    I just realized that you said your dad went to medschool with the girl's mother

    It's like he's following some sort of Indian set of rules or something.

    yea at least she gets a greencard out of me. Hopefully she'll be like handicapped so I can get the tag for my car.

    I think its also worth mentioning that my dad met her mom in medschool, and that she's in medschool now.

    Can we say "Texas$"???

    Dude, I would totally marry you for a green card.

    I'm 5' 11', have brown hair, brown eyes, a sexy name, and a sexy accent.


    Also I'm a dude.

    Serious response: Is cohabitation before marriage frowned upon? Ask if you can meet her first. If you think it could work, stay together a while and see if she is impossible to live with. I am culturally inept.

    I can meet her before the marriage, but I don't forsee that happening. She's finishing medschool (meaning she has no time off) and I don't have a month to take off to go visit. Living together is not an option, as our parents would more or less cut our heads off if we did. Maybe I'll facebook her or something

    Its fun to be an injun

    Just keep saying things like "what are you saying? what? I can't understand you" and be really racist. She'll eventually get bored.

    Seriously, you're probably better off just flat out refusing. Letting someone else pick your wife is just asking for misery, and if you can't even refuse to allow them to arrange your marriage for fear of shaming them, I doubt divorce is going to be looked upon real well. Others have said this, but it bears repeating.

    I'm not certain but I believe divorces are relatively fine.

    The way I look it is that I know tons of people who met their spouses on their wedding day, and while it does take some adjustment, they are happy people. Maybe I could have one of those quirky new arranged marriages that warrants a sitcom...or horror movie

    Well, theres 2 possibilities here.

    1: Shes a really hot awesome Doctor chick who'd be awesome

    2: Shes not


    Maybe atleast meet her? Like others said, some dude that you'll never meet thinking it shameful of you not marrying a person you've never met is bad incentive for marriage.

    If its any consellation, if you get into a crappy arrange marriage, there will be more people ashamed of you than there would be people who would be ashamed if you did not do it.


    Im thinking 2 of those sentences I wrote are going to be very hard to comprehend. And I dont even care.

    You should honour your family's wishes.

    Should you shame them, you will never dine with your ancestors at longtable in the great hall in the after life.

    Unless you are really cool. Then like, you'll be at another table and they might drop by and say hi once in a while.

    Makes sense. And if what Raneados said about divorce being all right is true, then it's the path of least resistance anyway.
