Re: Arranged Marriage

punjab is a state that's partially split. the majority of the state is left over in india (after the india - pak split) and there are areas in pak also known as punjab. now being in pakistan, they do share a lot of the local customs. just as muslims in india celebrate diwali (the largest hindu festival).

Re: Arranged Marriage

Extremely interesting topic here. I know quite a Few couples who have had arranged marriages all very interesting stories to say the least. A few of them also very happy to have their parents do the leg work. I however cannot fathom marrying someone that I have known for ad extremely short period of time and of course as haziel pointed out - the issue with sex.
