Arranged Marriages

edited February 2007 in Social Entropy++
So for Christmas my dad decided to surprise me with a wife. Awesome

He realized I'm graduating in 3 semesters and am going to be working (auditing in minneapolis) full time. His and my mom's mentality is that I should be settled down before working full time in September of 2008. They are going to India in 6 weeks to get this marriage organized and whatnot. Dad went to medschool with the girl's mom so I guess we're like family friends, but I've never met her and probably won't until the wedding.

So SE++ I ask you, how should I kill myself exactly?

    Hey.

    I assume you live in the western world.

    Legally, you can tell him to fornicate himself with the rough object of your chosing.

    Oh oh my. Oh dear me. Now I may be wrong here, but I believe the correct option is to fuck her and chuck her. Or possibly become a mormon and just start grabbing some more.

    Well, at least you don't have to worry about finding a wife, right?

    (In all seriousness, my aunt and uncle have friends that have an arranged marriage and it's working out fine for them)

    Oh, I'm sorry; I just couldn't hold it in.

    Seriously, you might get lucky. There's some good looking Indian women out there. Just pray that she doesn't end up a castrating bitch.

    You are already going to be an auditor. An arranged marriage doesn't look nearly as bad in comparison.

    I actually did think about saying no. Problem is that in indian families, it brings hella shame to the family if I tell this girl's family to go fuck themselves.

    It sounds stupid yea, but me saying no basically makes my family look like total douchebags in my parents' home areas. I told my dad I didn't want to do it and he was like "Dude if you complain, it's just going to be worse. Trust me on this one." Turns out he bitched about my mom when they first met/got married on the same day and marriage sucked for the first few months. It got better and they are together still (26 years).

    Oh, and I'm gonna be 22 in june, meaning I'll graduate college in May of 08, turn 23, then get married, then start working.

    Ok, serious response here. Only you can determine what's right for you in the context of this situation. Sounds like you're very leary of entering into an arranged marriage so I assume you were raised in the U.S. As crazy as an arranged marriage sounds, within the right cultural context it works for them.
    However you sound like you don't want to go through with this but on the other hand do you really want to just tell your parents to go fuck themselves? You should try to communicate to your parents that although you respect the culture they grew up in, that's not who you are and you refuse to enter into an arranged marriage. Perhaps you can wrangle out a compromise that everyone will be happier with or maybe you don't want them involved at all in choosing a wife and want to date a while.
    Although it will be frustrating and difficult, I believe in the long run you'll feel better about the whole situation and have more respect from your parents if you find a way to take a stand for what you want without uneccesarily insulting your parent's feelings.

    Man, bang her, and turn her into a child factory, then take your children and put them to work. You could have a sweatshop running, be rich! Think about the good side!

    Family honour is bullshit, does it affect you if some dude over in india is all like, WHAT A DISRESPECTFUL SON. Live life for yourself.

    "We'll force it to work" isnt even good logic for the basis of a marriage
