	Another friend of mine is off to India to do what
	he must: get himself a wife.  I asked him whether
	he had a particular girl in mind to which he re-
	plied, "My family will find a girl for me."
 
	Has anyone ever wondered why "arranged" marriages
	are so popular with the 'educated' when 'love'
	marriages are on the rise? And why was it so pop-
	ular in the past?
