The Secret Diary of an Arranged Marriage
A British-Bengali girl looking for Mr Right. A motley crew of men, some hoping it’s them. A mum on a mission to match make. And an age-old tradition with a twist.
Welcome to the world of the arranged marriage.
“While I’m young, (somewhat) free and single, time is - by Bengali standards - marching on. I’ve got to meet my dream man, or at least someone I can grow to like, and get married. The trouble is, having never fully fit in with my English friends or Asian community, I don’t really know what - or who – I’m looking for.
Luckily (or not) for me, arranged marriages are still a thing. So alongside my own dating efforts, it’s everyone’s business - from my adorable yet overbearing mum, to pretend aunties and profiteering opportunists - to find me a match. With all this help, I’m pretty sure I’ll land a husband, but will he be ‘The One’?”
The Secret Diary of an Arranged Marriage lifts the lid on the intriguing world of British-Bengali matrimony. The debut novel from former journalist Halima Khatun explores family, identity and belonging with acerbic humour.
The Secret Diary of a Bengali Bridezilla
One couple. Three months. 600 guests (most of whom I’ve never met) and LOTS of opinions.
Welcome to my big fat Bangladeshi wedding.
To do:
- [ ] Find top makeup artist
- [ ] Create meaningful favours
- [ ] Outdo my cousins impending nuptials
- [ ] Have nervous breakdown?
I’ve found my dream man but will my wedding day be a nightmare? If Fleabag and Bridget Jones got together over tea and a samosa, this is what you’d get. Former journalist Halima Khatun’s hilarious follow-up to The Secret Diary of an Arranged Marriage is a must read for anyone looking for British wit with a multicultural twist.
The Secret Diary of a Bengali Newlywed

First comes love... then comes marriage... now the nosey aunties are asking when I’m going to have a baby.

The meddling aunties, competitive cousins, and her adorable, yet overbearing, mother all have something to say about it. As the community chimes in with unsolicited opinions, our heroine must navigate the noise while staying true to herself.

I went through the arranged marriage process. I met a boy, married him, then learned how to live with him in a whole new city.
