Arranged Marriage

6/22/15

I'm back! Poor you, having to wait so long for me. I post whenever I feel like it. So deal with it ^_^ It's currently sunny and hot on this lovely summer day! Currently it's 86 degrees with slight--! Oops this is not the weather channel. This is the news channel DUH. I might go on and ooooooon about the debatable topic- arranged marriage. So why am I going to talk about arranged marriage?

Arranged marriage can either be a good thing or a bad thing. It all depends on the person. If you're a brown girl, you might hate it. If you're a parent, you might love it. It sucks for guys and girls who have to get arranged marriages. Sometimes they're compete strangers and sometimes they're cousins. They spend the rest of their lives together and this means expanding the family. You totally get what I mean ;) Except it's Ramadan so you can't do any of that, you naughty child. Stop thinking about it! STOP! I'M SERIOUS! Okay, moving on... My mom and I were talking about arranged marriages. I was complaining about how arranged marriages can ruin your life and my mom was complaining about me complaining about how arranged marriages can ruin your life. It went a little something like this:

Me: "Ammu, will you force me to have an arranged marriage? I don't want one."

Mom: "Why would you ask me that? Are you hiding something from me? Are you doing itish pitish with a boy? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ABOUT ARRANGED MARRIAGES! YOU CAN HAVE A REALLY NICE LIFE IF YOU HAVE ONE AND YOU WON'T SUFFER FROM LOVE MARRIAGES. YOU WON'T EVEN FIND A BOY CUZ U UGLY AF! SO ARRANGED MARRIAGE IS A GOOD OPTION FOR YOU! I REGRET -blah-blah-blah! "

Me: T_T     Y u do dis?


There was more to the extremely exaggerated conversation. I was just too lazy to put it down.


My mom is fond of arranged marriages. She is disgusted with love. She prefers arranged marriages with cousins because they have known each other and they're close. It's a bit too close though o.O The right term for this is ---hold on lemme get out urban dictionary. *Flips le virtual pages*. Oooh found it! INCEST! It means....

"The way the British royal family keeps itself German." 

.......................... close enough. My mom prefers that I marry my cousin. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! But in my defense, all my cousins have found lovely ladies. These ladies are in no way my cousins. That's amazing because my mom will have no one to compare me to. My dad said that if my grades are crappy in my freshman year of high school, he will set up an arranged marriage. That's not helpful because my grades are not the best. But then again all my cousins are taken. Too bad for him :P
