Goals of the group

We will aim to create a safe, reflective and non-judgmental, 'sharing and learning' space to help participants discuss their concerns and challenges to help gather perspective around the arranged marriage process - both for those who are already navigating the process and those who are considering the option.

Who is the group for?

The group welcomes anyone who is in the process of partner search through arranged marriage and dealing with any of these thoughts.

"Is arranged marriage really for me? Why do I feel like a product on sale?"

"I find this whole space quite intimidating, confusing and tricky.Just really awkward!"

"My family does not understand, it gets so difficult to manage their expectations at times."

"It is quite scary to invest emotionally when rejections are bound to happen."

"There is too much pressure - saying yes or no is not that easy!"

  • It was comforting to hear that other people went through similar things. And hearing what was good, what was bad, and what they would change.

  • I'd give it a 10 [out of 10]. I'm surprised at how vulnerable and open everyone was in the first session.
