Aren’t the beautiful pictures misleading at times? In an interview, Robin Khatri, an assistant manager in a jewellery showroom said:

“My family got three photographs of my wife. One in salwar suit, one in western casuals and one in saree. She looked beautiful in all the three. So, my judgement was based only on those snaps provided to me. Rest was seen and considered by my mother.”

#2. A painless process

Oh! You can’t take that pain or that wrath? This is what, Mayank Singh, assistant marketing manager said about his arrange marriage:

“Finding love on my own is not my cup of tea. I am too lazy to get into all this. I know I am getting married to a girl with certain qualities. And that’s enough to get on the horse. My parents have already started liking their would be daughter-in-law. So, the task of making everything and everyone comfortable doesn’t actually lie on me. It’s entirely their headache.”

You mean the license granted? When asked about her experience for finding the right guy, this is what recently engaged Madhumita mentioned:

"See, the parent’s attitude changes as soon as you get engaged. Now I can stay out late, go dating and meet my fiancé as and when I like. My dad was just too strict even if I used to talk to a college friend. I can’t imagine doing this in case I was having an affair. But now he is okay even if I am going out for a movie. That means I can date khullam khulla without being judged or caught”.

#4. Marriage, a lot more than your partner

Hum Saath Saath Hain type? In an interview, housewife, Bhavika Sharma said:

 “I never even thought to shortlist someone on my own. I think marriage is a lot more than just your partner, romance or love. For me, it’s a lot about your family and a foundation that I can never see shaken. Fights, arguments, laughter, festivities, the huge gatherings and emotions; there are so much more to be dealt with in an arranged marriage scenario. And I was just too scared to miss all this”.

There we go! So, that’s the end of the hunt. This is what homemaker Minakshi Pandey had to say about her arranged marriage experience: 

“A wealthy man offers a natural sense of security. Isn’t it? For me and my family, guy’s income was the first priority. Their would be son-in-law was career-oriented and was financially secured. Though, I am myself earning and into a good job but then I feel much more carefree financially marrying this guy. Also with money, he will be more sensitive and understanding towards my needs."

#6. Like an adventure

“Since it’s an arranged one, we are almost strangers to each other. So, there is a lot to be explored and day by day it gets super-exciting. The new chapter in my life leaves me with so much room to discover and talk about this guy. Each day and moment comes as a surprise and its fun. Currently, I am learning about the nitty-gritty of the new relationship."
