Only in India Marry problem is increasing day by day or in all over the World share your thought friend about it. Because in India girls are more educated than boys in some communities like Maheshwari. So the girls parents are not ready to marry less educated boy even his income is more like 30000 per month. But they not care of this money they wants prefer only education. I think this is they should also prefer businessmen if he is good looking, good by nature, his family background is also good then they should ready for marry of their girls with this type of boy. Because I have seen most of the cases educated person is also not get job and they depend on their family members but businessmen can earn lot of money and get popularity also in the market. So friend I wants to your views about only the education is must for marry or stand their own business is also consider the girls parents.

Now in our country,both boys and girls are well educated, 'cause law only admit that one family has only one child in city, so girl or boy are same in parent's heart. when marry, boy buys a house(here house is the biggest consumption) and decorates it, girl buys furniture, and if her family is rich, her parents may buy a car for their marriage gift. it seems beautiful, but girls always dream marry to a prince charming with much money, they can spend money as their wish, so boys struggle a lot to make money.

It is not just in India that there are problems w/marriage. I don't think marriages last like they use to, too easy to get out of them here.

Well, i think one's thought and viewpoints will change as he or she get more eduction, has improvement in social status. Sometimes it is a sign of advance of the whole society. Take my country for example. In the old time, there are fewer couples who divorce with each other. And women were asked to obey their husbands, so they didn't think they were unfair or oppose. They just take it as their fate. I don't think this kind of peace in marriage is good. While, in recent decades, so many things changes. People become less serious about their marriages. There are more and more divorces. And some divorced just only few months, sometimes only some days after their marriage. So many kids live with a single parent. Which is harm to their mental and physical development. Is it good for the society? No, well, i think marriage is an important thing in our life, we can't be more serious on this issue.

See my friend..i'm not Indian but i agree with you. i care so much for the education ..in my opinion man and woman in marriage have to be near in their way of think,concepts of life,education and family background. Big difference between them makes big gap in their communication.And we can't forget the point of money ,no need to be that much rich but at least normal.

Ohhh friend I am telling only education is not important if a person who is not educated but he earning more money from his business or from ancestral business then girl should not have problem for marriage. If every girl wants to educated person then what can do businessmen.

Ohhhh you have good knowledge about India and other community yes this is true but in rare cases but if the boys are more educated then they demanded the money generally in maharashtrian and the girls parents are also ready because they already save for their daughter.

Hmmmm i can understand what you are saying because i have been watching my own parents and all my cousins parents 'searching' for the right person in all places they can! in temples, newspapers, websites etc etc LOL and i also know the different 'must haves' that they look out for and education is the top....but some of cousins had love marriages recently and i feel they are the only happy couple they did go against all customs and married for love but the ones who married after 'matching' every criteria are kind of happy too but no spark! the love marriage ones are so happy its fun being around them :) they spread love and warmth....the arranged marriage ones are more the 'responsible' types who always want to give you advise :)

Yes this is true love marriages recently are increasing day by day and i also feel they are the only happy couple they did go against all customs and married for love but friend I am not agree with you arranged marriage is responsible types arrange marriage couple is also live happily with love. But the parents should prefer only educated men no businessmen this is not good because businessmen is also a good person.

O yes i agree with you businessmen are good too but i know parents look for 'stable' income you know that's why they think businessmen will be risky but i personally prefer businessmen because it means they are ready to take risks in life :) and i am sorry if made it seem like the arranged marriage couples were not happy they are happy too :)

Dear friend, As an Indian may be Bharathian I feel my self ashamed whenever I come to know these unhealthy things. The mail reasons for family collusions I feel are given below A law in India does not suit culture here Education has become business and students are just materials Family values are not shared much in nuclear families Family members are mostly busy and tried Media and other channels that projects life far away from reality Courts are just Multi National Companies no justice for those who no money to invest Parents attitude at times to their children Values in life like tolerance, patience, love, affection, sharing, helping etc are vanishing Selfishness Practical life and theoretical life (life before and after love) No proper channels nor mediators for solving these family problems I feel India which use a thrown away colonial law and rule is moving to a western culture, this would be only way for the coming generation to go ahead.

