At the age of 60, looking back at all I have seen, I can say that it is best to know the person well before marrying or you could have a life of unhappiness. What works in China or India does not necessarily work in America. The saying "marry in haste repent at leisure" is, in fact, quite true.

I agree that it is best to know the person you are marrying.
Still, other than anecdotal I have not seen any evidence that marriages do better or worse with either way.
