More about the India wedding

What further complicates their lives is the incident of childbirth. Being in a physical relationship after marriage is not a matter of love but compulsion in arranged marriages, then it’s a habit and you live with it. And once there is a child, your life stars to revolve around him/her. This is another reason why many Indian marriages have survived because both parents feel a bond for their child but in reality do not have much of a relationship amongst them. In fact many arranged marriages have even been termed as a ‘license to rape’ because most women are not given a choice, they just follow the only path they know. What’s really saddening is the fact that in many societies girls are never given the same opportunity as their male siblings. And as such their worlds are very small. They grow up believing that their only purpose n life is to marry, bear children and have a family of their own. And this is what most of them readily do in the name of arranged marriages.
