hora_fugit @vandana7 Though I do want to comment that marriage is not "what happens in the bedroom" What are the advantages of marriage when live-in relationships are not so scarce?

hora_fugit @DaddyEvil It's more difficult to acquire a lighter skin, but there are ways for that too. As an Indian I can reach both shades naturally... we get darker (not red) and we get fairer (skin, not makeup). It's lovely as long as it's not an obsession.
