Details of one of my friend story One of my friend was in love when he was in school age at 11 Stranded, as per him It was good but unfortunately they both my friend and his beloved could not make it to marriage and she (his beloved) got marriage to some other person, although she love him and there is nothing wrong from both side. But this it true that they were not able to make their relationship a success. Now my friend is going for a arranged marriage, even he am very much happy with this also and informed his becoming wife about my priors relationship also. What all of u think of this and what your view about love or arrange marriage.

You should always marry the one you love..... Unless he/she is very, very old and rich and has one foot in the grave so you can get their $$.

Most love marriages fail and Most arranged marriages do not work. The solution is arranged love marriage. Let the boy and girl love each other and inform their parents about it and the parents shall arrange the marriage of the two. This seem to be some compromise towards retaining marriage as an institution.

i think its against human rights that parents force u to marry someone even when u love som1 else. a strict action shud be taken against such narrow minded parents.Society shud become open minded. to love is not a sin.its right of every human being to decide himself whom he/she wants to marry.

I appreciate the level of your thinking. But in my view then should be in just opposite direction first let the parent find a girl then love should begin. What you think?

Well, most marriages in the United States fail. That is why many people of this generation do not marry and simply live together. That way, if things do not work out, no nasty divorce proceedings needed. Just pack your stuff and leave!

I WILL PREFER ARRANGED MARRIAGE WITH THE GIRL I LOVE.I CANNOT MARRY A GIRL WHOM I DONT EVEN KNOW BECAUSE THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND MARRYING A GIRL WHOM I DONT KNOW IS I DONT THINK CORRECT.BECAUSE TO LIVE A GOOD AND HAPPY LIFE U SHOULD KNOW EACH OTHER AND UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.

Always embark upon one of the most important relationships you will have (besides with a child you influence)with LOVE. Love makes people grow, love is a light in the darkness, love believes when there seems to be no hope. Always marry because you love.

arranged marriage - arranged marriage
well sometimes we have to make decisions that may not seem logical to others.and sometimes we may even have to scarifice love for happiness.would you have your friend keep on pining away for this girl,dont you want him to move on withn his life? rankly arranged marriage sounds like a good idea.both the girl's side as wella s the groom's side have an idea of each other and now they have some time to get to know each other before they tie tyhe knot.that sounds like a good idea.whats more any an arranged marriage is like a formation of a friendship that soon develops into love so i wish your friwend the best of luck and congrats on his impending nupitals! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arranged_marriage http://www.equalitytoday.org/edition3/marriage.html http://www.english.emory.edu/Bahri/Arr.html

i will prefer arrange marrige as they are more sucessful in comparision to love marriage
• India
17 Dec 06
i dont think so though they r succesful n it is mostly in india because people feel that their status has been degraded if they divorce their wife and naturally they r living forciably without any love between them but this is not the case in every one

I know a number of people who have arranged marriages and it works really well for them. I think it's cultural whether or not that kind of thing will work for you. I grew up believing I didn't need a partner, so it would be really hard for me to be happy with somebody that I didn't chose myself. I got really lucky though, and met somebody I am really compatable with.

I was in a marriage that was for love, suposedly. I would be up for an arranged marrige, though, because the concept is that your parents and your intended's apretns know you, your social circle and your family traditions. I have known A LOT of arranged marriages that have turned out much more faithful and happy than those not arranaged.

marriage - marriage
Love marriages defines itself that u love a person who is already well known to u.It offer more independence and freedom as compared to arranged marriages where the girl/boy is chosen by the parents so there is pressure to conform to parental expectations.One of the usual questions against an arranged marriage is that how can you marry somebody you don't know. Knowing somebody before marriage allows partners to have better respect and understanding for each other's needs and desires. This way they are better adjusted in the marriage. Coming to arranged marriages,it says that u have to love a person who is strange 2 u.but ya arrabge marriage offer more protection, security to the women. There is not much pressure on the women to look like models. Parents employ maturity and wise judgment when choosing suitable spouses for their children. Sometimes it helps to rely on another person's opinion and experience when selecting one's partner especially when the people marrying are young and need guidance and advice in marrying a suitable person. It becomes difficult therefore to predict the ideal sort of marriage. So ultimately it is up to the individual to decide whether he wants to have a love or an arranged marriage after all it is a question of being happy in love.

i would prefer for the arranged marriage only
• Canada

As per my thinking i say...we should let the parents decide wat kind of a boy is good for us and den we have to get to know that person on a daily basis like a frnd and get close...then you realise if that person isright or wrong for you then the decision is right there.... I think so becuz if you treat that person as a friend you will know the reality of tht person...i mean to get to know the person on a personal basis cuz its the issueof your whole life....

you should always marry for love not because someone told you to or because it is in your best interest. I feel sorry for your friend for not being able to marry the one he loves.