Who wants to be with a dummy? Lol just kidding. Education is important but you don't have to have a degree or go to school to be educated. If you can't afford to go to school and get degree you can still educate yourself. You can go to the library and read books on any topic. Common sense goes a long way. There are some people with degrees but they are still dumb as a box of rocks. Having a degree means something but it isn't everything.

hi this is a sticky problem also forget good looking as thats not a good criterion on choosing a good mate. is he or she intelligent, and yes is he or she educated as it is pure hell for an educated woman to meet and marry a man who in uneducated and usually uncouth too. I think parents in India want the same thing as parents anywhere else, happiness and a good marriage for their daughters.I think good looks should not be in this mix at all, as not all good men are handsome but most good men are handsome inside where it counts.business men are seldom uneducated surekharathi, they would not be able to stay in business if they were not educated and intelligent.Not all educated men have problems getting jobs as uneducated ones do too. What parents should want for their daughters are kind, compassionate, intelligent men who will treat their wives with utmost respect. i am not Indian but american and parents do not choose our mates here but parents here like parents in yo ur county want the best for their daughters and education really does help to get anywhere in life.

Friend not education is help anywhere in life but experience and boldness is must to get the help. I am not agree with this sentence friend "They would not be able to stay in business if they were not educated and intelligent." because in our community ancestral business are there and even the boy is 10th class passed he can handle his ancestral business. My dever is only 12th class passed but they earn 30000 rs. per month and all Company's boss always call him as a "sethji kaise ho"?

hello friend, In general,of course parents always wanted their kids to have a good life. So,when it comes to marriage,they always wanted the best for their kids. But then again,here in our country...it's the concern's choice. Thu some youngsters has this "practical mind" yes,it is called "be practical". When they say "practical marriage or be practical" it means,someone marry for convenience,for money reasons and not LOVE. And,it's not common here in our country...but now,some people do that...get married and be practical. They marry rich people no matter if he/she is educated as long as the person is rich and have money. But still...mosts of marriages here are all about Love...not money or education or business. Education,money or business are just optional... Parents can give advice,suggest...and even forced their kids to marry rich/business man...but if their kids won't agree...parents can't do anything. Have a good day always

Ohhhhh friend you are saying true if kids are not ready then parents can't do anything but here is opposite if parents are not ready then daughter can't do anything. Because most of the girls run away with other cast person because their parents is not care that their daughter age increasing day by day so the daughter wants to run away. Friend now the marriage is not like previous marriage here no love only money and educations parents directly tell the boys family no we are seeing only educated person. Love is only in love marriage no in arrange marriage.

Most of the parents view is that their daughter should live happily and for that they will do whatever they can do. This is the sum total of all parental thoughts. Mean time, they will consider few things as well like, star (kindali), family, education, wealth, health etc. Some would give equal preference to the above all and then only go for the fixing of the marriage. In my office also there are 2 girls with the sir name of Maheshwari and both got married to higher educated people (CAs and they are in the senior manager posts and drawing approx. 2.5 lakhs in a month). These girls are known to me and when I gone for their wedding also, they found good in rich and cultured. However, we know that the population in India and the life here also. Just only very minority people are able to go for a better and self determined marriage and the rest all are destined with their fate and luck. So, we cannot always link the way you said, and in these days, marriages are nightmare to the parents. All are unwanted expenses. In the next week my niece's wedding is there and they are doing the preparation for the last one year. I know how much pain and troubles each parents having arrange for a better alliance for the marriage and the after effects of the same. Yesterday, we all (my daughter and wife) went out for a small shopping and while we were talking she was telling 'mera shadi register marriage karke de do' (do my marriage only as a registered marriage and I don't want to waste the money. Even the child of 12 years thinking about the wastage of money on weddings and such occasions. All those who have money, they will spend and those who have no money also try to do the way how others do and live debt life for the rest of life. Thank-s

I like this sentence friend All those who have money, they will spend and those who have no money also try to do the way how others do and live debt life for the rest of life. Nice response friend I also hate this wastage of money and only they all are doing only for reputation or showing. But in Maheshwari Community mostly the businessmen are there so most of the family are rich family but I dont know why they spend lot of money on marriage they can paid that money on helpless person or some poor people but they not ready for that.
