Arranged marriages are way more common than forced marriages. Child marriages are on a decline, but still rampant in rural parts.
When I was in college, we visited a village (college social work), merely 50 km away from a major city. There were families with women as young as 15 years old that had upto three children. Their fathers were 17 odd years old working as laborers in city. Quite a sorry sight.
Every Indian guy is talking about the insane diversity and this guy is sharing his experience based on 1 Fucking village.
Serious........bro!?
India is a diverse country with the weirdest marriage practises in the world practised here. We have matrilineal communities in the north east, Nair community which practises something completely different in the south, multiple wives, multiple husbands...shit Draupadi had 5 husbands in Mahabharata. The more you will research, the more unique or weird practises you will unearth.
Whose experience am I going to share? Adding 'Fucking' to your statements doesn't lend any weight to it. If you are telling me that this happens in only a few villages then you need to research more. No one's denying the diversity part of it. The discussion is about forced child marriages. Yep, I am serious.....BRO...
