Going to India to review arranged marriage choices - ama
So my parents have got on me about settling down. They've arranged a trip to India for me where I'm basically going to 'review' my choices.
I actually have no intention of marrying any one of these girls. But I'm considering going along with it just because some of them are really pretty.

They are nice girls but how do you feel about allowing an immigrant who will most likely not contribute to the economy into the country?
How is the whole situation making you feel?

Hmm this isn't really a concern lol
The two girls I've been told of are both well educated

I know I am an indian myself, I merely asked because in traditional indian families, especially those that practice arranged marriages, the girl tends not to work but assume the roll of homemaker.

Fair play mate, some of them are stunning but make sure you don't get screwed, possibly get a prenup XD

Hmm I have mixed feelings
They're both from well to do families from around Delhi - friends of my family. If I had encountered either girl more 'naturally' in this country id have been totally cool with them.
But this way I feel like everything is so contrived and suffocating. Also I feel like it proves that I cannot get in a long term relationship myself. I'm sure I can given enough time.

Kinda messed up, don't bring these stupid and corrupt traditions to the UK. Get yourself a westernized Indian wife, they're not that hard to find. That'll please your parents 
How pretty is the pretty one /10?

I'd say around 8. Tbh they're pretty westernised already. One has been living in Melbourne for 2 years and has only moved back to India recently.

An 8 you say? I would consider an exception. But what about the funny accents?
I always think it's a little odd choosing a partner based on who your mother thinks would suit you, mothers do tend to have a view of their children which does deviate a little from reality.
My mum would probably hate my ideal partner. As long as you aren't pressured into taking a wife you don't want and the women are allowed to reject you I personally don't have much of an issue with this. It isn't too dissimilar to a singles night at a bar, except there is only one man and your mother decided which women will be present.
Would be a little too awkward for my tastes, but you enjoy yourself man.

if they are already westernised then why don't you go about it in a western way if thats how you want to do it. Go on a date with each of them, see how you get on. Sorted

They're both from well to do families from around Delhi - friends of my family. If I had encountered either girl more 'naturally' in this country id have been totally cool with them.

This would be my biggest issue with an arranged marriage, I feel like I'd be implying I can't find someone myself.

Not Indian, but in my culture, it's a scandal if the girl, especially if she's from 'back home' goes out to work. So backward ffs

I can almost understand
My time will come one day and I'm very afraid
And it's more worse for women

8/10,educated and westernised. I'd be open minded and at least go on dates with them. You could get along really well. Easy, well at least when compared to doing it by yourself.
As long as they are consenting and not being pressured or anything. And its basically an arranged blind date. I see no problem with it.
