Arranged Marriages - What's Good and Not So Good About Them
Even in today's fast paced world where gender bias and illiteracy are thankfully on the decline, there are still geographical regions in this world where educated, aware and successful career men and women opt for marriages arranged by parents or well meaning elders.
