hai
all...indian marriages are a real fun!!!...let us travel through it now
for few minutes...ok?...(aravanan sir, tell me if I am wrong or telling
incorrect things, ok?)
1. parents decide the marriage of the children...what ever their age is, even if they are in their mid thirties!
2. they feel it is their responsibility and they want to (some how) finish this responsibility fast (before they retire from job...before they die...)
3. they don't ask or think or assess if their child(?) is ready for marriage mentally.
4. the biggest fun (shame?) is they advertise that their girl has achieved puberty (not boys!), she is ready to marry and produce children, invite all relatives and friends to come and see her beauty and assets, see the wealth they have and think about marrying her to their sons or tell others that there is a girl waiting! (what a bloody degradation of a gender!!!)
5. they don't ask their daughter what type of a husband (they don't think she needs a life mate and soul mate) she wants. They think she wants just a 'man' to satisfy her needs and wants at body level...they don't consider that she has a 'mind' too!...surprisingly the mothers also agree with this culture!!!
6. Indian mothers and wives (husbands and fathers too) are the best in the world in carrying out their 'responsibilities' as wife, father and mother.
7. Marriage is for a girl and a boy to live together. These stake holders will be left out in the process and they will have to only carry out certain rituals (as directed by the swamiji) like tying knot, playing with pots, watching the star and saying they have seen it without sighting it....many such things...great fun! (you have to spend in lakhs to have this fun!)
8. Every one at home has his or her agenda from the oldie to the young in getting the marriage going or match making...go to many astrologers and spend in thousands to get the word 'yes, match is there, go ahead!' if they like the family and wealth. To satisfy these people there is something known as 'remedy rituals' to cover up the mismatches.
9. The girl's parents check of the parents of the boy are ok with them (as if they are going to marry each other)...wealth match...status match...assume that every couple will have issues and life is like that!
10. the old, knee aching and diabetic, hypertension, cardiac parents crib saying 'wofff! I have to travel so much to so many places for more than month in distributing the invitations!'. They feel hell. (inspite of availability of internet...they will use mobile for everything other than this...if not invited in person then the relationship breaks!!). They get aged by 5 years in this process. I strongly feel that they must use bullock cart too! (laugh)
11. the invitee also cribs 'oh shit! he has invited me! I have to go all the way for the marriage!'...and he goes saying 'what others will feel if I don't go...who will come for my daughter's marriage!' (physical presence only matters here...not from heart, love and happiness saying 'whav! that cute girl is getting married. I have to be there to bless her!' feeling is not there)
