Love Marriage Or Arranged Marriage

December 3, 2015 5:39am CST
It is said, "A KNOWN DEVIL IS BETTER THAN UNKNOWN GHOST". According to me nothing depends on love marriage and arrange marriage, it actually depends on a particular person whom we are marrying. There are many cases where not only love marriage fails but even arrange marriage too. If we consider or support love marriage, it is but obvious that there is no support from our parents end. But, there is a kind of understanding between the two persons who undergoes this kind of marriage, and hence, this sometimes leads to a happy and a successful married life. ' If we consider or support arrange marriage, "DOWRY system is the thing which is still going on and this makes a burden to our parents. And, in some cities or countries, arrange marriage has become a tradition and a rule which one has to follow, since our ancestors also followed it. So guys, I would like to know your opinion about love marriage and arrange marriage, and also what type of marriage you all support. Thank You.

I am in favour of arranged marriages.All marriages in my family are arranged marriages.I,however,think,what matters is the way you live your married life.It is up to us to make a marriage successful or a disaster.

I agree. But in some families, the people get so inquisitive in ones conversation, that they want to interfere in their matter, making a small issue a big one. This usually happens in arrange marriages. I prefer love marriage which has been arranged.

@wasif123ster success of a marriage depends on the couple itself. if one's marriages fails then his/her family or others will not be responsible for failure. husband and wife both needs to support and have faith on one another. Ups and downs are part of life. every couple has go through testing times once in life, in those times both needs to take care of one another.

If all families were ok to arrange love marriage, then I believe all marriages will be successful. But there is always a barrier in every marriage, and that is "the dowry system".

I'm single, and it seems like the only way I'll get married is if it's arranged (see my 'Lamentation'). I also think arranged marriage is best because a) the purpose of marriage is 'to have a life-partner to support you in fulfilling your God/Allah/Odin/Jupiter/Krishna/FSM-given purpose' and thus b) the quality of the relationship is not dependent upon 'how you two feel about each other' (listen to Kenny Rogers' & Dolly Parton's "Islands in the Stream") as much as it's -dependent upon 'your- & their willingness-to-change (for purposes of 'contributing to the world-at-large').'
