't want to get married.
Don't worry you're safe being a BTS stan on the internet
The reason why arranged marriages lasts longer is bcoz of the indian society. Firstly most of the women don't work here after marriage,so they're dependent on husbands,so even if they don't like the person,they have to stay with dem. And the society treats a divorced woman kind of bad, and there's no concept of dating here,unless they find some uncle,they will stay lonely. Unmarried men + divorced woman is a bad combination in here, society wont accept it but for divorced men, they can marry an unmarried girl again.
So its mostly the women that hold their relationships together bcoz of these scenarios in arranged marriages.
In love marriage,they only stay together if they love each other. No responsibilities r upon them bcoz its their choice to get married and no one can come between them,even their families. So there's more room for divorces bcoz they're not forced by the society to stay together.
Don't marry.
Arrange marriage or love marriage both are useless.
@@sidhkon8543 that's true😂

@@sidhkon8543 Ok incel
Indians :- Indian Culture 😂😂
Educated People:- it's just Caste System 😂😂
Nope. As a taxpayer citizen I disagree.
@@AmishKumar-lc7zs how does you being a taxpayer have any relevance to your argument
So I'm an Indian and I personally have no problem with the idea of arranged marriage. Arranged marriages are not like what people think they are. it's just your parents find a guy/ girl for you instead of you while considering all the factors ( family background, education, job) and then you do get to decide if you want to marry that person or not. I agree that it's more like gambling too because the decision could be wrong too but then again the biggest perk is the blame does not come over you as it will be in love marriage. I guess most people are against love marriages is because they believe love alone can't work and other factors are not considered (like family background, financial stability, CASTE) . Also, people thinking that arranged marriages are forced and there's no love are wrong too the idea is people get married first and then fall in love. And even if they don't, most of them still decide to continue the marriage and not divorce as india is a collectivistic society so people tend to think of society, family, children and many factors rather than leaving each other like people in individualistc society do. So there are pros and cons but things are changing for the better too as people in arranged marriages are choosing to leave if that's a abusive one rather than continuing it forcefully .
According to me marriage is a trap. Either its arranged or attracted
Yup ideally this should work. Ideally arranged marriages are very good if both partners click. But in some parts of India it is not a choice and even divorce is not a choice even now. I have an aunt who got divorced but she is looked down upon even when her ex-husband was the one who cheated on her and abused her. This stigma should change as a society.
@@imr004 yes.
I mean you literally customise your partner and then decude to fall in love.While in love marriage the love thing the falling for taht person is completely natural
@@imr004 Agreed!! Divorce is itself seen as a taboo and for a woman it becomes more difficult. And yes I missed this point, the choice need to be given whether it's for love for arranged!
I know a lot of people who are with a bad partner and living a unhappy life and all of them had arranged marriage
Arranged marriage has a big chance of ending up with a wrong person since familys can do background check and they cant assess their personality thats why dating is important
The thing is we have to normalize divorce and not be judgemental and shame love marriages
True
????that's why education is important...think 2 times before you speak.....love marriage too have bad partners...sala jitna chutiyapa love marriage me hota hai...usse to kam hi arrange me hota h....ttu love marriage hi kr lio...agr chal gaya to thk agr nhi work kia...to yaad krna apne baap ko...ki are baap ne to bola tha arrange marriage krne ko...mai hi chutiya tha jo nhi kia..
just sssttttffffuu single digit IQ rtrd!
well the courts say, more divorces come up from love marriages. So clearly the mode of marriage is not correlated to the partners' efforts of sustaining the marriage. Ignore this statement and act cool. hahaha culture bad hahaha.
Not all arrange marriages are forced or bad
Marriage in India is a whole another game. It is not about two people wanting to live together but it is more of a family affair. The family "name and honor" is still a big deal and they would never let you marry if the person you are marrying has an equal or lower "status" than you. If you are marrying rich, they'll have ZERO qualms about it. Marriage in India is very intrusive and the couple marrying has no rights over their own marriage. The word "privacy" in the Indian dictionary means the couple is rebellious and is actually trying to disregard the emotion of their parents. A married couple can have the "privacy" if their parents allow them to have it. P.S. by privacy I mean privacy, not sex. That is a different story.
