Well i think it is ok for those who want to do it .. they respect there parents enough to make that disicion for them .. on the other hand if a man or a woman wants to marry the one they love the parents also should respect that .. i am in love with an indian man and he may have to do the arranged marriage thing if his parents dont agree to me ....which i dont think will happen since i am white american and am elder to him, i wish that the indian culture was different and the ppl could make there own disicions ...the parents need to let the sons and daughters grow up and be there own person...

In answer to your question I would have to say Maybe. If I lived in a culture where that was the norm I would know no other way. So perhaps I can say I might do that. I think that sometimes an arranged marriage can work and love can happen for the couple at least I give it a 50/50 chance which is all you get with marrying for love.

I understand that there are religions and cultures that believe in that. But I am totally against it. Where is the love in that. Why would I want to marry someone whom I dont know or much less love. There is no relationship prior to the marriage, and I think that having a relationship leads to love and then marriage. Those people do it all backwards, marriage, relationship then maybe love in the end.

There is no harm in arranged marriage if after meeting u find the person is of the nature u would love to live with.
There is some family bond also, so better..

I wouldn't marry anyone, arranged or not. I think arranged marriage is more acceptable in cultures that don't value women's rights, i.e. Saudi, as much as Western cultures do.

well my parents want me to be arranged married in couple of years and I hate the idea of it. I mean how can you marry someone you dont even know.

I think you must know the other person before marrying. Arranged marriage is like blind gambling. while love marriage is you get to see your cards and gamble.

No, I didn´t marry the man who has been arranged for me... I married the one I loved!
I turned my back on my family and went abroad.
I found somebody who loves me, respects me and makes me happy...
My family went mad. They didn´t talk with me for a long time.
Now my family is on my side again and they not only accepted my choice - they adore my husband.
This happened more than 10 years ago.
You should make your own choice and not worry too much about family traditions.
Normally parents and family members love you and will forget and "forgive"...

I would never do it - I'm an educated professional and would rather make my own decisions about the man I'm going to marry.
