I was confirming a reservation for the upcoming event in a local restaurant, that a University friend walked in with a girl. We embraced and I inquired was he on a date? (Yes I am quite straight forward 
). On which he took a deep breath and replied;
“Oh I used to date her but we are married now :D”
Me: “Mahsllah! Congrats dude, when did this happen?”
Friend: 3 months ago
His wife interrupted: ‘No! 4 months ago’
Me: ‘You guys sound married too ’
It was nice to meet a young married couple, not all love birds end up getting married in the society I live in. Reason; financial, racial, sectarian etc They don’t let you marry if you love someone, have a good understanding and are willing to live your life together. But they have little or no problem if you want to get married for wrong reasons. Wrong reasons; you will often read in News paper (Matrimonial columns) that Mr. XYZ wants to marry a tall girl with fair skin and beautiful face who can help settle Mr.XYZ in USA/CANDA/DUBAI .
Dowry is another way to sign a business deal among so-called honorable families. The longer the list of items the greater the probability that the girl will be given more respect among her in laws. These are the arranged marriages I am talking about where an unknown girl marries a completely unknown guy. Here the parents arrange the business deal and the ‘bride & groom’ are completely unfamiliar of each other habits, interests and personalities.
Now the religious or traditionalist readers will jump in and protest. But I wont say much, I proved my point.

I had posted this long time back.Might interest you- /http://pr3rna.wordpress.com/2007/04/26/arranged-marriages/
Oh i have read this one before and needless to say you explained the points way better then me.
Getting to one you love is always a struggle. You need to endure if you really want.
But i also think a marriage should not be based on a sad event like the guy or girl’s family cut the relationship with them etc.
My dowry was very fair. The endless love of Shahryar, here and hereafter. 
Hmm actually what’s the point?
Are you against arranged marriages or the post-affairish marriages? Or are you in favor of both or one? 
can’t really get that ~
@Shahrzad
Yes we have to keep our family happy before taking any decision. I wonder how much our family take our interests into condition before taking their harsh dcisions.
As for Sherry (your Shehryaar 
) I so want to know the details wr did you guys met and all. lolz might make a good romantic novel.
@Asma
I am not atgainst either all I want is to make out folks(parents) realize that our generation dont keep cast, sect etc in to consideration when going for rship or marriages.
How many couples do you know who lost their love thanks to stoopid social crap!?
dnt brag yasir our folks’l never understand……….
Actually Ammar our generation considers sect, at least, as much in consideration as were our elders.
Agree or not, things like economical status, ethnic backgrounds DOES matter when you are going in new relationships. When problems occur we go crying out to those same folks generally
oye kon sa uni frnd ???
If and i meant IFFF u really met the one who is indeed loyal to you, just like u stricking the question of dating these days its a fashion boys n girls njoy dating rather then eventually planning to getting married, but if ur feelings r sincere and not abrupt then the deal can be fair unless ur parents make it possible, reasons might be cast, job, family background and i cant carry on with the list out here, but not always all of our age can be wrong and not all of our elders can be at wrong!!
Indeed! you need a shoulder to cry on
