Re: "I Married a Total Stranger"...Article on arranged marraiges:)
There is no such thing as perfect mate in reality. Everyone has their goods and bads. Marriage no matter love or arranged is only successful when both the partners are willing and able to bend themselves and make compromise. Anyway, I agree with you that marrying a person you have met only couple times is pretty scary thing. I would also prefer marrying a person I somewhat know and am comfortable with.
Alyish: It depends on your prefrences. Anyway, I am not a big supporter of guys going back home to find pious wives (as if all the desi girls overseas are sluts) but then I guess those guys are not meant for us, we are better off without them.
