If a culture can't get marriage and dating remotely right, how can we expect them to develop without the use QA?
Yeah, two very similar things. That was a very intelligent observation there. :)

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

Only a select few people in the world get irony. The rest think they do. And that's ironic. Possibly.[^]

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.

When will people move into the 21st century? Forced marriages? Tying rags round wrists? I am surprised there hasn't been an 'honour killing'. (Although nothing honourable about muder).

While forced marraiges are an abomination, arranged marraiges seem to work as well as any other sort. I have meet and talked to some people who had arranged marriages and if done properly they seem to work!

Um, "friendship bands" were adopted by the West decades ago. Millions of Westerners wear them. All conventions seem silly and wasteful, until you learn the story/history behind them. I mean, what kind of idiotic government can't sit to decide on important things or make laws until someone has hit a door with a stick? Would you trust them with your taxes?
