If it’s our culture then how shall we explain the universal phenomenon of women looking to get married since they are 8?

I really didnt know about such a phenomenon. Elaborate please.

White girls, black girls, yellow, orange - every girl plans her wedding since childhood.

hmm i dont know about black, yellow and orange girls, but can relate to white girls, and I dont think getting married is the sole thing they aspire for at all. Career, stability, sense of purpose, achievements all come into play.

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.

Maybe because they dont have parents and relatives urging them to get married as soon as they turn 20. So if its anything, its a cultural phenomenon. Its not just true for girls, it goes for men too. For me personally, no one at work or any of my non desi acquintances have ever wondered when Im getting hitched, but its totally the other way around when it comes to dealing with my own kind

It’s not cultural, it’s universally acknowledged, Jane Austen said it so herself!

I think it is!

p.s. Spockie you came to take AE’s side, huh?

No I kept my eyes closed while reading her posts .
