Do You Know What Arrange Marriages Are Like?

    If you do not know, then I will tell you. Because there are many women/girls out there who do not really have the exact rights to choose their future partner, yet they tend to form a mutual understanding relationship, over time. People who follow traditions/religion, usually the adults/parents are held responsible for the marriage. Love is a difficult phase in life, but when you are arranged, over time the love forms in the marriage,and that usually last forever... there are soo many reasons behind it.

    But for those who want to speak their mind... shall so, and express what they think feel and tell what they know about this. Because there are those girls out there who accept what is taught to them, unlike the many who are going through this painfull yet unexplainable feeling of love before their marriage. But some how they do find the one they want to spend their life with....

    So what do you all think about this?

    Basically, arranged marriages are a sign of somebody showing they're in control; hence why it happens in countries that are poor, and where men force their women to stay in all day and cover themselves up whenever they go out.

    "In a forced marriage, the parents choose their son's or daughter's future spouse with no input from them. In this rare form of arranged marriage, if the son or daughter refuses the choice, he or she may be punished, or in rare cases, killed. In most such cases, the marriage simply takes place anyway, overriding the bride's or bridegroom's objections. Motivating factors for such a marriage tend to be social or economic, i.e., the interests of the family or community that are served by the marriage are seen as paramount, and the will of the individual is insignificant."

    Yeah, maybe they learn to love each other, but surely you'd rather find your OWN 'made match in Heaven' than have it put before you without choice, mostly indicating they don't want you to have a life of freedom in who your partner is.

    "hence why it happens in countries that are poor, and where men force their women to stay in all day and cover themselves up whenever they go out."

    I'm very sorry but you are completely wrong on that note. Countries that are poor? Poverty has nothing to do with that, it has to deal with culture.
    When you say women are covered up, I'm guessing you're talking about the Middle East, but most of the countries in the Middle East, are not poor at all. They are very wealthy countries that have a great economy due to oil. However, culture, as well as politics, play the role of stripping them of their freedom of choice, not poverty.

    On another note..

    50% of marriages in North America end up in divorce. How many of those marriages are arranged? Very few.. How many arranged marriages last a life time, majority.

    You marry someone you think you love, or fall in love with someone you married. Which works better?.. Choosing love, or finding it?..

    It's your own opinion...
