Wt my mouth wide open, I watched 4 episodes of Indian Matchmaking as my dentist drilled my teeth. I was struck by how much its tropes resonate with the theories of lineage, kinship, & intermarriage I study in the early modern period. But also, the heteropatriarchy is a disease!

I’m so sorry. Underneath the veneer of the perfect fantasy are oppressive forces that break women. One of the reasons I fled Lebanon was the politics of matrimony. There are many commonalities between Arab & Desi cultures. Sadly this is one of them.

Not to seek to mine your pain, but once you've processed, would happily devour your critique.

You’re so kind, Anna. I really wanted to watch something mindless but ended up feeling complicit/furious for rooting for these matches. Also the ruthless fat shaming was very triggering.
