Prashant Sir: as regards marriage of 2 blind individuals is concerned, families play a big role I believe.
For instance my parents had no problems when I discussed my desire of marrying with a blind girl. In fact my dad went on to an extent that even if you require support for initial years till your kids don't grow up, what's the problem? We are there. They are of the opinion that when they can have a son who can do things at his own, why can't a blind girl do. And I have seen many instances of my teachers who are totally blind but they are enjoying their life. But majority of the families and I agree even the boys and girls are not comfortable with the idea of marrying another blind. And I believe the reason for this attitude is ignorance of the possible solutions to the challenges which blind people as married couple may face. We as blind individuals do know the problems, but not the solutions which people adopt. For instance, genetic counseling is the solution to tackle the issue of a child with disability. Likewise there are others as well. I would like to see a discussion happening on what are the possible problems and solutions which are adopted by blind couple themselves for a good married life. Thanks to all those who responded to my queries, I got a sense of what can be done according to you. Regards, -- Amar Jain.
