[Air-l] arranged marriages 21st century

[Barry Wellman]

1. It's time for a rewrite of _A Suitable Boy_ taking matrimonial sites
into account.

2. A former Muslim Indian-Canadian student of mine had an arranged
marriage to a co-ethnic IT guy, but she turned down 2 possibles
beforehand. She's now writing a story with me called
"How I Arranged My Arranged Marriage" (title copyright by Uzma and me).
