I've noticed that the love marriage issue often depends on who the person happens to be. If you bring home a person who you're parents find suitable or at least tolerable, it doesn't seem to be as much of an issue. However, if they disapprove of your choice of person, that's when it becomes an issue and they use the love marriage argument against you.
Majority in our culture is quite reluctant however it does not mean people are not doing love marriages.... I think, girls do face problem from in-laws.
compatibility of families have almost same weightage as compatibility between couple in our culture. So problems arise, when there are compatibility issues between family members.

After hearing about some of the gentleman’s antics from my parents, I don’t know whether to laugh or be appalled.
