Every Indian girl or boy is expected to let this important decision to parents. We Indians believe that it is just our parents who know what we want and have the capability to find one among the millions for us. 'Arranged marriages ' as we call it are the harsh reality of Indian society where parents decide whom their child should love. Are they the right person to decide ? Do your parents know you completely to find you a perfect partner with whom you are compatible?

Well, I have friends and relatives whose parents don't even know what they are doing in a different city. Drinking, smoking and relationships are kept a secret from parents. Parents usually think that their child is the best among the rest, but it is usually all fake. Then, how can a parent who doesn't know about their child's habits find a perfect bride / groom for their child ?
Moreover, parents who are the victims of an arranged marriage and have been battling it out in the ring every day preach arranged marriages. My neighbors can't spend a day without arguing or fighting and still they say that arranged marriages are best because they are in one. They are never on the same page, but still they believe they are compatible.
Present generation is learning to live a better life by finding their compatible partners themselves. Love marriages are on a rise and the idea of arranged marriages is fading.
