some feel that love marriage is better and some arranged marriage. Both are good from ther respective points of view. You can choose any. But in the process u should not hurt any body. IF u choose love ur parents may be hurt. I prefer love marriage if that does not hurt any of the parties connected to tthe lovers. what is ur opinion???????

I believe that you should always marry for love, not because you have been told to do it. I don't think that it should be up to someone's parents to decide who they marry. It should be someone that you want to spend the rest of your life. I am all for parents being asked their opinion of a potential spouse, but I don't think that they should have the final say who any of their offspring choose to wed. I have known of a couple of instances where arranged marriages have lasted, but in these, the husband and wife already knew each other. Both of them were already dating, and their parents arranged with the other family to have them wed. Although I do believe it should be in the hands of the person wanting to marry, this was a nice way of keeping with their culture of arranged marriage, whilst allowing room for love.

Hi Kiran, Whichever way you get married, one should not hurt their parents. Even if it is a love marriage , convince your parents about your love, show them that you love them even when you chose your partner. They should not feel that you are over riding them with your preferences. My marriage has been a an arranged marriage and I have been very happy for the past 31 years. Any type of marriage has its own ups and downs. Adjustment, understanding and patience are the key notes for ones happy wedded life. While mine was an arranged marriage , my daughters was a love marriage. She convinced us, brought her would be to uour place and introduced him. Waited till we understood him, like wise he had taken her to his place and introduced her to his parents. After that we parents together and got them married happily. It is three years now. So parents blessings are a must in the wedding whichever way you get married. They should not get hurt at all.

I think the marriage which is blessed by our parents and elder ones is the best

In my opinion, its better to be in a marriage where you are the one who choose whom to be your spouse. Someone whom you love. In that way you will never blame anybody once it failed. Naother thing is that you will never sure if you'll be happy in the hands of the person who became your spouse because of fixed marriage.

think this way..if u get into arranged marriage and you find that your husband is simply superb. and another case is that u get to marry the one whom you loved and after marriage you find that your guy has totally changed and your life is getting bad to worse with him as days pass by..now which one do you prefer? so its not that love marriage or an arranged one. but its the person whom you get to marry that matters a lot...good luck.

nowadays i dont see true love.We should not hurt any one for our self interest.Nowdays parents are caring more for their childrens please dont hurt them.even if u love someone u can inform to your parents and convience them so it may be an arranged marriage.If this happens both of u will be satisfied..

Hi kiran, I'm sure that this depends on where you live and your culture. In my country, arranged marriage is almost unheard of. I believe arranged marriages work well where this has always been the custom. Blessings.

whichever you choose, there are always people that will be hurt. it is just the matter of deciding which is best for yourself. if you choose to make yourself happy, then go with the love marriage. but if you give more importance on others' feelings, then do a sacrifice. every decision you make comes with responsibilities and consequences.

Good day.. I can't really say what's better of the two, I believe that they both have their own advantages and disadvantages and marriage like life is unpredictable even how perfect the beginning of it seemed. I'm more concern of my freedom to choose. I mean this is my life whether I choose to have a love marriage or an arranged marriage, I should have what I've decided. That way when the marriage goes smooth or sadly rough I have no one to blame but me and I believe since this is my life I should stand and fall on my own decision.

Well, in my opinion...love marriage is better than arranged marriage. Though it is true that not all marriages because of love have happy endings...still there are less regrets since there are only two parties involve. It is the woman and the man who has a mutual feeling towards each other. We have our own differences and at east for love marriage they were able to discover it and live with it because of love. With arranged marriage, it is very diffcult since you will live with the man or woman whom somebody else has chosen or decided for you. It's either you will be forced to learn to like him/her for some reason but not love. In arranged marriage there are other people involve in the process and they greatly affect every events in the couples life. Take care =)

In my opinion Love marriage is the only way to go. How can you be in a marriage that was arranged and you may not even know your partner but you are expected to love honor and cherish this person I think arranged marriages are a crock of bull i would never agree to something like that

as far as i am concerned , i feel that love marriage is better than arranged marriage. the reasons being that when you are in love somebody you actually care abut them a lot. you have good understanding between the both of you. when it comes to love marriage my parents dont have an objection and so i have got an added advantage. i ave been in love with a person a lot of times but i never got to be with them. i feel if i get the girl that i m behind, then she will be my princess. i will be doing whatever she wants me to. i will love her as much as she wants, i will be with her as much as she wants. and that is where you build up a really very good relationship. i find it that building a good relationship is lot easier when ti comes to love marriage cause you know that person already and you know already their likes and dislikes. so what i would suggest is love marriage. but yes i would even like to know what you feel about the matter. so will be surely waiting for your comments on the topic. bbyee and happy mylotting.

When a girl get to know a boy, and brings him back home, introduce to her parents. The experienced parents can help the girl to choose her boyfriend. I think this is a better way.

Love marriage is defiantly better - with an arranged marriage you may not like the person you will marry, but you know you like/love the person you marry in a 'love marriage'.
