Deranged Arranged Marriages

``Mom to dad: We`ll tell people that she is a sorceress and had our son under a spell and forced him to marry her because she wants his money...
Asad: what money?``

Awesome =)


``and the hardcore heavy metal guy wont feel like he`s stuck with a backstreet boys CD``

Oh wow, the heavy metal guy would realise what he`s missing out on ;)

P.S., a word to interact #6 - Relax!

khekhehe
enjoyed a lot, thanx man.
keep it up.

may # 6 ``my uncle married without our families consent (not tellin us that he was) n when i found out abt it, i was so shocked i cudn`t even eat. now wat gud is this kind of marriage goin 2 do except create probs 4 every1.``

Whatever this marriage ends up being, you can rest assured that it would not create any problems for YOU. As for your not being able to eat when you found out that your uncle married, god forbid, without family`s consent - well, you can get back at him by getting married in as arranged a manner as possible so HE cannot eat for months. In fact, make your marriage so arranged that the writing on your car would say ``Just Arranged``, instead of ``Just Married``.

Asad, good job man!

A good way will be to put it back to them. Ask mom, if she was paraded in front of her perspective inlaws, and how she felt when she was being graded for her pakora frying and round rootis making skills, and how many marks did she get for her beauty.

It will be a neat idea for boys to march in front of the girl’s parents as well – naked. So, things are in the open and the girl can see the brain power she is going to be stuck with for the rest of her life, while she makes round round rootis and pakoras.

:). well written, very true. I myself going to get marry with a guy i dont like in next couple of months. but my parents are happy and so is the guy.. so yeah, its very true with our brown parents.

Hahahahah! Sooo funny! especially the talaaq part !

Good work :)

the article was funny,but the way the author persuades the readers to cheat their parents is disgustin.his parents mite b over-protective doesn`t mean all r. n the funniest part : wat makes him so sure that the 1 he`ll bring home will b a perfect lovin wife n not the 1 after his money.

my uncle married without our families consent (not tellin us that he was) n when i found out abt it, i was so shocked i cudn`t even eat. now wat gud is this kind of marriage goin 2 do except create probs 4 every1.

very interesting.................
Asad,
do write more .

ahaha - That was one of the best pieces I read this week. I couldnt have put it better Asad! Very refreshing.

Hahahha..

Well written Asad!
I`ve heard the ``all girls are evil and after money`` all too often!

Haha! That was very funny Asad. I enjoyed it a lot...I know how you must feel...been there, done that. Very accurate too.

I think such arranged marriages don`t belong to Western culture and, a lot of our second gen, living in the West, are rebelling...

Caveat emptor: Not ALL white people are so open-minded though; can you imagine a redneck American from TExas` reaction to his daughter bringing home a negro and saying, `Pa meet Denzel, he`s my husband!` The poor fellow would probably be lynched. In England though what you say is probably true. Most English people now have no problem with their offspring marrying whoever they want, whatever colour...

Desi parents are still stuck in the era of arranged marriages. This issue is the single most cause of tension between desis who`ve grown up in the West and their parents...
