    This book is an exploration of the ways spouses are selected in India. Most of the Indian contemporary narratives chosen by the authors follow the journey of young women (and even a young man), as their mothers attempt to find them a suitable husband (or spouse) through the traditional practice of arranged marriages. The authors discuss a wide range of issues: the age-old traditional practice of arranged marriages, professional services like matrimonial agencies, matchmaking business, women’s fears of never finding the perfect match, the involvement of family in matchmaking, the tensions over unwanted arranged marriage, the impact of experiences of humiliation and pain on spouse-selection, as well as the intricate web of familial and societal expectations in modern Indian society.
