I have several acquaintances who are Hindu. It's striking that the one love match has worked out well and the children are a success. The arranged marriage is a disaster, and the kid is jailbait, which is unusual for a Hindu family. Then again, this is just anecdotal.
I think people should "arrange" their own marriages; courting seriously with an eye to marriage, and looking at those important marital issues before getting sexally involved. That is what well-off people always did before the advent of birth control and "free" sex (trust me; every fig leaf has a price tag).
Being married to an Indian, love marriage, I have noticed a few things. Most of the first generation rich go that way by hard work, but the kids are given nearly everything. I do not think they have that same entrepreneurial spirit their parents have.
My wife’s sister is arraigned marriage, she had tried to find a partner on her own and didnt work out. the guy she is married to now, Arraigned, is just the best guy i know, hard working, loving, kind... great father. So i guess it just depends... btw they are Catholics... not that it really matters but her family is VERY religious.
