Re: communication and understanding
yes there is division... but here (im assuming ur talking about arranged marriage), the parents ought to check out each others families and see can they really inter-mingle without making the other feel awkward?
If the parents are the ones arranging the rishta, then they ought to play the part well.
If its not arranged... then hey, the two should talk about the differences.
You will hardly find a relationship where there are no differnce in opinion. So, this would be another to work on
