I have lived amongst Hindi people for a lot of my life, look up Mauritius and you'll see how big a population of Hindu people there are there.

I have to say one thing about them and that for the most part they respect their partners. There are indeed sometimes arranged marriages or ones that are set up in today's age but the hindi people for the most part go into the marriage ready to commit or to understand and be ready for their partners.

As I have noticed in soceity in Mauritius, is that the pair may not have chosen each other but they sure try their best to understand and stay together when compared to some of the ex-patriot population I see there. Of course it isn't always the case.

In the culture there is some bits where it is worked against women, but it really depends upon how he views it and how open he is to change and to other views, so its best for you to ask him about it and find out yourself slowly but surely.
