10 crazy ways to get out of an arranged marriage situation

India and arranged marriages - The unfathomable saga has and will continue for as long as we live, and there's not much we can do to stop it. 

During my last year of college, I happened to meet a whole lot of people that were mentally prepping to tie the knot, the second they graduate. Needless to say, one out of ten were excited about it, and the rest? Just reluctantly going along with family traditions. 

Dubbed as 'The big fat Indian Weding' , our country proudly boasts of getting two complete strangers to legally commit to each other, and live happily ever after. To many in our society, that concept makes perfect sense and anyone who dares to question the logic, is "asanskari" meaning, uncultured. 

Now of course, there's a whole thought process involved behind arranged marriages, and it has also evolved over the years, but the old school stranger-meets-stranger and gets married is still prevalent. And that's what our generation can't seem to wrap our head around.

8. Tell him you broke up with 2 men because they sucked in bed.
