No different, just as stupid.

And so are baggy pants. That's the point, it's got nothing to do with the 21st century, or being 'backwards'. It's just the sort of thing teenagers do.

Having a father demand his daughter's ex-boyfriend marry his younger daughter? Yeah, just one of them teenage things...

Way to change the subject. So, I assume you now admit that the band thing, unlike the arranged marriage, is not 'backwards' at all.

Tying rags round wrists?
I don't see what's wrong with that. Girls in the west are walking around with rubber bands on their wrists, how is that different ? How is putting on a wedding ring different ? It's just a custom to show a type of affection.

Ah yes, the classic tale of Romewho and Wholiet. We need a diagram to figure out all the different connections on that story. Reminds me of I'm My Own Grandpa.

OK, so you changed the subject, and avoided my question, because you felt that you knew you were right, but didn't want to prove it ? Thanks for taking my feelings in to account.

I've seen plenty of grown adults exchange rings. I thought most did that, actually (at least in the US).

Meh - just another foolish backwards tradition. You put a hunk of metal on your finger ?

That comment was directed at the rubber bands and the baggy pants, not the wedding rings.

Aren't the rubber bands and wedding rings (not to mention rags) both forms of affection? My point is that it's not backwards or just something teenagers do... it's a way anybody can show affection.

Boy dumps girl who tied rakhi to husband to reunite with him[^] For those who don't know, in certain states in India, girls tie rakhis (colored bands) on their brothers' wrists as a show of affection. Sometimes they tie rakhis to guys who are not their biological brothers after which they become symbolic brothers (personally, I never got it, maybe it's just a way girls used to get rid of guys who were after them). Anyway, here is what makes the story so weird.
The bizarre wedding created newspaper headlines a fortnight ago. The strangest part was that Nitesh, a 21-year-old supervisor in an IT company, was earlier engaged to marry Aarti's elder sister. But when she eloped with a trainee police sub-inspector before the marriage, her father, asked Nitesh to marry her younger sister Aarti.
So Nitesh (the poor husband) was engaged to be married to this girl. And she elopes with a trainee cop! Seriously, who does that? And then her father asks him to marry her younger sister! :wtf:
Soon the boy's family learnt that Aarti had been forced into the alliance. "Aarti told my son that she had a lover — an engineering student in Rudrapur — whom she had met in college. They had also secretly married in a temple. Her family possibly drugged her on the night of the wedding," Nitesh's father Anil Tyagi had told TOI earlier this month.
Well turns out the younger sister (Aarti) had another lover and she was drugged/forced into getting married. That's when Nitesh decides he'll make a sister out of her. :wtf:
On learning this, Nitesh made Aarti tie him a rakhi so that she could continue to live in the house as his sister.
That's when this happened:
Now it turns out that the girl's lover — actually her first husband, since the two had allegedly earlier got married in a secret ceremony — has dumped her and is avoiding contact with her.
So the girl's lover has no further interest in her (and apparently he's her first husband). The cops tried to reunite her with him but he refused to show up, so they tried to reunite her with her new husband (the
Meh. In our countries a jilted guy trying to boink the exes sister to get back at her is hardly unheard of, nor is her leading him on out of spite before making it clear she's only interested in something else. Aside from the bit about the doped wedding, this entire chain of dysfunction could've happened here too. The only difference being that all the losers would be paid a few grand to go on the springer show and expose themselves for cameras. X|

Awesome, a great business opportunity for street vendors, restaurants, rickshaw guys and taxis. :doh: I did not check out the source first. It is from TOI - the newspaper filled with mostly lies and unconfirmed stories.
