This episode is with and about one of the major inspirations to this podcast: Shipra from India. I met Shipra and her husband, Himanshu, in the beginning of 2020 and was delighted to see what a harmonious couple they were. When they later on told me that they had an arranged marriage, I was shocked as my own stereotypes backlashed on me.
Love has so many faces that finding it does not always mean following the same path.
In this talk, we will entangle the concept of forced and arranged marriage, talk about the promising constellations of stars and finally see how finding a partner for an arranged marriage in many ways is actually not that different from going on a dating platform to check out various candidates according to your preferences. Shipra will also talk about uncomfortable moments, how she sees the relation between love and marriage and what kind of marriage she is imagining for her kids.
As in any other episode our guest is sharing personal experiences which can be taken as an inspiration to unfold new perspectives on a controverse topic.
