marriages are made in heaven/hell.

one of my friend has raised an issue regarding marriages in foreign countrieswhere they see only the merger of minds of both bride &groom.
but in india it is not like that herewe see caste-religion-region-standard of living- dowry etc .etc
his words re correct.
in western countries amongst christions there are difference not by caste but by their standar of living
the same condition prevails among moslims also
here i want to stress one point is that hinduism is the oldest religion in this globe
islam,chritianity budhdhism jainism etc,etc, religions hve been derived from hinduism only
naturally there were many mistakes in hinduism -the oldest religion,.
in due course many religions had come after making due modification in hinduism
hence u cannot findsuch mistakes like caste etc.in other religion.
there isa saying in western countries marriages are as easy as divorce
but in india it is not so once u marry a girl till ur death she is ur wife
getting divorced is not as easy as in western countries
even in most hindu families after death also the wife lives wth her husband(rememberances) only
but this will be a very rare scene in western countries
i dont' know marriages are made in ------------------ in western countries but in india theyare made in heaven only
