For me, one of the more mysterious aspects of life in India is the arranged marriage. I don't understand how you could commit to spending the rest of your life with a person you first meet on the day of your actual engagement. Of course, I'm single at 36, so I'm not really in any position to judge.
Since so many marriages are arranged here, there is a bustling business in helping to arrange those arrangements. There are astrologers you can hire to ensure your signs are compatible, consultants you can hire to research the prospective spouse, even numerologists who will tell you if the letters in your names are a good omen.
But I think my favorite thing is the Matrimonial Classifieds section in the newspaper.
