Long distance Relationship - Why Not to Date an Indian? - Part 2
The closely knit social system creates tremendous pressure on the family members to adhere to the norms of the society and family. The house, business and property are all shared by the family members and passed on the son who is the heir. Status and respect in society is bigger than the individual person in India. Respect and face cannot be lost by going against the social norm. The girl is brought up in a manner where she is taught that the husband that the elders find for her is the right match and she has to live with him till her death no matter what. The girl cannot even think of having a relationship with any other man. Same applies to the guys, he cannot think of a relationship without the consent of the elders in the family as he may be thrown out of the family without a penny in his name.
The Indian society believes that the relationship between the man and the woman is very sacred. Indulging in a relationship with any other person than the spouse is punishable in the court of God. Being God fearing populous, most of them are hesitant to even talk to the opposite sex.
The court of law in India supports the woman against whom any sort of crime that is committed against her. One single complaint to the police made by the woman results in an arrest of the guy. Yes he can arrange for his bail and legal proceeding can begin. The judicial system delivers the judgment in years so you never know how much time and money you will have to spend to acquit yourself of a crime of asking a woman out. Simply asking a girl for a date or weekend together can result in her taking offence and filing a complaint for sexually harassment. Even if you have just asked her out, she refuses and you leave gives her the right to file a police complaint against you. The police here will immediately round you up and begin trial proceedings.
The Indian society is changing but not so rapidly. The culture and values are so strongly imbibed in the brains that it will take a lot many generations for this to change. Yes there are a few who have changed their thinking and are open to a long distance relationship which makes one wonder whether they do understand the consequences or are just doing it because other westerners are doing it. It is still not the right time to begin a long distance relationship with an Indian, but hopefully it will get there.
