I would say love marriage because you are picking who you want to be with forever but then again people who have arranged marriages some of them stay together forever also. I think it would be hard to fall in love with someone your parents picked out for you. I guess it just depends on the person and their feelings. I don't know what I would do if I had an arranged marriage.

Some people think arranged marriages are better because, if they have a higher status, money, in life they compliment each other. I think it is better if you marry for love, love conquers all.

this was a predominant case in the accient Africa, when your parents at the hometown will (in their best knowledge and perceptions) go round town; combing every nook and cranny searching for MRS RIGHT for their son(s) and then invite the youngman home to present hime with their 'life gift',which (in the best of their knowledge) - should be the perfect match for him as a 'life partner' . As he don't have to go through the throe of such homework.
What the both to-be couples feel about the whole idea doesn't really matter ; love/compatibility is not an essence then nor a criteria for marriage then . But all that has changed now , and quit a lot of other inproper deeds of our forefathers ...follow ur heart ladies and gents - is time to grow up !!!

Both have its own merits.Love marriage with the consent of family would be the best method to marry.
If you ask my personal opinion ,i would love to know my wife for 6 months atleast bfor marriage.

I cannot imagine being in an arranged marriage. If I can't marry for love, then it simply isn't worth it to me. When it's arranged, how do you know if you're even compatible with one another, or if you have the same interests? Granted, if it was an arranged marriage, you would know them better in time, but what if after the time you found you could not stand that person, their morals, or how they treat you? I don't know that much about arranged marriages in other cultures, but in the USA, someone who did that would probably be considered a controlling parent. We should be allowed to go with OUR hearts, and marry the one WE love, I couldn't marry somebody that was somebody elses choice for me.
