text: I'm sure my parents think they have some better ideas of people for me! :)\n\nThose countries where majority of marriages are by choice of the couple have the most broken relationships and lonely people wandering around.\n\nJust thought I'd bring up the other side, stir things up a bit!\n\n\n\nFrom the film "Bride & Prejudice":\n\nDarcy: The groom looks pretty happy. Did his parents force him into it?\n  \nLalita: No, he asked his parents to find him a bride, actually. He was busy running his company. He just wanted it to be simple.\n\nDarcy: I see, and so he came here.\n\nLalita: Is that what you think, too, that India is the place to go for a simple woman?\n\nDarcy: No, that's not what I meant.\n                   \nLalita: Americans think they've got the answers for everything, including marriage.\nPretty arrogant, considering they've got\nthe highest divorce rate in the world!
