What do you think about "arranged" marriages and "forced" marriages?

Question

I think it's totally unacceptable, but that's just me. I think let ppl find their own mate :)

Answer 1

I think if it is a religon and the people who are arranged are part of the religon, go ahead. The people of coarse should have a desicion but if it is a tradition or religion its not like its bad

Answer 2

absolutely right. have a star.

Answer 3

i don't think its right but i would say an "arranged"marriage may not be as bad as a "forced" marriage,

I know a few people that have had there marriages have been "arranged" but it been with someone they have known for years that are the same age as them.

"forced" i would ban full stop

Answer 4

I think it's against human rights.

The right to make a free decision.

I can not believe ppl accept this. ignoring their feelings and thoughts.

I think the UN should make it illegal

Answer 5

My opinion of forced Marriages is that this is nothing better  than slavery.

Arranged marriages are perhaps not quite as bad,none the less, A lot of young Wives don't really have a say in this. But this is the Religion or whatever they call it,So let's be Thankful that we do have the freedom of choice.

Answer 6

They are two different things. An "arranged" marriage is fine provided both parties are adult and agree to the arrangement. By definition, a "forced" marriage would always be wrong.

Answer 7

I agree with you.i picked my hubby been married 36 years.

Answer 8

yes but that's how it is ...we are not muslims that's how they live its not for us to say

Answer 9

you can't choose who you fall in love with so if you don't mind marriage without love then its fine

Answer 10

i think i will pick my own winch.arranged s*x would be cool no strings of course,hahahahaha! u know a casual hotel encounter yeee haw! the american royal rodeo in private.

Answer 11

both are very lucrative

Answer 12

i agree with you but not all of us...

for example a girl picks a lazy and a boy that always drinks that is uncontrollable  to be his husband, no parent will agree on that situation right? some of arrange marriages have reasons why their parents did that to them... it's for their own good... but it's very rude to force them if they want to marry that kind of man, its their choice the regret is at the end...

Answer 13

i think forced is very wrong, when on hols we have seen old men with very young wives, its disgusting, if it happened here you would be classed as a peodo and thrown in jail

Answer 14

Think about it...

If you have a guaranteed wife, she has to do cooking, cleaning everything you dont want to. AND!! AND!! she has no choice in it because its a forced marriage.

Then you are free to play around with other women and basically live a batchelor lifestyle.

Answer 15

Arranged marriages are fine if everyone is in agreement.

Forced marriages are unnacceptable and an issue of huma rights. No person should ever be forced to marry someone against their will.

I think if my parents had suggested people for me to date, although I would never have taken their advice, they would have definatly done a better job at picking men than me. I always went for bab boy types who messed me around, when actually what I needed was a solid reliable man which I'm sure they would have chosen.
