Steal and rebound...
No no, I am not going to talk about basketball here.
If I look around, some of the most successful Indian marriages in my generation seem to
have stemmed either from a 'steal' or a 'rebound'. In the western context, one would perhaps see such relationships as merely transient. But, my take is that in the Indian context, nothing (well, almost nothing) works better than a 'steal' (for example, the girl stealing the guy away from another girl) or a 'rebound' (I will not insult your intelligence by defining a 'rebound').
Good food for thought in terms of why this may be happening...
(I just didn't have the patience to analyze! :) Feel free to propound away!)

Elementary, dear Sharma.
The trick is doing so and at the same time seemingly following the codes of bro-ho (or sis-ho) conduct.
Which brings me to...how come your steal is defined as gal stealing guy from another gal but not vice versa...something there? Or just an example?
True. Fine line to be walked there, mate.
The steal definition was an example. Yes, it works both ways. Good to see you.
guess you're just wanted and accepted all the more in both situations.
Interesting point, Anony. I decided not to analyze it and let it be. Its definitely food for thought though...
interesting
haven't known of many such marriages
wonder what the reasoning could be - a guy/girl on rebound has learnt what not to do??
desperation?
"ive found sumone, now let me put the superglue before he/she gets away" kinda thinking...
heard of any divorce stories that followed?
CC - Nah, not yet (and I hope not).
Hmm, perhaps Fevicol *is* potent.
