i have this cousin (trust me, it's not me) and he's getting married to someone he doesn't know. he was arranged with someone else. but he feels something extra special with another girl and he's been having this feeling for a long time already. he talked to my aunt(his mother) about it. my aunt said it's perfectly fine to feel something special for someone but he should not indulge so much on it.
you see, we come from a community that values arranged marriages so much like how the Chinese people do. it's rooted in our culture and tradition and breaking the rules will mean sanctions.
he's a really close cousin and i understand him. there would be times when i would see him arguing with some of our relatives about it asking why he can't choose and decide for himself.
i really feel for him. he's getting married to someone else but his heart belongs to someone really special.
what do you think should he do? i asked my other cousins and they said there's nothing we could do to help our cousin. it's really up to the old folks. i can really see the pain he's going through.
*Have you seen someone close to you who was married with someone he/she doesn't know?
*What do you think of arranged marriages? what do you think are the best things to do when you're in a situation like that of my cousin?
