don't worry, you did the right thing by refusing. marriage for our kids is something they should decide for themselves, not us. anything can happen in the future. if you had agreed with that man, and in the future, your daughter had fallen in love with someone else, then it wouldn't have been pleasant.
although, in this age, i think that man shouldn't have been so serious but still, you did well in refusing. we never know what's in one's heart and mind.

married with your boss??
are you and your husband brave say no to your boss??
just convince your husband boss that your daughter is too child for being a wife and of course it`s impossible for taking care her husband while she is still need enjoying her life (like you said)..
but maybe you should consider your husband boss maybe kidding..Don`t take it seriously...

First I would have been upset and told him don't talk to my daughter about marriage she is a child and secondly no. Where I live in the world we the parents do not pick our children partners nor would I ever want to choice for my daughter a man to marry. I want her to marry who she loves and who she wants to be just like I did. I choice my husband and I wanted to marry him just as much as he wanted to marry me. Not even for my own son would I pick someone for him either.

Oh my god. I wouldn't accept it... well, I live in a liberalised environment, so I'd never marry someone who I don't love and can't even imagine being in an arranged marriage. If it was a joke, he would and should have cleared up, especially as I think your expression told him all about your feelings about the situation. Don't arrange the marriage for your kid, you have other options. You should bear in mind that your daughter should have a choice and should live and have fun and make her own decisions.... son't be afraid of the boss, your daughter's life and happiness is worth more.

Hi marketing07, you did the right thing by answering NO to him because your daughter is too young for that kind of arrangement and if i have a daughter too i will not allow anybody to do an arrange married to her even if she already at the right age. I think much better if we let our daughter to decide regarding this sensitive matter and let them choose or find the right man for them.

Your daughter is a very beautiful little girl! As for your husband's boss, I think he is crazy. I know that in some places arranged marriages are acceptable. I do not believe in arranged marriages. Everyone should have the freedom to make that decision on their own. It's too bad he is your husband's boss because he could cause problems for your husband at work. If I were your husband I'd start looking for another job. And you were right to say no. Emphatically no. I think it is terrible what the boss suggested. I also think his idea is horrible and that he will try to force your husband to agree on the marriage. You should be very careful around this person. He sounds very sneaky to me.

I don't agree and believe in arrange marriage. I believe in every right of a child if in proper age and right person that have chosen. I can't find a reason why parents have to resort to this type of marriage when as if freedom of child are being suppressed . Let them decide whom to be the partner in their life , just be there as a guide only.
