No Relationships Before Marriage
Can you imagine having no prior contact with someone before getting married? India is still quite traditional when it comes to arranged marriages, which means that young people today rely on their families and friends to help them find a “good” match.
In addition, it is frowned upon to have relationships before marriage. There are a few big cities in India, such as Delhi and Mumbai, where “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” are used. Still, even couples who aren’t married attempt their best to keep their relationship out of sight to avoid attracting attention.
