    I don’t know how popular arranged marriage is nowadays but it may be a huge factor with India’s high ranking.

    I read this short book thinking I would be laughing at the backwardness but ended up admiring it as high culture.

      I remember seeing data that over a longer timescale arrange marriages are happier, and the crossover point was sobething around 5 years.
