If it’s our culture then how shall we explain the universal phenomenon of women looking to get married since they are 8? White girls, black girls, yellow, orange - every girl plans her wedding since childhood.
When they grow up, desis look to get married but other women look for long-lasting relationships, common-law partners, and then may be marriage if they are religious or whatever.
It’s not cultural, it’s universally acknowledged, Jane Austen said it so herself!
p.s. Spockie you came to take AE’s side, huh?
