Arranged Marriages ?

A guy I know had married couple of days ago. An arranged marriage. He never saw or met the girl. Hes in Calcutta while she is in Pune. And quite obviously the day he got her cell number they were talking long hours. I never quite understood this behaviour of people who are undergoing pre-arranged marriages. Thats love he said. I nodded.
The clincher came when he got married and had to return to office in a few days. The next weekend he flew back coz he couldnt "wait".
"Responsibilities, ya'know" he said.
I nodded.
Pray , what kind of responsibilties ? I could let my wicked mind run riot but its quite obvious that people who are desperate to get settled via arranged marriage have a one track mind. The "path of no return" beckons them. Marry if you must. Not if you can. You marry because you love. It cant be anyother way. I wouldnt understand it anyother way since I am extremely choosy even about picking my friends. The thought of spending a life time with someone who I barely know is a nightmare. And hence my long standing thought "Arranged marriages are like prostituion. Only its exclusive and long term"
