    Marriages are made in heaven and it is truly said. The marriage institution is very blessed in india and it is considered as the most holy and traditional thing that how two people binds together for a life time. Basically, Indian people follow the arrange marriage system and they consider it as something great. In India, parents take care of their children and children obey their parents. Parents find suitable spouses for their children from appropriate families. If children face any problems in their married life then guardians of both families work out together.

    I don't think we can find such a marriage culture elsewhere in the world apart from India. Parents are looked upon as divinity in India and they take the privilege of choosing the right partner for their children. This culture has long been followed since the olden times and still prevails in almost all the families. I think we should not let go off this cultural tinge of ours anywhere in the future.

    Marriages in India are considered to be very sacred. It is considered to be made in heaven and is an eternal binding of two souls which is solemnized by taking seven steps around the holy fire known as "Saptapadi". The culture of arranged marriage can be only seen in India, where parents look for bride or groom for their children and children duly obey and accept their parents choice. It is a long prevalent custom in every Indian family, however, today, love marriages are also well accepted in the Indian Society.

    Arranged marriage is a part of Indian culture and is practiced all throughout the nation. Marriages in India is considered as a scared affair and generally the elders in the family take up the responsibility of finding matches for both girls and boys. Moreover, arranged marriages reflects the trust that children have upon their parents and elders that they will choose the best for their children. This is another feature that makes Indian culture unique.

    The culture of Arrange marriage is an unique feature of our Indian culture which distinguishes India from the other nations. Arrange marriage is an age old culture of India and this proves the belief and trust of children in their elders. In India marriages are fixed by the elders of the family and the spouse is generally selected by them and children readily agree to their parent's choice.
