Grab Your Edition The Story Of An Arranged Marriage Devised By Aliya Anjum Available Through EText
poorly written. It didn't tell me anything about an arranged marriage! It was a very short story about how successful the lady within the arranged marriage was.
Can I put zero star Annoyed, . . myyear old self could have written a better story than this, . . I want my.back. Also didn't know it was going to be this short, Seriously annoyed. Very poorly written and with a typical storyline, Would not recommend. This short story is inspired from true events,
Menaal is, attractive, western educated and committed to her career, She has hopes of meeting a special someone who would sweep her off her feet,
Destiny takes its course when her ailing father arranges her marriage with the son of his friend, whom she has never met.
Inspite of her aversion to an arranged marriage with a perfect stranger who has none of the qualities she seeks in a husband, Menaal accepts her father's decision and marries her US based husband.
Marriage completely turns her life around, She
arrives in the US with her husband, and begins a journey that eventually takes her to new discoveries about life and herself.
Pleasant enough short story Great story but ended somewhat in the air wanted more but so realize that some things have to be left to the imagination.