Arrange marriage is basically an institution used for caste consolidation.
Exceptions are rare.
@@manurvabhah Yep. In fact it is. One of the solution to reducing caste differences, as suggested by various academicians and even by Ambedkar and Phule, was of intercaste marriage, so that there is more mobility and mixing of castes, and the identity of it is lost. But Arrange marriages itself is the basis of marriages to someone from primarily the same caste, and then comes other factors of job, family wealth, status, etc. Even if we see not of regular middle class arranged marriages, but rather of the rich Indian Marriages, there might not be a single example of intercaste marriage, and it is not by coincidence, but it is how the institution is designed. No wonder caste is mentioned as a social division, that lacks upward mobility.
@@manurvabhah Yes exactly you stated the reason in your question itself, that is they do practice endogamy marriages or consolidation marriages, and the concept of arrange marriage be it religion or caste or tribe, it is still the consolidation if the identity. But with the specificity of caste is that, unlike other identity of religion or tribe, caste is a non mobile means of social segregation, , and is discriminatory in its idea itself. That is why this consolidation of marriages on the basis of caste is creating more caste consolidation rather than intermingling of caste. And yes for the fact you stated, it is very correct, it does happen with other identities too, and the same logic applies too there. But just the caste identity is rather a very exclusionary identity rather than inclusionary one
Caste is important identity
Even if I will do love marriage I will keep in my mind to date a girl from same caste
Which is Based
Eventually every marriage in India is a arrangement between two families.
Caste is a huge factor in arrange marriage.....
And some Indians saying Caste is fading... but it is prominent here
@@yachishairclips2250 So you are saying casteism is much worst now than, the last 50 years? Who are you kidding?
Many people prefer to marry in their own community. Why do you care ?
@@slavemaster153 true
@@yachishairclips2250 For us Yadavs, Jatt and Marathas, some others, caste is more like clans. Actually, it is our clan. So, what's the big deal if we want to marry in the same clan. Of course, if one wants to marry in different caste, he/she is free to do so.
Worthless question this is, it's an individual's personal choice, whatever the reason is, that's personal as well. Let me give an one line answer of this question: We have couple of options to find a life partner while the rest have only one.
There’s a video going viral right now on twitter of a Indian man brutally unaliving a young woman because she declined arranged marriage 😢
Freaks will be freaks, whether you do arranged marriage or love marriage
So u belive all are like that. Typical westerner.
Assamese here, me and my friends are in a age group where we're all financially settled and now the next step is to get married. our parents are telling us to find OURSELVES our ideal guys and then our parents will contemplate whether they're suitable or not. My Colleagues who are from UP, Rajasthan, Haryan and Bihar mostly ALL of them had arrange marriages some of them are happy no doubt but some of the men are cheating on their wives and constantly tell us that they're not happy with their parents' choices and thus the cheating. It's sad really
Our marriage was arranged by our parents 46 years ago. We are still happily together. Arranged or love marriage does not matter. You must make a commitment to your spouse fully and strive to make the marriage work. Ideally, you should be willing to sacrifice or forgo anything to keep your commitment!. My biggest worry today is "will she be able to take care of herself once I am gone? "
My good friend didn't like the first two men her parents wanted her to marry. She liked the third guy & married him. My friend told me that its ridiculous how much money parents spend on Indian weddings. She's not going to spend 1 million dollars like her parents did for her. I couldn't believe 3,000 people came to her wedding. Plus, many people go to Indian weddings without being invited because all are welcome. I told her in America they have restaurants require a body count so they know how much food to make.
Honestly it makes me sick thinking about all those people at one wedding. I can’t even imagine more than 30 people at mine, and that’s including my bf’s side of the family too. That’s too much work, money and energy to keep up. Seems like people just want to take advantage of when it comes to Indian weddings. Sounds like a nightmare!

