Dear Dimple:

Please do not marry the man arranged for you to marry. It is very sad that you are told to marry a man. I know this is a social practice, convention, tradition but it is wrong for you as an individual. You will suffer and nothing good can come out of it. Children should not be brought to a marriage into which you enter disturbed and distress to start.

Regardless of what happens with the man you are involved with (his marriage was also arranged…?) – don’t marry this man.

This practice of arranged marriages is making me sad. Don’t make it your next tragedy!
