I prefer arranged marriage. Some think that arrange marriage is more stronger bond than love which most of the time it is based on infatuation. Many harbour a preconceived notion that arranged marriages are wrong. It is expressed by many in society, that the idea of arranged marriages is, in fact, a denial of rights and freedom to the concerned parties. The fact that the whole marriage process is not entirely up to the children getting married is appalling to many, as they believe that children should have complete freedom in choosing who they want to spend the rest of their lives with. On the other hand, there are those who are entirely in support of arranged marriages. They, in turn, do not agree with the "western" idea of love marriages, whereby the children socialize, mingle, and after months or even years of on-and-off relationships, decide who they want to exchange their vows with. Therefore, one can see that though both types are marriages, there are vast differences among the two. It becomes difficult therefore to predict the ideal sort of marriage. So ultimately it is up to the individual to decide whether he wants to have a love or an arranged marriage after all it is a question of being happy in love. It is also important to make a clear distinction between arranged marriages that are consensual and marriages that are arranged without the consent of the individuals involved. A marriage should be entered into with the free and full consent of both parties. You have the right to legal protection. An arranged marriage and a love marriage can be contrasted when one scrutinizes mate selection, the idea of intimacy and courtship, and the beauty among of both marriages. In fact, either arranged or love marriage everything depends on understanding of each other than blaming on some one else. Source: http://nation.ittefaq.com/artman/exec/view.cgi/30/18526