Which part of India did you go???
I am a genz working women financial independent but i will go for arrange marriage. This is priority of most Indians frankly most of us have no time or luxury to fall in love convince our parents then go throught breakups then marry...everything is complex. In arrange marriage you can specify what you want clearly. Also the girl who says arrange marriage is a gmable is wrong...the matchmaker did not search a good guy and you alwayz have a choice of divorce. I would rather say love marriage is risky because you know only 1 dimension if that man who acts like a Bollywood star for u. In arrange you know his family, drinking smoking etc., you check everything from neighbors to degree to income everything there are very less surprises in arrange marriage.
The couple with white shirt man and specs is right for most answers.
I will be blunt here divorce is not really bad. Society just wants a dig at you to judge and rank you based on that.
No.. divorce is actually harmful
Women are especially vulnerable , because of this predatory mindset
@@LetsbeHonest97 nope
These people are just parroting stuff they read on the Internet and this is tad bit boring that they asked only young people. Divorce rate is low not because society hates it, or just like how these people made it sound like the society gets you killed😂 if you divorce. But the thing is divorce doesn't happen because there's no proper infrastructure, for men and mostly women to live life as a single parent. Also there's a less participation of women in work force so it makes it even more difficult for women to survive.
Other factors include, people are lazy in India children are not properly nurtured to be independent or live on their own since childhood. So for young adults who recently got married and thinking of splitting may have a difficult time to just go for divorce since that would make their standard of living dropping low.

Arranged can be happy too so is not all tragic like people think. I know 2 arranged marriages that are extremely blissful and happy. One is my sister in law’s parents who were in an arranged marriage and are now very happily married for 61 years now. They have 8 kids and 20 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Another is my friend’s parents who are happily married for 47 years now with 3 kids and 6 grandchildren. Arranged marriages or any kind of marriage takes work and effort. Dating for long periods of time prior to marriage is not a guarantee as you need to learn as you go since you change as well as your partner.

Its pretty normal for me either love or arranged marriages both you have to give your 100%. And nowadays who only sees a picture before marriage, people go out check their compatibility and then only decides for themselves. Its more like tinder except thro your parent rather than app.
Arranged or love marriage but anything without support from Family and more importantly without support from relatives and society is bound to face much more hardships. Because the concept of love itself has become more individualized. But love must come with respect and it must be with everyone we encounter in our life. Marriage is a part of the whole bigger love we give and get from this world. Due to industrialisation, modernisation and westernization the idea of love also has become commercial that people say arranged marriage/ love marriage!!!

There is this stigma going around, when it comes to arrange marriages in India. Peope imagine that Arrange marriages are forced upon Youngesters, and the partners are strictly their parent's choice. Which might be True in some Cases, but at least in the Current the reak meaning differs from it a lot. Arrange marriages are supposed to be Decisions taken on with Rationality and Logic aspects rather letting you emotions take better of you (which is the case in some love marriages). Rational/Practical factors like, Education, Family Background, Beliefs, Income, Same culture are somethings which is considered firsthand by both sides, as having some sort assimilation and similarities among each other and among there family is very important. Arrange marriages are bascially like taking advantages of you parents or elders experience in consideration, which might prove to a very big factor in for a happy relationship. At least in my community it is very common to let People choose there Partners on their own, and supported by their parents as well, as long as it is based on Practicality and not on Emotional Bias. And it also very common to let your parents find you a suitable Partner, which is true for both Guys and Girls (Inclusive of other genders as well).

Yes agree
I think the olden days when most people lived in agrarian societies, arranged marriages worked because they’re similar / homogenous cultures fewer range of professions. These days there are so many options and personalities that it can be more difficult to land a partner that’s compatible. As long as both the families and the partners are committed to helping the marriage work, it doesn’t matter whether it’s from love or arrangement.

