A twist on sayin "I do"

In April, CNN.Com posted a story entitled Arranged marriage gets a high-tech twist. The article profiles a few different Muslim families and how technology has impacted the culture of arranged marriages. One woman, Sabiha Ansari, flew to India with her parents in 1991 to meet her potential husband. Within 20 minutes she was asked if she would marry him. Come 2005, her younger sister underwent a less stressful, more personable arranged marriage. She e-mailed her future husband off and on for seven months before they decided to get married. The article even peeks into sites like http://www.shaadi.com/, where parents can search for men and make profiles for their daughters to find them a suitable husband. Obviously technology hasn't deterred any cultural traditions. So out of curiosity I decided to visit Shaadi, which is Hindu for "wedding". Only thing that impressed me about the site is that most of the men had pretty good jobs. My cup of tea? Not so much.
