We point out that in the west where love marriages are the norm the
divorce rate is 50%. We don't point out that 40 years ago even in
the west when the economic situation was as bad as it exists in India
the divorce rate was very low. We take pride in the "official" Indian
divorce rate of only 8%
We attribute this to the fact that in India 90% of the marriages
(including mine) are arranged marriages and that is why it is so low.
We even say that it is better arrangement than love
marriages. Recently I was in India. I found the real truth behind
this false statistic 1. The number of never married women (not by
choice) is fairly high. 2. In many unhappy marriages they just stay
in the house without living as husband and wife. 3. A number of the
girls are simply sent to their parents' homes. Yet they are officially
not divorced... 4.In small towns and villages (where the vast majoriy of
the people live) the marriages are unofficially dissolved without
calling it a divorce.

  • painfully awkward

  • This is brilliant. I really liked it. I just wonder why they speak English when they're from the same country and obviously have a strong accent. 

  • I still dont know which one is better (?)

  • Wow! This was great guys!

  • I liked the message of this vid, except when the guy said, 'I'll take fights over loneliness'. For me, nothing is more precious than peace of mind, and peace of mind is very difficult if you fight with the person you are closest to.

  • Now I know!

  • good job

    i saw my self on the guy and when he began to talk to her i said this is a brick wall and i want to get whats in the other side... then i realised she is not that perfect as we knew.

    she was imperfect too... in the end he was wiser...

  • There's no ideal form of marriage - by love or by arrangement. We're all just humans, we are so imperfect as to spoil even a good marriage. But still, marriage is a good thing in its very fundament, whatever some people might say or however we do spoil our relationships.

  • this video is so humble and pure :)

    great job guys
