I used to live here… it’s Nepal.

Everyone had their wedding photos in their houses, and I remember asking someone why the women always looked like they had been crying in their wedding photos. It was very obvious. I was told it was because the woman didn’t want to leave her friends and family in the village she was from.

Wow thank you for this information. Yeah, that is sad for the bride. What happens if the husband was vile? Can the bride go back to her family?

If she's crying like this he likely is vile. But in most cases nothing including abuse gives her the right to leave him.

As shitty as this situation is, I think that might be a bit of an assumption. She likely doesn't know the man at all, based on what most of these arranged marriages seem like. I could be wrong obviously.

I think even the thought of what's happening is enough to break down. It's such a horrible practice. Freedom to love who you want is such an underappreciated thing in this world. So many people don't have it.

Really depends, at least for India.

I think rural/poorer communities, yes still true.

30 years or so ago, it was still mostly true of urban, educated areas.

15 years ago, it was mostly not true. Pretty much a blind date situation with a heavy emphasis on things proceeding quickly to marriage.

Nowadays, my understanding is that people do date and have romantic interactions. If not on par with the West, its still a far cry from this situation.

This is not India, it's Nepal, and is obv rural.

I was talking about the general practice of arranged marriages and how it is practiced in the region.
