Kolkata (Calcutta), India

Calcutta

Years ago, Calcutta was the capital city of India.

Arranged marriage is a tradition in India. When a person is ready to get married, they will ask their mother and father to find them a husband or wife. They believe their parents are very wise and will make a good decision. Some things the parents will think about when they make this decision include how wealthy the person is, and what their family is like.
