Parents, do you believe in arranged marriages?

Question

Would you ever do that for your son or daughter? If you're against them, please give reason as to why you are.

Answer 1

WRONG!!! my first marriage was not about love we were friends that got married for several reasons,and he was a really great man my family loved him,not me..we divorced.. it was 10 years of a dead heart...I met the love of my life after that and its the most amazing thing in the world to truly love and be loved...That you must find on your own...........I would never want my daughter to not have this amazing feeling!!!

Answer 2

I don't think anyone should be told who they can and can't marry. You need to marry who you want.

But saying that the countries that have arranged marriages are a much less divorce rate than countries that don't. Go figure

Answer 3

Never. Why would you make your child marry someone they don't even care for? They will be miserable. Let them choose on their own even if you don't agree with their choice. It's not you who has to like the spouse but your child.

Answer 4

Aren't countries that have arranged marriages, countries that mainly don't believe in many womens rights.

So the reason there is a less of a divorce rate is because if the women leaves.....she's got absolutely nothing?

I'm not sure if i'm wrong, but that could be why the divorce rate is less.

I think in love you have to make mistakes to find someone you love. I dont agree in arranged marriages .

Answer 5

In some cultures, arranged marriages happen every day, and a lot of times the pair are very happy together. Americans need to be more open-minded when discussing the traditions of other cultures. If you think it is wrong, then simply don't do it. But don't complain either when your child brings home someone you don't care for.
