Text highlighted: “Hindu caste-based arranged marriage accounts for ninety-five per cent of all Hindu marriages in India, and the practice has lived on in some group here.”
Feedback: Caste system is no longer given much importance. Did you write this for the sake of making it interesting. If you don’t like arranged marriages, you should have guts to go out and find your partner and make a stance where you want to live with him or her.
Text highlighted: “Many age-old practices such as asking the prospective bride to demonstrate her singing or culinary abilities also prevail.”
Feedback: Where is this statistic from? Defame my country + religion for what??
Text highlighted: “Arranged marriages are more often than not coercive, and a sentiment that sells easily is “doing it for the family pride”
Feedback: Ain’t this case with ALL marriages