If one wants to marry in same caste, what's the problem. If their preference is fair skinned person what's the problem. For Money no argument. You must know the difference between "Preference" and "Discrimination".
For some fair skin is more appealing than darker skins, what's the problem in that? Problem is he/she should not be harassed for her color. Preference is different for everyone. Some prefers more intelligent, some more good-looking, some prefers same caste, I don't see any problem in that. Though, forcing is wrong. Some parents want their children to marry in same caste, but if they are able to get a good person, what's the problem in that?
Simple....
People in the west or anywhere in the world do that too. Why are Indian taunted for finding bright skin girls or boys or using bleaching stuffs (Though I hate chemicals) when even in west people go for tans parlors or beaches, those who have very pale white skin, do make ups like eye lashes and all? It's simply they prefer to do it.
Last year, a survey conducted among Indian youths. The question will you marry someone from outside your caste ? 90 percent of them responded “NO”. Even if it’s love they will prefer from same caste like forward caste will marry from other forward caste, OBC from other OBC etc..
If this was the response from Indian educated youths I feel very sorry and hopeless. Still many of my friends say caste is no more an issue in India but the survey tells a different story.

Indian arranged marriage is basically Tinder with extra steps (in some cases)
A big reason for our parents to prefer arranged marriage is also caste. In love marriages, the chances of your partner being of a different caste are way higher, but in an arranged marriage they always go for the same caste. However, there are exceptions even in love marriages, like a friend of mine preferred to date a guy only after ensuring that he is from the same caste as hers because her family would never have accepted a guy from another caste. Very rarely some parents look for partners of other castes for their children but this is also an exception because in such cases their own child is either divorced, differently abled, or manglik (a problem in astrology), all of these make their child a non-suitable partner for many. Indian parents still can't accept their children's love marriage if their partner belongs to a different caste. Sometimes the parents even abandon their children if they go against their wishes to marry someone from another caste (let alone religion).
Indians are still living in the 14th century.
This is the reality of most of the families specially middle class and lower class. Surprising how nobody mentioned caste system much as it is a product of caste system and yes India still lives in 1400s when it comes to these issues even in cities.

@@Ansh.Rajpu.t That is such a stupid ideology and the aspect of blood being pure only if a person marries of the same caste is completely illogical and is the reason why India is still lagging behind various factors.
Being from Sri Lanka, it's still weird to find that most of our mainland cousins have to go through arraned marriage to get married. What's even weirder is people calling marriages "love marriages". Here, most people marry through relationships. Arranged marriages are conducted only when their children are getting old (like 30+). Personally, I have only witnessed one arrange marriage and it too happened because both the groom and the bride were 30+.
This wasn't always the case though as we used to have arrange marriages like any other country in the old days. But love marriages started to become very common after 1970-80s Imo. I think the main reason for this is the almost non existent caste system of Sri Lanka, ateast among the Sinhalese. So it makes sense why areanged marriages are still prevalent in India as caste system is still going strong. Interesting stuff.
Sri Lanka is Christian country (Buddism only for name sake). Some people won't understand arranged marriages ever

