I believe not...certain cultures frown on divorce. They believe that you make a marriage work even if your spouse is a big fat idiot.

In India over 90% of all marriages are traditionally arranged even though the population has exposure to world media and the allure of love marriage with a divorce rate of under 5 % for all marriages
love and arranged. Some countries with a penchant for love marriages have a divorce rate of over 50 %. These figures are easy to confirm by going to the governmental websites of the countries being compared. Like the yanks like to say "Different Strokes for Different Folks." The Indians sure are different :)

Well, if you find someone you love, then that would be the obvious choice. But with an arranged marriage, people usually grow to love each other. Take a look at how it worked out for the people in your family. I think arranged is not the worst idea because you have a lifetime of getting to know the person and you will always be surprised by something. If you go in knowing someone, you run the risk of running out of things to say. But that could happen in either scenario. I think it comes down to what you want to do. Follow tradition, or try a new path. Do what feels best to you.

The whole world knows that in India arranged marriages are successful than love marriages.

It depends on what you mean by arranged marriage. Usually the girl and guy will meet first for a couple of times may be. There is no proof that it is better. I think this because we don't know exactly how many people are living in a happy relationship.

Yesteryears, YES. In general, the arranged marriages in India proved much better.
It is not so in this modern and fast world.
In both the arranged and love marriages problems are equal. They are due to poor handling of life situations after marriage.
In my observations and opinion, ego problems between the two, lack of patience to analyse things coolly and too much of demanding on both the sides with no synchronisation are the common ailments.

The answer must be based on each individual's choice and definition of what is a "successful" marriage. I think the divorce statistics are very misleading and I've seen first hand why people do and don't divorce. If you live in a culture where divorce is viewed as shameful on your family, and it's expensive and not accessible..then of course you will stick it out and put up with who knows what. If you live in a society where divorce is not viewed upon as harshly..then people will not be ashamed to end their marriage.
To each their own, who are we to judge after all?

Love marriage is always good.Once you know that it is so easy to fall in love you can get married and divorce any time and as many times you want.Moreover you can not blame any body for your disastrous married life.Extra marital affairs are allowed even at work places because it is very easy to fall in love for one night stand once a while.Love marriage is great.

Not necessarily. Arranged marriages have worked for some and for some it has been a fiasco. I have seen love marriages work and fail too.The institution of marriage is perceived differently in different cultures and both have their pros and cons.

76% of Indian college students say they'd marry a person with all the right qualities even if they weren't in love. Marriages like that can work, but I don't think anyone should be forced into a relationship.

I think that it depends on your views. A lot of people agree that love is something that you aquire after years of companionship. Others believe that you are the only one that can determine who is right for you and to chose which person you want to marry. So although some people see it as a negative thing. Others see it as a way to help gain a trusting and accountable partner because all of the relatives have agreed on the one individual.
