Long distance Relationship - Why Not Date an Indian? - Part 1

The art of living is the culture there. India has multiple religions and religious beliefs. Most of the families live here as a joint family. There is a hierarchy that is strictly followed in all societies. Family values are very important. India is a patriarchal society where parents or the elders in the house decide who their child should marry. This aspect is drilled into the brain right from childhood that parents will choose their life partner as they are the best judge of what is best for the child. Yes, an adult in India remains a child and the parents keeps monitoring the daughter’s life till she gets married (after which her husband does) and the son’s life till they are alive. Marriages are thought to be for a life time and divorce is looked down upon. It is a social stigma which gets a bad name for the family and ill-repute to the girl who is always blamed for a broken marriage as she is the one who has the courage to walk out of the relationship.

Arranged marriage is a tradition in India though love marriages have become quite common in metros cities. There seems to be a slight change in attitude in bigger cities but not in the smaller cities as yet. A long distance relationship just does not fit into the psyche of the Indians. You fall in love with the one you marry. There is love after marriage and not love before marriage. This is one of the major psychological barriers which make it difficult to develop a long distance relationship with an Indian.
