I notice that most wealthy chinese families with huge business and properties are the one's implementing such an arriage marriage to their daugthers and sons. If you were in that situation would you follow your parents or your heart?

No, I don't. I am actually strongly against this. Not just in Chinese families but also in Indian families, arranged marriage is a tradition and I am against this. If my parents were like that, I'm sorry to fail them. I will not marry anyone whom I don't love.

I will follow my heart no matter what the outcome will be. I won't let anybody dictate what my heart and mind is saying.It's not my parents who will get married and get tied with the guy after all. Fortunately my parents let us decide on whom we will marry.

I would not want anyone else to say who I should be with the rest of my life. You take your chances either way. Sometimes arranged marrages work sometimes they don't. Sometimes a marriage with someone you pick works out and some don't.

i would most definately follow my heart. i mean, i was in a sort of similar situation when i was dating my husband but alot of my family didnt think he was right for me. but eventally we did get married anyway and my family was there to support me. now him and my family are getting along great.

An arranged marriage is a matter of choice and respect. Some do work out to be marriages that endure and last. Families throughout the years have relied on arrnaged marriages. it is a social symbol and a way of ritual for many. Royalty has regarded arranged marriages throughout the centuries. An arranged marriage may start out to be something awkward and unusual but it can be a beautiful union.

This is like part of their culture and they are already used to it. In my case, as I am not a Chinese, I think I won't agree with arranged marriage. I am also interested in witnessing an arranged marriage but I don't want it to happen to me.

hello, Yeah, I also heard about that, that the Chinese are the one implementing until now the arrange marriage. Actually, I dont agree to this matter because I have my own heart and my own life. So, I have only the one will choose who will I love and not them because they are just my parents because in this matter they are just selling their daughter to those business man to success their business at the same time.right?