Exactly the reason why Srilanka collapsed.
Indian system worked well across all time period in the history of India exept when invaded.
The caste system if executed rightly is the perfect system originally it was called Varna system. A society only function if everyone do their job properly thats the intention of the system.
So in ancient times people with different affinities chose their job
Brahmin = teachers/priests
Kshatriyas = warriors
Vyshyas = Merchants, traders
Shudras = Manual Labours
When invasion or war happens this system become rigid so that the society cannot collapse due to the lack of people among certain class.
The reason Buddism collapsed in Indian subcontinent is due to this. Remember the time when Afganistan was entirely Buddist? They moved from Hinduism to Buddism for a long time and lived peacefully but a land full of praying monks and preaching ahimsa can't stop invading forces, another example the Chinese invasion of Tibet.
The Kshatriyas defended India for a long time, Srilanka Being a island Nation doesn't found much threat unlike India.
Just Thinking of marriage makes me want to run away in a different planet .
I have two friends who married through arranged marriages and are happy- I can appreciate that in a world where the norm is for men to use women and vice versa until everyone is single and heartbroken. The families liking each other is a big plus!
I'm western and I think arranged marriage is good. Western marriage divorce rate is almost 50%. So western marriage ideals fail
What's bad in it
The reason for that is not because of an arranged marriage
Because divorce is taboo, not because people are happy in their marriage. Women don't file for divorce even if husband is abusive most of the time and they don't get family support because of how stigmatised it is. In love marriage people are more empowered in their marriage.

As long as you have the option to reject or say no to a candidate, arranged marriages are no different than having a friend or app set you up.
For us, not Indians... It is hard to judge a culture that is outside our jurisdiction... It is nice to learn this part of their culture..
In my observation, few minutes in the video and in the comments... It seems that the Indians prefers arranged marriages because of how their culture is built.. it is about the marriage or alliance of two families.. and also of how sure that they won't be marrying just random people... it is the people that actually the family knows..
But idk.. since many of these marriages are linked with families.. it is hard to break it off
Edit: Indians in the video have traditional mindset set in stone by their elders
Edit 2: It seems that the younger generation is moving into love marriages and it is hard to conclude which is better amongst who are in the video.. and thus, this is an issue..
People who hardly know each other are married off. There is no alliance of two families. Often, the woman's mother in law harasses the woman and her family for dowry. Some men who can't find a woman benefit from arranged marriage and defend it aggressively. The woman who have already their fate decided by parents and was lucky to find a good man will also defend arranged marriage. Most women want to marry a man they know and love.
First thing is not everyone here gets the time to try dating and handle Work side by side. So , arranged marriage is a great option for those who think they are of age now and want to get settled. And in above scenario proper meetings with family as well as individual time is taken by boy and girl just like dating to get to know each other . Which often takes months to a year . This kind of arranged marriage is progressive one and influenced for modern society.
The infamous arrange marriage which is the hated one is the kind where the two people concerned don't get the choice to decide if they wanna get married now or right and don't get to talk to person. It just happens for business and dowry , girls family(poor one) want to send their girl to a good household(also taking off their burden) by giving dowry, and boys family just see which girls family will offer more money in dowry and the boy doesn't get the choice to decide the girl. This kind of arranged marriage is practiced in rural areas mostly .
@@limitlesky Yes and then they will cheat because the love isn't the same anymore.
It honestly depends, arranged is better if you aren’t married into an abusive or loveless relationship (which happens to be more rare from my point). There is still love and consent but with the added inclusion of family ties
@@sheevpalps3846 What is the guarente that love marriages don't turn into abusive or loveless relationship ? In fact most love marriages in the West end up in divorce despite being love marriages. If both partners are willing to adjust then the marriage will last. This is from my experience as an arranged married man with a 2 year anniversary.
I think arranged marriages are fine as long as it’s consensual. My uncle got arranged married, but he and his bride had a bit of time to get to know each other and agree.
Same things happen in Tinder though, you see picture, talk, meet and then decide whether you wanna marry the person or not. Arrange is not equivalent to forced.

From my POV that's the first thing and the latter comes the part where you meet a lot of people through that passion and through the journey if you end up with a person then go marry otherwise I'd say keep loving what you do..
U know, love or arranged, marriage itself is a nightmare...

