What do you think about increased divorces recent days?

I think that people get divorced because they change a lot, in time. Also, there is the possibility that they do not know each other very well before marriage, and after that they realize that they do not match anymore. I don't know if arranged marriages are better, because I think that people stay in those marriages just because they have to, not because they want to. I think that they do not have the courage to speak up and say what they truly want.

I would have ran away from home if anyone said I was going to have an arranged marriage! For some it works, and for others no. I was married at 19 and divorced by 22. Yes the divorce rate is much higher... Maybe thats because women realize now we are not slaves in the home, unless you are still living in a country that that's the way of life. Plus no one want's to live in an unhappy marriage... That does more harm then good...

I am not quite sure about it. But I personally think that the love marriage shall last for a longer time. Because you marry to someone who you love, rather than your parents love. As to the increasing divorce, there can be many reasons. Perhaps today more and more women have their own careers, so it leads to a problem to handle the family issues. And today women are much more independent and women no longer have to obey to bad husbands. I love China

I am not quite familiar with India's culture regarding marriage but I believe that everyone should have the right to choose their partner and that a couple should marry each other not because of anything else but because they love each other. The divorce rates continuous to increase for the past years. There are so many reasons why married couples file for divorce like incompatibility, financial issues, infidelity and sometimes, they just fall out of love. Without love, I think that it would be very hard to keep our vows. As for the case of arranged marriage, at the very beginning, they are married not because of love I believe. They have considered other things like their families and financial matters. I find it dangerous because it is hard to live with someone whom you do not love. But I agree with your observation that many arranged marriages survive maybe because it is harder for them to give up the marriage and not their partners. From the very start they are there not because of love so there is no way that they will fall out of love. Another reason is out of fear. They fear that if they leave their partners, their parents, who probably arranged their marriage would be very disappointed and would be mad at them. Well, I can only see arranged marriages in movies and televisions and have read stories like that in books. Many of them did not lasts because when the person whom they would love arrived, they commit infidelity and soon will leave their husbands and wives.

arrange marriages only take place in small cities and villages the main reason is that the girls are not that open so no or very little interaction with guys.love marriage is more logical then arrange. western influence is getting stronger in india that's the only reason i can think of. cheers and thank you,
