What is your opinion of arranged marriages?

Parents are experienced in life. To follow their advice is very important, but parents often ignore emotional element of youngsters in marriage and their improper methods of balancing life and marriage sometimes turns things from positive to the negative way. I think communication is a good way between parents and youngsters.So I don't think arranged marriage is bad esp.for those who shy in dating.

i dont believe in arranged marriages. i know that it is custom in some cultures and i will respect that. but to me an arranged marriage can not be that happy till the end. an arranged marriage is someone putting you with someone THEY think is right for you and living out their dreams threw another individual. i say getting to know someone on your own then deciding to get married should be completely up to the couple. love trust and honest are three of the most important things in a marriage. how can you have that if two people are just throwed together and have hardly anything in common?

I think arranged marriages can be good but they can fail miserably too. This is much the same as love marriages.

That was very crucial to the success of a marriage. Lovers have the sole right to choose whom they gonna spend the rest of their lives with, no matter what it should not be influence by others. Although we may have some arrange marriages in history, still it doesn't sound too easy for any person to make his/her bow before God going into this fixed marriage. I am completely in contrary to this tradition which definitely shutting your freedom, my freedom and everybody's freedom about love...

In the present scenario, love marriage is becoming more prevalent in the society. But, if you talk about arrange marriage, its still a good choice as love starts after marriage. I am also in favour of arrange marriage...

In fact there're still many arranged marriages in my hometown.But when they grow up they may remove their promise easily.Arranged marriage is the result of the previous generation.They may get on well with each other and they hope their children can go on this relationship.Of course it is unreasonable.And everybody has realised this.Now it becomes fewer and fewer.

this is wrong unless your into the person your going to marry but if you want to arrange a marriage with me i wont object lol
