Do you agree with arranged marriages?
Would you agree with sending your daughter off to marry a man she doesn’t know, to spend the rest of her life with a man who may or may not treat her well? Would you make her leave her family, her home, against her will, to make a new life with a new husband and family that she has never met?
It seems most people in western civilization balk at this type of practice, but really, how is adoption much different? We are taking our children from their families and making them go live with strangers who may or may not treat them well, against their will, to make a new life with a new family that they have never met. Usually infants have even less power because they are unable to verbalize, whereas in an arranged marriage, at least the woman in question would be able to speak her opinion and object (if she had that option). Infants don’t have that luxury.
