Love (?) and Marriage

It is pretty much assumed here that everyone gets married. The bank manager looked at me like I had two heads when I checked off the "single" box on my bank application (why my marital status has anything to do with opening a bank account is another question). I have had two different people ask me when I plan on getting married. When I say that I have no plans to get married people do not understand.
Arranged marriages are still very common here, I read somewhere that 95% of marriages here are arranged, not sure how accurate that number is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was that high. Our company driver is getting married and has only seen a photo of his bride to be.
There are commercials on TV for websites for finding a spouse just like there are commercials back home for dating websites. And apparently the paper has personals for people looking for a spouse. It is also normal for a man to go to the US or Canada and work for a few years and then return to India to get a wife.
Young women here live with their families until they are married then they go and live with their husbands. Marriage equals financial stability. I'm quite the anomaly; in my 30s and single and living alone. One girl asked me if my parents were ashamed of me for being single.
There is a line in the movie "The Truman Show" (yes, I have referenced that movie twice, it is my favorite) that "we accept the reality with which we are presented" or something like that, and I guess that is true. To me my life is "normal", to the people around me here I am definitely not normal.
I can't help but wonder what my life would be like if we lived in a culture where marriage was a given and arranged marriages were the norm. Would I have refused...I am pretty stubborn. Who would I be married to if it was arranged? Would I be happy?
I don't know, but I'm happy that I am able to choose my own path and that if meet someone I want to marry that I can, and if I don't meet that person that is okay too.
