I will follow you blindly forever

Marriage is suppose to be an equal partnership, in which each one has an equal place. But in this male dominated society, that is hard to find.

 

It's changing of course, things are more practical now than they were say a 100 years ago.

 

But I just feel this picture brings out the blind faith that a woman is expected to show towards her husband, following and obeying him always.

 

I am not judging this particular couple. I hope they are as happy as couples can be. I am only using it as imagery to bring out this underlying thought.

 

Forceful arranged marriages are more common place in India than many of the western cultures. So this might not be so relevant to some of you.

Something as serious a commitment as marriage should never be forced.

 

Remember marriage is as pagan a ritual as human sacrifice.
