Yes i do believe... and i have experienced myself as well :) and its going fantastic.. thanks God.. Infact i think there should be no concept of love before marriage. Love after marriage is true love and the genuine way to enjoy the life in a decent way........ (im zia from pakistan)

Yes, I think arranged marriages can work. The 'love' that many people experience that causes them to want to get married is often, really, just a passing fancy. If those marriages work, it is because those people understand the commitment they have made to each other and come to accept it. In VERY rare cases two people can love each other in exactly the same way for the rest of their lives. An arranged marriage should be made, though, on the careful consideration that the two people are compatible. Too often, I suspect, they are just made on financial and 'social' grounds. I think the two people should be allowed to have a say, as well. They should know each other a little before marriage. I have heard some terrible stories of girls who were married by arrangement and were desperately unhappy. They tried to escape many times but were beaten and raped by their husbands and this was condoned by their own families. I think this is a sad fact that is often quite common in societies where arranged marriages are usual. They seem to be societies which also condone the unspeakably barbaric habit of female genital mutilation. Many cultures (not just Islam and Hindu ones) have a form of 'arranged' marriage. It is less formal, perhaps, and consists of introducing young people to 'suitable' partners as well as expressed family disapproval of partners not considered suitable. I think that if two people intend to get married, it is always wise to take advice from people who know them well but are not emotionally involved.

You are very correct. In our country in rural areas there are many incidences like the one you mentioned keeps coming but as the time and social and time is changing i wish these kind os cases shud not appear... i dunno u believe in astrology or not but we have each person Kundlis theu which we can predict how his rest of life gonne be!! And by matching two kundlis we find the pairs... And believe me These marraiges never fails..

I've heard of a lot of arrange marriages work. Maybe it works because the arranged marriages come from strict cultures (India and a few other countries), and they probably can't divorce. But I would never marry in a arranged marriage. It's like marrying a total stranger and having to get in bed with someone you hardly know!

u tell me one thing .. watever the strict culture it may be but the success rate of arrange marriages is much higher than the Love marriages in western Countries !! In Western Societies Couple do not trust each other and they often land up getting divorced..

Control is not the correct word here..If you have respect for your Parents and your culture you will enjoy it .. but once u get into a relation just for the sake of love with no commitment in it U will get bored up 1 day and this result in Divorce..

They may very well work because there are 2 people going into a marriage with no love so you can't be hurt so much and if the sole reason is toget married for kids or whatever BUT is that being happy to the full meaning of being happy....love is a beautiful state to be in.

I dont think arranged marriages really work. I think its much better to find the person you love personally. For some cases they do work but i dont think it will be real love.

arrange marriage have less breakup cos it was arrange..duh.. so whenever there's a problem the arranger AKA parents will do their job to fix the problems. they dont want the arrangement to fell apart,rite? so arrange married is like playing a role that already being arrange by the parents. it will always go on track. while love marriage is based on emotion.

It may be weird because we live in a free society but for other people to pick pur mates isn't a bad idea. Why because we are shallow and excuse the faults in our partner. Ur family could make a clearer choice.
