''Besides if they still followed those customs then Connie's wouldn't be a Doctor because in Indian culture it considered a waste of time for a woman to get an education let alone a profession. ''

I have had several Indian coworkers, men and women, all with college degrees, whose spouses all had college degrees, all of whom had arranged marriages. Education is highly prized in India, though difficult to afford. Arranged marriage is still quite common, even among the educated.

The question of whether the Mahaswerans prefer an arranged marriage has nothing to do with their educations.
