@Flashplayer0CD it's true it is taboo in certain culture. Don't take it lightly because the backlash is a great deal. It really is a complex problem depending on the subject. One cannot properly explaining it in one occasion, especially by text. Marriage is not about just love, is about building their entire life together. Then comes the responsibility to shoulder the partner's family too. Well, the responsibility off course can be divided by the subject's family. But, it really is not that easy to do in action. Have you ever read "otoyomegatari" and "domestic love"? I suggest to read that for a better understanding. I am not forcing you to agree with me. But trust me, a domestic marriage is much more weigh to handle than being a president of a country, it's not worth the risk. And last, the reasoning, "the stigma is dumb" is an insult to one who does sacrifice own feeling to building his future
