The perception of most Americans is that marriage should be based on love. The statistics, however, may shock you. Over 50% of US marriages, based on the supposedly superior method of love, end in divorce, with marriage lasting an average of just over 7 years. Only 1% of arranged marriages end in divorce.

Looking at arranged marriage from the inside, we get quite a different perspective of them. How does Sita view her impending marriage, and her parents’ efforts to arrange it? What reasons does she give for her attitude? How is an arranged marriage any different than, say, internet dating?

Marriage is a religious ceremony that has long served society as a means to keep our carnal desires in check. Furthermore, the influence of both religion and family promotes the concept as a traditional facet of our lives. Although the tradition and concept have been modified in recent times, the idea will continue far into the future. However, there has been constant resistance to altering the concept to enable parts of society to participate.
