    They are practicing this in India if I am not wrong, but it is done by the parents. They are collecting CVs of prospective partners and sharing them with their kids. So it is like Tinder for parents kind of.

    I also have a Pakistani colleague and he told me that they have a dating app, but for marriages. You see the profile of the girl/boy, where they share how many kids they want to have, etc.

      Yep and it never ends well but they end up staying together because divorce is looked down upon in all but the most liberal communities.

        So you’re telling me all arranged marriages never end well because divorce is looked down upon?

          No I’m saying the bad ones are hard to escape from, Rakesh. I’m literally a fellow desi and I’ve seen how these things go. Arranged marriage is a barbaric practice that needs to end.