This debate of Arranged Marriages vs Love Marriages has no winner at the end. Both have their pros and cons. Parents of this generation are open to their son or daughter looking for a love marriage. Not that long ago, love marriages were discouraged but now that that is lifted, young generation is looking to get into relationships. I know people who made it work, I know people who couldn't due to their partners being involved in a polyamorous situation. One should also ponder the question, in near future, India would reach the cultural status of US or UK where divorces are common and polyamory is common. Now, in that situation, finding a trustworthy partner is hard. In such situations, I think arrange marriages would work. There are many counter arguments to what I just said. I think keeping arrange marriage concept is better, not that people should prefer it.

It's true that most people in India or even the Indian subcontinent prefer arranged marriages but they are not as some people may be thinking and not at all like the way young man in the video have described. The fact is that time have changed a lot and today people are although met each other through family the decision to whether marry or not is taken by them only ( in almost all cases).
Moreover marriage is generally done after bare minimum of 6 to 7 months depending on the 'auspicious day'.
I have attended at least 15 marriages personally and all of them had at least a gap of 10 months from meeting to marriage. In between boy and girl talk to each other go outside together for quite some time.
I have such a big respect for Indian people, specially women. I say this because I had more chance to talk with womens than mens in my tech job and they're always dedicated of what they do.
That's so sad that obligatory marriages already exists in India, but I believe in the young generation!
To those saying divorces are taboo in india, no it's not.
India has less divorce rate mainly because most of has 0 partners before marriage and there are researches which prove people with more partners before marriage and less emotionally attached to each other and divorce more.
Agreed, I mean yeah I've heard some cases where people shame others for divorce but imo if you're divorcing anyone just because you found someone more interesting/useful or the lame excuse of "I'm not happy" then you should be looked down upon
Like you agreed to that particular lifestyle (presuming there was no lie to build relationship) and spent years of hard work into that marriage, gave your word, commitment, loyalty and everything else but at end you want to say your word don't hold a single value?
People here in this country are trying to normalise divorce in such a rate that is alarmingly dangerous in order to look "progressive", "modern" that they've forgotten about what marriage actually meant
Won't be surprised if we get to see a wave of single mothers and $uc!dal men suffering from losses due to divorce
It's better to remove no fault divorce and only allow certain activities such as adultery / DV / Transferable high risk diseases to be a valid ground especial once you have kids
It must be bizzare for the west that all the family members in Asian countries like India are involved in choosing the life partner. It's not so bizarre when you consider that this method ensures that there are less conflicts in a family. Also take into account that the institution of family is very strong in India.
Indeed family values are strong in India with 300 million malnutritioned children, great role model 💀

In india kids actually know who their parents are and what are their genders. They are not confused about their gender ,their parents gender and majority of them also don't have daddy and mommy issues unlike some other places. They also go to schools and other public places without thinking that someone might randomly shoot them.
Let me explain. In India it's very easy for a women to do love marriage irrespective of the way she looks ( I am not into bodyshaming so please don't take it personally) because of the skewed sex ratio 1 girl for 4 guys. A good looking successful girl can get any guy of her choice apart from which she can have multiple flings while being married same for an average looking girl on the other hand it's very tough for a guy to find a loyal gf because of which they mostly focus on their career unless the guy is very attractive (tall, fair and handsome) who later gets a good looking gf and they end up doing lust marriage (love). Most Indian guys are not generally good looking so they have to end up with an arrange marriage to a girl of the same caste. For men in India their family background, caste, religion, economic status and skin color matters alot. Divorce is not common in India because of the predominantly judgemental society we live in. Indians in general like intruding into someone else's private life just for sake of having some spicy conversations with their friends. At the end of the day it's all stupid societal perception some people find love while being in a arranged marriage some marry for personal reasons like ( keeping parents happy) and for some it's all about lust. Solitude is not embraced in India.
Update yourself, india now have 950 woman per 1000 man.

And it's very easy to get sl*t shammed too. It's not all easy. It takes a whole life to overcome every prejudices of society but it take one second for society to demolished it by saying we did it by selling ourselves. Do you know why women commit less sui*cide ? Cause even after death people assume she is pregnant with illegitimate child so she commited it and shamed her whole family for this.
