If you grow up in that culture, and your future spouse does, frequently you will have the same value set. This gives you a better base than many marriages today.
Is it harder -- sometimes. Is it easier -- sometimes.
I didn't grow up in that type of culture, but I personally feel that it will work if both parties respect each other (they already hopefully respect each others belief) and are willing to give 100% effort.
It won't be easy, but then marriage to someone who you love isn't easy either -- look at the divorce rates across the world!

I don't think you really know anyone until you have been married to them. Most couples get to know each other truly after the marriage.
I would agree to an arranged marriage if I thought the man was attractive and we got along.
I think the pro's and con's are about the same for either an arranged marriage or a love match. Either way, you have a chance to end up miserable or you can work to be happy.

Pre-arranged/Matchmake marriages worked for both sets of my grandparents. They develope love after marriage and stay true to each other until death do them apart. I guess it is how you view the idea of this kind of marriages. I honestly think it can work if you are anyway not already attached to someone or in love with another. Hence, easier to simply accept being matched.

I don't see where any feelings would be allowed to develope in an arranged marriage & see it as too easy to take someone for granted with this arrangement

Its hard enough to have a good relationship with someone you know! I have no idea how arranged marriages could work, but almost a billion people in India,makes me wonder.

I would not consider a prearranged marriage, and by the way I do not see any thing positive about this type of marriage.

NO, BAD ENOUGH WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE AND GET TO KNOW THEM FOR YOURSELF YOU STILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET.
