Being in the world of internet technology, I have had the chance to work with lots of Indian coworkers. I must have worked with over 40 Indians in various capacities. What is fascinating about all their stories is the ease in which they got married. Three weeks, one month, one week, even 30 minutes! Yes folks, Americans can look for years before finding THE one.. In India, this process is as easy as 1..2..3.

When a person is ready for marriage (shaadi), his/her parents or other acquaintances will look for a suitable mate. If their families or acquaintances are not successful in finding a mate, they always have the internet. Some Indians are not surprised to find their Indian roomates, classmates, coworkers all listed on the same sites. In fact, Indian marriage websites are a booming business.
When a suitable mate is found, they need two pieces of information from the other person: Date of birth and location of birth. This is needed to "check the mate's horoscope" to ensure a great match. The horoscope system is based on a 36 point system. The higher the score the more likely it is to be a perfect match.

My friend Vijay met a girl and when they were talking on the phone for the first time, the girl was already ready to get married. "Don't you want to see my pictures first?", Vijay asked. No, I don't have to, my parents have already talked to you and if they don't have a problem, then I don't either.

Most of the time, Indians don't date for pleasure. If they date, it usually means that they are ready to commit to a life long relationship with their soulmate. Now of course, with the younger generation there are more Indians dating for fun, but when they do, it is usually somewhat taboo.

According to information on the web, India has the LEAST amount of divorces in the WORLD. India's divorce rate is a meager 1%. Compare that with the U.S. which is a whopping 54%. According to some blogs, this is mostly because divorce is frowned upon as a culture in India. There are Indians who have comments such as "I am ready to give the girl three rings: engagement ring, marriage ring, and suffering." Another reason Indian women are likely to unmarry even if they are unhappy is that once divorced it is very difficult to find a man who will marry her.
