I am sure this happens widely and in many cases, the woman's consent isn't even taken, post-wedding is when the first conversation takes place. I agree this is unacceptable but in most metros, with less-conservative households, expectation is that they take their time before having a final say.
- indians_pro 11y agoHow can they have a wedding before a woman gives her consent?
- pluma 11y agoCute.
- Abraln 11y agoWell there is "consent" in that they choose between getting married and getting disowned by their family, often ending up homeless.
- vinceguidry 11y agoThey put her in a dress and tell her she's getting married, and she puts on a brave face and hopes her new husband isn't too violent.
- winter_blue 11y agoI find the idea of a marriage without consent disgusting and reprehensible beyond words.
