Learning to Love moves beyond the media and policy stereotypes that
conflate arranged marriages with forced marriages. Using in-depth
interviews and participant observations, this book assembles a rich
and diverse array of everyday marriage narratives and trajectories
and highlights how considerations of romantic love are woven into
traditional arranged marriage practices. It shows that far from
being a homogeneous tradition, arranged marriages involve a variety
of different matchmaking practices where each family tailors its
own cut-and-paste version of British-Indian arranged marriages to
suit modern identities and ambitions. Pande argues that instead of
being wedded to traditions, people in the British-Indian diaspora
have skillfully adapted and negotiated arranged marriage cultural
norms to carve out an identity narrative that portrays them as
"modern and progressive migrants"-ones who are changing with the
times and cultivating transnational forms of belonging. Â
