Two men, one American and one Nepali were sitting in a bar drinking shot after shot. The Nepalese
man said to the American, ‘You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called
homely girl from a village whom I haven’t even met once.’ We call this arranged marriage. I don’t
want to marry a woman whom I don’t love… I told them that openly and now have a hell lot of family
problems.’
The American said, talking about love marriages… I’ll tell you my story.
I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated for 3 years. ‘After a couple of years, my father
fell in love with my step-daughter and married her, so my father became my son-in-law and I became
my father’s father-in-law. Legally now my daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother.
More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father’s brother and so he is my uncle.
Situations turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father’s son, my brother is my grandson.
Ultimately, I have become my own grand father and I am my own grandson. And you say you have family
problems?
