Are Indians Opinionated about Marraiges??

One of the person asked me recently that Are Indians opinionated about marriages??????

At the first thought I didn't have instant answer...some how tried to give some logic about our family traditions and marraige chemistry........

But do we have such image in outsiders eyes about our realtionships and marraiges???
I feel we(Indians) are still very much an exclusive group...and the we are more inward looking than outward which make people's scratch their heads to ask such queries!!!!!!
