Like what I mentioned in another thread of something like this - 'arranged marriage' is something beyond my comprehension. How can you marry a stranger? Your freedom to choose your partner is completely suppressed!

On the other hand, I'm fascinated with arranged marriages that last.


well you gonna marry a stranger evenually right....the other person is someone you would know but you dont know him completely....when you marry him, you will find out stuff you didnt know about him because you are closer than before ;).....am i right?

no no no....me have to wear a suit to work is called suppressed ;) :lol: :lol: .......haha
but for me, i have it different. I will choose my wife and nobody will tell force me to marry anybody....if i m engaged to somebody and i feel that she is not good for me...i will not marry her.

My father and mother did not know anything about each other before they got married.....but they are still together now for years now. There were problems when they were together but they still managed to live together happily......No Pain No Gain...

I know that sage&onion will back me up with this.....he has the most experience than all of us ;)

Both arranged and non-arranged have their pros and cons. I wonder what the odds are off divorce in both cases. I would dare to say they are probably equal.

The one thing about the arranged introduction/marriage situation that is beneficial is that it saves the hassle of having to sift through the rif raf of men/women that are just looking for a good time. If a man/woman is seriously looking to settle down he or she can have their parents approach someone who is interested in the same and then get to know that person's personality before settling down with them.

Forced arranged marriages are selfish on the part of the parents who want to see their offspring married. An arranged marriage should be an option, not an obligation.

This is always been a hot topic! I can only say, it depends on what you think about it. This is an open issue.
