Arranged Marriage?!?!

i think this is a very bad thing in our days... he just can say no that he is capable to choose his own wife... i think is a really stupid think... if i were him i would live my home and i would never speak to my mother again... i think he will be unhappy all his life... marriges are made because the parteners are loving each other not because their parents say so!

what was your cousin's reaction to his mom getting a wife for him? i think this is really so disrespectful. i mean, marriage should be something very private and should be something that two willing individuals decide on. i pity your cousin if he wont react anything about it.

oh that's so sad for him. i respect ppl who believes in arranged marriages but i still don't know how one can be happy in such mariage.i had a friend, she was 16 then and she was telling me that her parents were already looking for a husband in the future. all i know is she was really sad about it but she had no choice as it is in their belief and religion to do this.5 years later she got married and i could still feel her sadness. i knw she doesnt love her husband. i know how much she envy me for having my own choice when and who to marry.

I have heard of arranged marriages. My marriage isn't one of those though. I think all of us need to choose our own partners for marriage. I mean, how does your aunt know that they will be compatible for one another? I know alot of parents wish they could choose their sons or daughters husbands and wives. Alot of parents choose who they think they can get along with best, I think. The really dont seem to look out for the best interest of the person they are marrying off. I wander how many of those relationships end in divorce and how many of them stay in it for the long haul? Very interesting to find out.
