Have you seen this movie?

Question

I just rented it yesterday...it's called Arranged. It's about two ladies, one Muslim and one is an Orthodox Jew. They become friends because they are both going through the same thing; their marriages are being arranged for them by their parents.

Have you seen this movie? Do you like it? I thought it was a nice movie.

Also, are all Muslim marriages arranged?

Thank you in advance for the answers

Answer 1

I haven't seen the movie, but it sounds really interesting. And no, not all marriages in Islam are arranged. And if they are, it's not done against the lady's will. If she refuses, it cannot be done. In most situations, a man will find a suitable spouse. He will talk to the friends of the girl to see if she is interested, and if he is interested. Then, the man goes to the house of the lady's parents, and asks permission to marry the daughter. The final decision is up to the lady. If she says no, than it can't happen. If she says yes, than it happens. And if the parents say no, the lady can still get married to that man, but she should take her parents' word very seriously.

Answer 2

I have not seen the moive, to your question: It is OK to have  arranged marriages by suggestion and recommendation as long as both parties are agreeable this is One of the conditions of a valid marriage is consent of the couple. The other arranged marriage is when parents choose the future spouse and the couple concerned are forced or have no choice in the matter.  WHICH IS WRONG we are not supposed to force anyone, this is indeed culture.

Answer 3

No i haven't see that movie. And yes muslim marriages are arranged, but they are upon the consent of both of bride and groom and their parents. So if anyone of them disagree, the marriage won't take place.

Answer 4

Yes, I saw it and it was boring.

Answer 5

no i haven't seen the movie.

in Islam marriages are NOT arranged or forced, those are just traditions mistaken for religion.

in Islam both woman and men get to CHOSE or ACCEPT their life partners.

dating however does not exist in Islam, if a person likes another person, he/she asks (the family) for marriage.

the Prophet's wife Khadija have CHOSEN him for a husband, and was actually the one who initiated/asked for the marriage.

Answer 6

I haven't seen the movie... but

Arranged marriage isn't same as forced marriage.

Arranged simply means, instead of the people going looking for spouse on their own, their guardian looks for the spouse. If no Muslim guardian there then others would help her in doing so.  When they find good prospects, the man and the woman looking for spouse talk, or find out about each other to agree or disagree in marriage.  And it goes on until someone suitable or a good match is found.

The meaning of arranged has been changed by many cultures and often it becomes somewhat of forced marriage and that isn't allowed in Islaam.

Also if someone liked someone and wished to marry, they may still do so under Islaamic rulings, but still takes the same process of the women's guardian's approval etc.

Also many Muslims don't follow Islaam properly and they do as they wish.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Who would waste money watching that sort of film.

Seems dull no offense.

Not all Muslims marriages are arranged. But it is traditional in South Asian countries. Did you get that assumption form movie? Because I wondered why you never asked do all Jews have their marriages arranged.

Answer 10

I would like to see the movie cuz i'm totally AGAINST arranged marriages,

Even though like 5 of my friends got married right after high school and were all arragned marriage.

Answer 11

no. have you seen the dark knight. its great! OMG

Answer 12

I've not seen this movie. However, the majority of Muslim marriages are arranged, sadly some are forced. Arranged marriages are allowed in Islam but are not required. Whereas "forced" marriages, usually stemming from cultural practice, are forbidden.

A lot of the westerners often confuse the term 'arranged marriage' arranged marriages are completely different from forced marriages…arranged marriages is consent from both spouses. I'm sure the movie is quite controversial? What exactly do they show a 'forced marriage' or an 'arranged marriage?'

Answer 14

no i haven't seen the movie but it sounds interesting!

not really but i would prefer parents arranging marriages.

Answer 15

Arranged marriages have been proven by scientists to last longer, then where you let the kids pick their own spouses.  Also most marriages end in divorce within 1-2 years of their marriage.  In the USA women initiate divorce more then men over stupid reasons.  This breaks up the family unit and destroys the safety for the children.  Arranged marriages are also happier then love marriages.  Not all Muslim marriages are arranged.  However the parents of the man and of the woman can choose life long mates for their children, and the children should take into consideration their parent's decision before choosing their own partner.  It ultimatly is up to the two kids if they consent to the marriage.
