Arranged marriages in America



MATCH-MAKER: Madhuri Dixit

SONY'S KAHIN Na Kahin Koi Hai may have bitten the dust, in spite of its glamorous anchor; the much married Mrs. Madhuri Sriram Nene. But a "find your soul mate" kind of show has suddenly surfaced in America of all places, made by the same people who made Temptation Island.

Fox airs the show featuring single males and females, in the age group of 21 to 39, who must have a good job, friends, nice family, and an unwavering trust in the TVviewing public.

The casting search for Married by America has begun, but applicants need to know the final catch - the show's audience has the final say and the couple won't meet until they're engaged!

In addition to the criteria listed above, participants have to be childless and never married before.

Relationship experts will choose several potential spouses for each person. Family members and friends will narrow the pool to two, with viewers making the final decision.

Can Married by America work where Kahin Na Kahin_ was rejected, even in a culture firmly committed to arranged marriages?
