She's not even funny, I'm 22 now and I struggles to get up as a teen like crazy every single morning for no obvious reasons, suffered from overweight and hormone disregulation, it's not even a joke...as I grew up my hormones got more stable most of my problems "magically" were gone. Not raising ur kids is a total different issue
This need more views and likes
So true!!
"That escalated quickly."
Such a intelligent woman!❤😂
Don't confuse us!!!!!
She is going to give other comedians a run for their money.
Crazy! so just because she had lunches is NOT AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE by her parents.
I am an American of western European descent. Arranged marriages are a totally foreign concept out here. When I was in my mid 20's, I worked with a woman close in age to myself who was from Pakistan, and we bonded pretty quickly. She was married, and it was an arranged one, which is a common practice in that region of the world. One day, I was asking her alot of questions about the practice, and I started the conversation off by letting her know that what I would be asking her was out of genuine curiosity and a desire for cultural understanding, not due to any form of disrespect or attempt at rudeness on my end, and if I accidentally offended her, I gave her a preemptive Apology in advance. She explained the mechanics of it to me in such a way that was very understandable, clear, concise, and made it alot less uncomfortable to an American's mentality. Basically, in her case, her parents were dead, but she had a good number of older brothers. Her eldest brother met a fellow Pakistani woman, around the same age as he and my friend's deceased parents while they were on a long plane ride together. They began talking, and the brother found out she had an unwed son not much older than his sister, my friend. He brought up my friend, and got to know both each other and the other person's unwed son / sister. Both of them felt like they knew enough about the other person and the unwed family member that they began discussing the possibility of an arranged marriage. They felt that both parties would be compatible, both parties were respectful and upstanding, neither party would hurt the other, and it would most likely be a good match. The brother kept in touch with the woman he met on the plane, talked to her and her husband some more, and not long after that, the brother flew out the woman, her son, and her husband so the families could meet face to face. The brother then showed up to his sister's (my friend's) job at the time, and had already initially brought up the plane incident, so she had some inkling what was coming when he brought the woman, her son, and her husband with him. The brother explained that he had gotten to know them well enough, the mom and her husband knew their son more than well enough to have convinced the brother of the son's good character, the brother then said he and the parents of the guy were convinced that my friend and the couple's son would be a good match, would she consider marrying him. My friend asked her brother if he was sincere in his belief that the guy was gonna be a good husband for her, and would be a good father to their kids, the brother affirmed he felt that way, so she agreed to marry him because she trusted her brother, knew he had her best interests at heart, and knew her well enough to not make a bad match for her. This conversation between my friend and I happened 20 years ago while she was pregnant with their first child, a boy, and they are still happily married today. They have 4 kids total, 3 boys and a girl, and she is SUPER CLOSE with her mother in law. She considers her mother in law to be her own actual mom at this point. I asked her further questions, like if the match was a mistake, and the hypothetical husband wound up being a closet abusive, drug addicted alcoholic, would the wife be allowed to divorce him? Would she be looked down upon by her family / next husband, or would they all be understanding? Questions of that nature. She said that the woman, once she let her family know what was going on, she would have their full support on the divorce issue and, if she were to marry again, the next husband would be totally understanding. Same thing if the wife was the abusive, drug addicted alcoholic and the husband insisted on the divorce. Any future wife he had after that divorce would be equally understanding. The point is, I was so happy to have that better understanding about the cultural practices of different parts of the world, and to be able to understand the process of arranged marriage better. I am accepting of it, now that I understand it. It's not forced, it's totally consensual, and, by the way my friend put it, sometimes your family knows you better than you yourself so, and are able to see certain things you don't. It is actually important for the family to be involved with the process, and in the case of her and her husband, things couldn't have gone better. So long as they continue to be happy together, that's all that matters, I am 100% ok on it. If there is anyone who reads this who comes from a culture where arranged marriage is traditionally how things go, if there is anything I missed, or mis - worded, forgot to add, or some such thing, PLEASE correct me. I want to be sure I explained it properly. I don't want this explanation to be unintentionally incorrect, or equally unintentionally come across as uninformed or something to be frowned upon. Again - I AM an American, and it's been a while since this conversation took place, but I THINK I covered the basics.
