//Well, tats wat even I've heard.....but tell me- how do u expect 'love' to play a role here if in arranged marriage, //

well, like how love plays a role.... in

* IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHTs or
* due to good looks
* due to good char etc

like that love happens...
when u live with a person for their

* char
* looks
* attitude
* cute lil things...

beleive me, not all who has arranged marriges live loveless life.
Not all who end up doing love marriages, continue to love.
