Marriage
is the conscious decision of two individuals to get united through the
institution of marriage for permanent commitment and intimacy.
But east is east. Rather than the union of two individuals what we are
attempting is the union of two different families. Social status, financial
security and a host of other things are taken into consideration while
searching for prospective matches.
The
mental makeup is still traditional in this regard. The western
concepts of dating and co-habitation are not popular here or rather
they are yet to reach kerala shores.