I’m sure arranged marriages work so much better than when we do here in America because people are getting married based off SHARED VALUES and not just physical attraction and “vibes” 😒
I'm Chinese. My marriage was technically somewhat arranged and my husband still refuses to admit it. I think arrangements are still common among Chinese people, but unlike Indians, we don't tend to admit it even to ourselves because I think there's some degree of stigma associated with it. Because for Chinese people, arranged marriages are never the first option. It's what you turn to when you hit your mid-twenties and still can't find a boyfriend or girlfriend you want to marry. And so your parents start to worry and start looking around for suitable options. Then you date the options your parents choose until you get into a relationship. No pressure whatsoever to get into a relationship with any specific person they pick out. Then when you do get into a relationship and make it two years into the relationship without setting a wedding date, your parents will start asking when you're getting married and telling you how important grandchildren are, and offering to pay for everything. That's how things typically go. And when you're asked how you met your spouse, you say you were introduced by family.
Very good 🤣
Those parents got the same experience, as if they don't have a better clue than some 12-17 year old? Equality, since it works the same for both gals & guys....
As a teenager loving in the west i can sadly confirm this😂
Sorry I meant living
Why is YT trying to talk me out of having children
😅

Now, she is also American😂😂
I would love for my parents to find me a suitor
Arrange marriage is not problematic. stubborn parents/relatives can influence it but you can have a choice but forced marriage on the other hand is just utter BS
You crack me up.
she's joking but this isn't funny, heal your generational trauma and stop hitting your kids
I know this is supposed to be funny... but all I feel is sad. It's such an evil tradition.
Another person who talks about "the West" when she is actually talking about the US.

LO L❤
One of the best marriages I’ve ever seen was an Indian couple who had an arranged marriage. 😂
She and I have GOT to be related...... and I am as white as they come. We have GOT to have the same mother, because she just described EXACTLY how my mom was with me. I got popped in the mouth by my mother one time at a restaurant the day I got my retainers in, after my braces came off. I said I was going to sit in one certain chair, and with the retainers in my mouth, she thought I said shit, not sit, and I took one to the mouth. I had to take my retainer out and I actually did get understandably pissed at my mom, I got a slight attitude and asked her why she popped me in the mouth for saying I was going to sit in a certain seat. When I said it with my retainers out, my mom felt instantly horrible and apologized, because the mistake WAS hers and not mine. That was the one "get out of jail free" card I ever got with her.
Nope. Arranged marriage are the words used these days to disguise a forced marriage. That's why people think this.
Translation: Marriage = lying, power struggles, unhappiness.
She's beautiful and comical.❤
Yes, you can pick the place for lunch 😅
This is such a sad commentary. I feel bad for girls with moms like this and the boys a bit too. It seems loving but they grow up incompetent in a lot of ways.
I have 1 son and 1 daughter. I favor my daughter so much I have to constantly check myself. I don’t want either one to feel less than. Can’t relate to this AT ALL.
This woman is a gem 💜
Great since of humor
I ❤ Sindhu!
Oh no! She's funny LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
tbf arranged marriages are pretty cool the fact that your parents even care enough to try to find you someone is great. in western countries our parents don’t even care enough to hook you up with someone 😂
😂😂
Look at the data on divorce rates in western countries vs Eastern countries . Arranged marriages last longer than love marriages ..... So jokes on you 😅
😂😊
i think the misconception comes from history of western countries were arranged marriage was a forced marriage so its socially assumed but its a completely different culture and time just using the same terminology!
😂
I read a long time ago that arranged marriages are less likely to end in divorce, and that ratings of happiness with their partners is higher. In other words, we suck at determining who is a good mate for ourselves, and your parents who have been around longer and have been in a marriage for years have enough experience to know what is important.
