The stories written by Bernard Malamud "The Magic Barrel" and Ved Mehta's "Pom's Engagement" talk about the roll of families or "arrangers" have in marriages. We are going to compare and contrast the match making process used in both stories and see some examples of it.
In the story "The Magic Barrel" there is a rabbi that in order for him to make it easier to win a congregation, he needs to get married. So, he looks for a marriage broker "whose function is ancient and honorable, and highly approved in the Jewish community" (Malamud 199). The point here is that the rabbi, after watching some possible bride pictures, he completely falls in love with one of them. Now, this wasn't a supposed to happen because in the Jewish culture, falling in love doesn't exist.
On the other hand, in Mehta's story, a family makes the job of the marriage broker when arranging their oldest daughter future. In contrast with the other story, in this case, the daughter is not looking for a couple, so she is very scared and worried about her planned destiny. The father explains her that "love means something very different from falling in love. It's not an act but a life long process" (Mehta 4).
After comparing both stories we can see that for some cultures, an arranged and planned marriage works much better than the falling in love tradition. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages and whether to follow the custom that corresponds to you will depend on the culture you were born.
