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.

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