Marriage system - your opinion?

The idea of marriage is totally rigged. It is more of the taxes and easier for children and such. I like the idea of bonding with someone, having a ceremony that binds you two together, but if two people do not want to get married but live like they are married, have kids, without having sign a paper, that is okay too.

I think every country have their own traditions and concepts regarding marriage.

I don't like the idea of going to live with her in-laws when a girl marries. She and her husband should have their own home.

@smileyhema Whatever makes a couple happy. Is all I can say but I don't believe a wedding, a ring, or a signed piece of paper proves anything.

Probably it is very hard to get into a rigid solution. Atleast I hope the boy and girl has the free will to choose their partner and live wherever they want inspite of their customs and traditions

marriage means not that going to live with inlaws. couple can live themselves if they want. if they can take care of parents and live with them thats even better . And if one dont want to live with parents purposefully , then they should show the courage to neglect the inherited wealth.

It is different in different countries. I think it is wrong to be expected to leave your own family and become part of another. Marriage should be a joining of two families, not taking one person away from everything they know. I plan to marry my partner. Neither of us has been bothered about marriage before but there are reasons both emotional and practical for doing so. For us, in the UK, all that I'll have taken from me is my last name but even then, I don't have to change it but will do because I want to.

well, personally....in my opinion.....marriage is just a way to start new beginning with new people.....and this is completely only for girls in our country.....because they have to forget their parents, friends and adopt his parents and friends....boy doesn't has to sacrifice anything..... in older times as well.....people came to cities with their wives from villages for earning money....and they completely forget about their parents.....but now those same people wants that their son and his wife stay with them. this is what happens....this is completely wrong....what they didn't done they are expecting from new generation..... they take dowry from girl family....and what they are doing....they are treating her like she is their servant.....she is not allowed to do what she really want.....she has already done so many sacrifices from day one..... wake up!!!! by the way....I am hema too....

I think it is very different here. Most people, male and female, are living away from their parents. I left home at 18 & got married at 33, lived alone until marriage.

So what did you want.if you want to stay with your parents find a guy who become ready to live with your family.

I hate the idea as well but nowadays even though we are being sent to a different home, we dont stay like in a joint family. So the idea is pretty okay and acceptable now.
