I am interested to know from mylottians about how are marriages arranged in your place? In my place (a corner of India), most of the marriages (90%) are happening like this. For that a correct example is my marriage. So, I will tell about my marriage. When I was around 27-28, my parents and elder sister started to tell me about marriage. When I gave the permission, my parents arranged a broker to get some suitable alliance for me. Since I was staying around 600 KM away from home, my parents used to go for seeing the girls first, which are arranged by abovesaid broker(s). When my parents were satisfied, I go to my native place and saw these girls. I had seen around 10-12 girls like that. Then at last I found my better half, who had been first seen my parents and then me. I liked her and informed the matter to girl's house at the time of first visit to her house. Then from girl's house some 5-6 people came to see my house and sorroundings. When they also liked the marriage has been fixed. The fun is, the girl, who has to live her full life in boy's house never seen boy's house upto marriage. After marriage only she sees her husband's house. This is how marriages are arranged in our place. Now-a-days little change is there like, instead of brokers there are marriage bureaus and marriage portals. In 5% cases love marriages are happening. Another 5 % will be arranged by friends and relatives.
