      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.

      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.

      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

      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.

    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.

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.

    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

  • @blackteeth5236
    @blackteeth5236 Год назад +41

    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.

      @@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.

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.

    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.

    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 .

      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.

      Not true . I have seen lot of marathis who are unmarried. Also what I have heard is that most marathis don't prefer non marathis for marriage since they don't like non marathis. Some of them are quite egoistic about being marathis especially girls which seems quite annoying to a non marathi person.

    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.

    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!!! Actually there was 8 types of marriage in ancient society of which only one was illegal - the one without the consent of the girl. Remaining 7 are acceptable as per traditions.

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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    Well in my own opinion i prefer love marriage because its much to know the person's personality before marrying just like that and marriage must not supposed to be forced because marriage means to show love and affection

    I always hate Asian boss's Indian interviews because people intentionally speak in English to sound more intellectual, yet they lack a proper grasp of things that they are talking about. So it's always the interviews from India don't sound that articulate compared to that of other interviews from other Asian countries.
    Maybe next time ask them to speak in their (native) language(s) and I'm pretty sure Asian Boss have the translatators which would put translations.

    You can give people the option who can't speak good english in these videos to speak in hindi and provide subtitles. Make the interviewers ask the people if they are comfortable in english, or would like to switch...

    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.

      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.

    If we apply a little common sense, we can say that sustainability of marriage is independent from mode of marriage. You can't project your personal experience to form facts regarding social institutions.
