Jimmy, as an Indian woman let me give you my perspective. I have been fortunate enough to be born in a liberal household - every woman in our family has very successful careers and there is no barriers on love/arranged marriages. My parents will support what I choose. However, there is a high chance I will go through arranged marriage process. This is not because I believe arranged marriages last longer (many of my cousins have gone through love marriages and their married life is great) or because of any societal expectations of a woman (as a woman who gives a lot of importance to my career, it is impossible for me to become a perfect traditional Indian wife - I look for a man who is willing to share domestic and child care responsibilities because I will be bringing a high salary and my own assets to the table as well). My reason is simply because I had no time to date. School/ college/ university life went by in a blur because I was too busy chasing my ambitious career goals. By the time I was able to take a pause, I was already in my mid-twenties and with no experience of dating etc. It's not just me, many Indians have the same exact experiences. Unfortunately, high population means there is extreme competition in every job in the country and it's difficult to build a good career and rise high in it. I also found myself to grow very complacent - esp with regards to dating. I was so busy in the previous couple of years, that I have lost the energy required to date/ meet new men and form new relationships. Moreover, I trust my parents and they trust and respect me. I am very open to the idea of turning towards my parents and giving them the responsibility of finding me a marriage partner. Moreover, I have every right of rejecting as many men as I want. Considering these factors, arranged marriage seems like the most hassle free way of getting married in the next few years.
At least they still try to make the marriage work. While in the west, feminism has made women insufferable. And many men are simply not choosing to get married because of unfair child support laws
feminism is about women privileges not equality, no girl is gonn approach u or pay for date despite u believing in feminism, and all ur feminist women usually want men who earn more, there goes ur farce feminism
Dear Jimmy, most central Indians and Southern Indians prefer arranged marriage. While most Northeasterners prefer love marriages. Often as youths we use to debate which is better, and nobody would win. In my family, Northeasterners, upto my grandparents period there was mostly arranged marriages but now all are waiting for the children to say "I want to get married to this!"... Which is also sad because younger generation want to earn and make their mark in society first before finding love... In my society a lot of people over 35 still unmarried.
Hi Jimmy, this is the first time I watch your channel, your English is simple, easy to let people know your meaning. I can learn English from you and know more about different countries in the world through the interesting videos. Thank you so much! I am Stanley from Hong Kong.
For your kind information Married women in India have more rights than men in India that's why now unlike other countries here in India groups are formed to protect men . Ofcourse everybody is not wrong but I am telling you, go and see how much law is impartial for married men in India .
Exactly... It's much more than you think...I don't know what other countries media show about India very much... but it's not all that true about the negativity...
@@chanchanchu4630 And, that happens when you see everything with a rose- tinted glass. The main language used for education is English. So, people who have studied in school would know some English. It is not something that would give you opportunities. Understanding and speaking English is a necessity for most of the well paying jobs.
Most of the arranged marriages are now done with the consensus of the girl as well as the boy. Parents and relatives just provide them with good options.
The introduction is a good understanding of Indian Caste system and Marriage system between 2 families. China Qin dynasty 221BC - Shi Huang Di 秦始皇 already scrapped the lord-slavery caste system in Chinese civilization. CCP culture civilization 1966- 1976 was another round of change in Chinese civilization.
The red t-shirt girl is a very good example of why people in india think having a relationship before marriage is just 'time - pass' and nothing serious will come out of it , she has already presumed she would do an arranged marriage but still commiting herself to a person and basically CHEATING them , its not that relationships are bad but the real bad thing is that people already presume they are going to have an arranged marriage afterall so they never commit seriously , its just a materialistic relationship , hence it fails. The type of love marriages where like 18 year olds elope together , these should be opposed, not the mature ones , like the people in their late 20s.
Survey: In the United States, while the divorce rate hovers around 40 or 50 percent, the divorce rate for arranged marriages is 4 percent. In India, where some estimate that 90 percent of marriages are arranged, the divorce rate is around 5 percent. I can understand the reason why. I am from southeast asia most my family members practice this since long time ago. I am into it. when you marry someone you also marry his/her family. Your eyes can fool you but if you have more persons to see him/her for you, you cannot be easily blinded by a beauty
