Re: advice
Hmm, I don't watch too many movies, preferring to read fanfiction and playing games so it isn't surprising that I'd miss such a thing. I could be wrong but in the UK, singlehood is accepted and people are generally laid back regarding it. I'm sure that there are people even here who aren't so accepting but so far, I haven't come across them. There is a horrible audio drama regarding both singlehood and enforced arranged marriages both on audible and on the Ibooks store called a suitable boy. I listened to it twice and wish never to listen to it again! A suitable boy was as far as I can remember when it was first on radio 4, written and directed by Indians and all the actors and actresses were Indians to. The portrayal of the typical enforced arranged marriage is unfortunately very accurate. The only reason why I say unfortunately is because I wish I could say that the portrayal was exaggerated but unfortunately I cannot. I even consulted with my Indian friends and they told me that such a portrayal is absolutely true. Now to be fair, the friends who I consulted were in voluntary arranged marriages and said marriages worked very well as they were truly in love with one another. Not only that but they were fortunate enough to not be pressured in any way to marry; their respective families told them to take their time and to be sure before making that decision to become couples. I know that I've leaned toward bashing arranged marriages but only those that are enforced. Then again, I'm fortunate to be challenged by my diosa, in particular when she tells me that I need to be more broad minded and to acknowledge that one cannot always judge a book by its cover. Not everything is as it seems.
