Love marriage or arrange marriage???? Open for debate
Two men, one American and one Nepalease were sitting in a famous bar of Kathmandu drinking local Tharra shot after shot. The Nepalese said to the American, You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so-called homely girl from a village whom I haven't even met once. We call this arranged marriage. I don't want to marry a girl whom I don't love...I told them that openly and now have a hell lot of family problems."
The American said, "Talking about love Marriages... I'll tell you my story.
I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated for 3 years. "After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father's father-in-law. My daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father's brother and so he my uncle. Situations turned worse when my father had a son.
Now my father's son i.e. my brother is my grandson. Ultimately, I have become my own grand father and I am my own grandson. And you say you have family problems....
The 'funny' thing is, Modo, this could actually happen too ..... It reminded me of the Nigerian film I think Santa talked about - the one with the guy coming to London to 'inherit' his dead brother's English wife .... I'm trying to find somewhere in Scotland where I can get a copy as it seems to be a light-hearted take on culture clashes.
