--- Examples of successful love marriages (at least the ones that have lasted long) Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan Nawab of Patuadi and Sharmila Tagore Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar Our own Indira and Feroze Gandhi, Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne Khan
Our own devtas have had love marriages: Krishna and Rukmini Kartikeya and Valli Shiva and Parvati
And who can forget the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna or the fact that Bharata who gave his name to our country, Bharatvarsha, was the product of a love marriage between Shakuntala and Dushyanta?
In an intercommunity marriage, it is true that cartain extra adjustments are needed, but even if one marries within one's community, there are plenty of other adjustments. Not all love marriages happen against parents' wishes and not all are outside the community. Sometimes, there are even intercaste arranged marriages. If parents object against someone just because he/she is not from the same community/caste/religion or not of their choice, then is it even fair? Parents are not perfect, they have their own misgivings, ego and prejudices, too.
