While arranged marriages attract widespread attention little is known about arranged marriages in the Deaf community. For the first time those facing arranged marriages, celebrating anniversaries or going through divorce come forward to share their experiences. What are the specific issues facing Asian families with a deaf child, why is there pressure to marry a hearing partner, why do some relationships survive while others fail and why does communication need to start at home?

Jesmin lost her hearing when she was a young child in Bangladesh and is now a talented art and design student in London with ambitions to work in fashion. Although she has freedom and independence during the day life at home is very different where she struggles to communicate with her Bengali speaking parents. As a traditional Muslim there are expectations that her marriage will be arranged but how can you plan your future when you don’t share the same language as your family?

Yasmeen tells her story through a relay interpreter to protect her identity. Her lack of communication with her Punjabi speaking parents meant that she learnt about her marriage the hard way. She tells us the unconventional ways she met her husband to be, how the marriage developed, what went wrong and what she hopes for in the future.

In Glasgow, Riaz married a hearing partner chosen by his parents but their communication problems put the relationship under pressure. He tells us how he was able to turn his life around and how he has found happiness. Likewise, Sikh couple Daljeet and Gurdev and Hindus Sarla and Navin are both celebrating successful marriages – but with a big difference. What is the secret to their success and what advice can they give other couples?

Our experts Zobia Kalim of the National Deaf Children’s Society and Tasnim Sharif of Deaf Connections provide the wider picture to these moving and thought-provoking stories.
