arranged marriage

why does someone wish to get fooled by love marriage with average-looking-average-rich girl friend for sake of belief that it will last long and they will die happily? ( phew!!! ) where as arranged marriage still offers better prospect for 90% of Indians. it's vice-versa true for gals also. finding a girl friend and searching for potential life partner are two completely different things. there are lots of smart guys who don't mix these two together. for girl friend, you know better what you need and for life partner, parents know better. if parents readily agree with your choice then it's great. i know one good example...my friend's friend confessed his wish to a gal working with him in same project. she replied she would marry someone who earns 10 lacs per annum. well, his salary is below half of her expectation. what impressed me was clearity of her mind. she knows...her parents will find someone what she expects. our basic social framework offers what you deserve best and it will also make your mom be proud mother of obedient son/daughter.
