Marriage decided by parents

Some cultures in our country still consider arranged marriage since they say that parents know best. But for me, I am totally against it. You can never teach the heart to love someone. It's just either you fall in love or not. You would be lucky enough if the person you were arranged to be married to is the same person you fell in love with. But such cases are very seldom to happen. I'm against it. I'm the one who's going to live and be with my husband for the rest of my life and I want it to be the person I love.

arranged marriage? it pays to ask for elders' opinions. they'd been there but in the end it is your call.

it is not in our culture that parents will choose the person we will marry but my father and mother was insisting me this one lady. that lady likes me very much and they want me or forcing me to like her as well. we had a lot of fight regarding this for i already found the person who i will marry. now i am married for 7 years now and i choose the one i love and not my parents choice. after all i will be the one living with that person and so i rather go with my choice.

My two sisters had an arranged marriage, one has three kids and the other has two, they have been together for twelfth and seven years consecutively. However I prefer to be loving someone first before getting married to him as I can know him very well too.

you could try being with a few girls before you get married, or. .. ¬¬ . .get a divorce after 6 months.

for me you should decide for yourself. but be careful in deciding because maybe that decision would ruin and make you unhappy or it may also lead to your success and happiness in life. make a decision that you think you would not regret someday :)

Marrying a person should be a personal choice because you willl be the one who will be spending your lifetime with the person you're marrying. Your parents would not be with you all the time. However, there are some countries that still do this. But according to my friend, they still can decide if they want to marry the person that their parent choose for them.

Well seldom it is practice in my place already. I think we have come to the age were arranged marriages are not practice as before. I also think that it sould be the children who should decide for themselves already because they can when they reach a certain age already and we parents should stop deciding for our kids anymore.

I don't agree with this idea. Especially the arranged marriage. Though I know that parents have the great intentions for their kids. But I go with the natural way, falling in love and get married.

Who has the right to say who you will love and one day marry? You do! Only you should have this power and control of your life. Your parents should be there to guide your decisions. When it comes to the heart, you should be the one to make the decisions.

Some cultures still practice that but others have already adopted the modern way of choosing one's lifetime mate. It can be a scary practice since we are not sure how the kid will turn out when he grows up.

Hmm sweet friend its like one can have one own choice then one will be happy more then your parents choose for yopu as then what may happen you will be at ease that it was my choice but if you can accept what parents choose for you and it may happen that it may e agreat blessing for you,but best would be if you have your own choice and get married to that person!!if the circumstances presist for your own choice then you should go for it!!or else you can firstly spent some time with the person selected by your parents and then get married!!in both ways best of luck friend!!!

Some it is give u a good relationship. In our cultuer maximum people follow this rule. In my culture marrige means not only a relationship with one girl and one boy. It is a relationship with two family.

I agree with you if you marry somebody that your mother or father or they both choose you dont get to have somebody that you truly love unless its a miracle. I think you should try meeting girls and if you truly like somebody and they the same then go ahead with it. Nobody should choose for you. Have the best of luck in finding the partner that is right for you. Rate this answer good or bad plz. Thanx P.S. I go this from personal experience

Hello! I think it is serious problem, but in some cultures it is like traditional. I think it is very popular in India or Indonesia not sure. Why your parents want decide for weddings in your instead. Does this girl is family friend or acquaintance? If my parents will decide weddings in my instead. I do not know what, I say. Where you live? It is interesting traditional, but usually parents kids do not like this traditional. Maybe talk to your parents about this problem. I hope all be well with you.

Sometimes parents can be about providing advice on how to get the bride brokers to obtain a better life

when you are a kid you did not have the courage to do things so you earn the help of your parents, and when you become older enough to take decisions why should you send your parents in trouble.believe in one thing that only your parents will be there to help you in difficulties.so you should keep them happy. dont marry any person who is not acceptable for your parents
