IMO, it is really sad, if you have parents breathing down your
neck, pushing you to get married. Marriage is for two person
ultimately, not four.
If you marry someone from other countries, who knows,
they may just be interested in your money, or maybe, at the
opportunity of moving to another country for a better life.
In truth, even though marriages between two nationalities or
races are pretty common now, I still feel that relationships
with the same nationalities or race will last longer, due to the
fact that he/she has a higher chance of understanding your
culture/behaviour/habits.
And also, arranged marriage have a higher chance of failing I
believe. What TS should do, is to say no to his parents (in a
polite way of course). Afterall, he is the one who will be staying
in the same room with her and sleeping on the same bed with
her.
Above is just my point of view. No discrimination against people
from other countries or other races.
