Are you in favor of Arranged Marriage?

They say marriages are made in Heaven - so why worry and fret? And I also believe that it is destiny- you always end up with a life partner destined for you before-hand. Anyway, in either of the two, arranged and love marriages, there are equal chances of quarrels, arguments, etc but the time they crop up may differ!! and for that matter there is no guarantee of no break-up in either; it is a pure relationship where one has to be flexible and adapt to each other, barring very horrid/ terrible situations which become intolerable. And I also feel that every parent wants their children to be happy & that is why they try to get an arranged marriage where they either know the family well otr have done their bit of research on the family background,etc.; while mostly in love marriages, it could be an infatuation turned into love or pure love itself between just the two and the impressions could have been in just a few meetings when the true character of the person does not come out at all.

I always prefer love marriage but at this moment I am for arrange marriage......

Arrange marriges are not so bad, our parents think about us, concern about us,& the world they are showing is not all about love, it about happiness,care,financial freedom, socital support ,family support,etc, if my parents choose a person who is really good for me & ofcourse my thinking & his thinking is same then i will go for arrange marrige but if someone already is in my life who love & deserve me & fulfill all the requirements which my parents accept for me then i will go for love marrige no matter my parents are against it because if i'm happy then one day they will definitely accept me & my life partner.

Actually everything happens in our life is prearranged. We all are like the poppet and dance on the fingertips of the God. Love is also consequences of the big Drama of the great director. And the director is the God. Before falling in love lovers are also unknown to each other. And in the arrange marriage also people can love each other. I am not against the love marriage but I think that arrange marriage is also not bad. There is bad effect of the love marriage also. If we fall in love and then find that we are not able to continue life long relation then? So it is best to accept all those that is coming to us .

Hello friend, why you think that arrange marriage not good. I'm from India our culture is arrange marriage and I feel that successful marriage depends on your feeling not depends on love marriage or arrange marriage. my mom dad has also done arrange marriage but they understand and care for each other. The parent are the one looking for someone to marry their children how can you say this is selfishness. Our parents never think bad about us because they love us. if you will do love marriage and your husband cheat's you then your parents will never cheat you.

Yap, I'm favor of arranged marriage i believe that In arrange marriage the couple remain more happy than love marriage. The parents has full rights to seek someone to marry with their child. They are the parents every thing they do for their happiness of their child. Parents know better what is good or bad. I strongly in the favor of arranged marriage.

I am not in favor of the arranged marriage, too. That is because you have to marry the one you love, rather than the one who others love. This is your own marriage and you are the one who make the decision. If you don't love this person, how can you marry him/her and I am afraid you will not feel happy in your rest life. I love China

To be honest, my parents had an arranged marriage.Personally though, i feel times have changed

No I'm definitely not in favor of arranged marriages because its hard enough to make a chosen un-arranged marriage work, let alone a marriage that is arranged by someone else. I've said this before I believe that no one has the right to choose or tell a person who to love or marry its dificult enough without being made to marry, and I think people should always be able to make there own decisions about marriage, and I'm very thankful that I have the freedom to choose who I want to be with and or marry. meaning no disrespect to those cultures who still have arranged marital tradition's I'm just saying that I dont believe in it.

Arranged marriage is stupid. Where is the love in that? It is a selfish act for the parents to do this to their children. Well if you have butt ugly kids it may be advantageous to you to ensure them that they will get married someday.

I certainly disagree of arrange marriage. This is my own life and will handle it on my own in the future.Whomever I want to spend my life with I am who will decide for it.Whatever circumstances I will be facing in the future with my chosen partner it is us who will decide for it. I also think that every culture like Chinese or Indians prefer arrange marriage for their security of which we should respect.

i for one used to believe love marriage is the best but after few experience i feel arranged marriage is the best bet . Parents always make a good choice and i have started believing in that concept . U can start new innings and start loving ur partner after marriage cheers

i got marriage is depend on my mind ,and my family is not agree,these years pass , i must say ,the marriage is more complex than i con think abou before,a simple marriage get so many people to be a big family ,if they dont like each other,the life way ,so sometimes the marriage must be a cool mind ,your parents maybe is right,love will not hot anymore,and several year go your husband or wife will be a stranger man and woman ,they are not the one you imagine the perfet one

No, we have free will, and that's one of the most wonderful things god has given us. With the arranged marriage, you won't be able take advantage of it. I know there are cultures that has that rule, but you know, marriage is more wonderful if you share it with the person you really love. Vice versa.

Thank you rapolu_cs

For me, arranged marriage sucks. SOrry for the word but I am not in favor of arranged marriage. Marriage is sacred and we must respect it. We should not be playing if we are talking about love..

I am partially in agree with the arranged marriages,as I have seen many successful arrange marriages in my surrounding.Though most of them are old aged couples. However,I don't believe that love will be developed later after marriage,if the mentality of two people are completely different.. It becomes very tough to get married to someone whom you don't love. The reason why we get married is because we are deeply in love. It is very important to know the person better before you are going to marry as it will be for life. If the guardian are very dominating,then its better to opt for arranged and then love marriage....

I agree with you. I also don't favor arranged marriages. For me, arranged marriages is so old-school. It should belong to the past already. In these modern times, there is more democracy and freedom. This includes freedom to choose who you want to spend the rest of your life with. Marriage is important. With this, you should be able to choose the person you want to grow old with and not your parents. Your parents are not the ones who are spending the rest of their lives with the guy.

I am a person who always follows my heart.I have lived this way, got hurt so many times for being this way, was happy sometimes being this way..no regrets at all. Cause i can't imagine myself hugging or kissing somebody that i dont realy love. Even if u have all the luxuries in life , when your heart is empty, everything is useless and worthless. But if you're living with someone u love and loves u too, a shanty would be a mansion for you, and a small fish would taste roast beef. (^_^)

Getting married is a very major decision in a person's life and this should not be dictated by other people.. Marriage is sacred and should be consummated by two adults who love each other completely. This should not be forced to anyone, for any reason at all..
