Hi Rehan,

According to my experiences as a children of good parents
we have to accept their advise from our parents especially with
the marriage, because our parents has more experiences than us to
have the good girl for us to have the good life. But unfortunately
most of the children does not accept the advise from their parents
and would decide by them self, finally they are suffered with lots of
problems especially in the financial issues. So I am strongly advising
all the children to accept the advise of their parents and to go for the
marriage, to have the good and happy life.

Have a nice day.

yes,parents always care for us and they never do anything wrong to us.they have better experience and knowledge to choose a girl/boy for us.so we should respect their decision and go with that girl/boy. when we disobey their decision there will be always some problem because of our decision.

Maybe many people's parents, like yours, really know how to choose a boy/girl for their kid. But why we "have to"? If we really love someone, it's our choice, and we also hope our parents will accept it, and support us, not just suggest someone they think will fit us.

It's very difficult to tackel this thing, and you love your parents, but your parents love you very much, maybe they think it's good to let you marry him/her. I once met the problem, my parents let me meet one guy and forced me to marry him, but I didn't do that as per their requirement. Because I didn't love that boy, and marriage is need love, so I told my parents that I won't be happy forever if I marry one I don't love, at first, my parents don't accept my answer and very angry, but later, they told me happiness need me to catch tightly. I got their understanding at last. So I think communicate with parents is very important, and tell our parents let them to understand our feeling.

I am glad your parents came to see your point of view and it is very brave of you to have stood up for your beliefsthumbup


myLot reputation of 94/100. rehan_andaman (793)   ranked 2,919 out of 11,783 in love  3 weeks ago

this is a matter of our life,so we should talk to our parents as you did and let them know as what i feel and want.we should tell them that i do not want to marry that boy/girl because of this this reason and if they really love us and want to see us happy accept our decision.

I think you can't force to anyone for love.. It is a feelings that you can only feel and if you loved someone truley then you never hurt her/him anytime.. and i think if you forced someone for love then it is not love..it is your bad thinking about love..


myLot reputation of 94/100. rehan_andaman (793)   ranked 2,919 out of 11,783 in love  3 weeks ago

yes you are right,we can not force anyone to love someone.we love someone by our own decision and feeling,no one can force to love because then it will not be love. sometime parents want us to marry a girl/boy,but we don't like that girl/boy but parents are insisting on marriage and we have to at the end.sometime we fall love with that person but if not then the whole life just goes on wasting and it may result in divorce.

This is one of the subjects which will certainly show up some of the cultural differences here.

I know you can't be forced to love someone as it is a feeling which is either there or it isn't.
There may be occasions in an arranged marriage where love grows with time but I believe that will be very rare.

You ask what I would do in this situation but it is hard for me to answer as I would never be in that position as I am from the UK where it is uncommon.

Obviously there are many different cultures within the UK and arranged marriages do happen but in general it isn't a Western custom.

I would do what I wanted to and not what my parents wanted as it is my life and not theirs.
Easy for me to say and I realise that it is not so simple for many people.
I can't think of a compromise that would please both sides so one side will inevitably be unhappy whatever the outcome.

Unless the parents can be persuaded to change their minds I haven't a clue what could be done.


myLot reputation of 94/100. rehan_andaman (793)   ranked 2,919 out of 11,783 in love  3 weeks ago

Sir, you are absolutely correct.It depends upon culture, in most of western countries people marry to girl/boy of their choice and there is no parent's decision is involved in but.mostly they are free to love to anyone they want.
But this is not the case for everyone as here in India most of marriages are on arrange marriage not only in India but also in other countries too.we have to obey our parents decision and follow them but if we really not going to love that person who is chosen by our parent then we should talk with them and let them to know what we think and if they love us then they will not force us to marry that person.

This is a really tough question and tough situation. I came from a very open and loving family. They would never force me to marry anyone I didn't feel comfortable with, so I can't speak from experience here. I can only suggest trying to sit down with your parents and telling them your feelings. Ask them why they believe this girl/boy is right for you? Then give your opinions on why he/she is not. You'd be surprised that after an open conversation how receptive your parents can be. I can't assure you that this will work, but it can't hurt to try. Good Luck.


myLot reputation of 94/100. rehan_andaman (793)   ranked 2,919 out of 11,783 in love  3 weeks ago

yes you are right we should talk to our parents and tell everything to them. this will develop a good communication and understanding between parent and child. but they are insisting that she/he is right for you and it's their wish then what a person can do.i can never hurt my parents and marry the girl and try to love her which difficult to do.

I think this depends on culture, really. Some cultures are more inclined to just marry the person their parents set for them because it's tradition.

For me, being the stubborn person I am, I would probably go do my own thing and go my way. You only live one life and why not share it with someone you truly love?


myLot reputation of 94/100. rehan_andaman (793)   ranked 2,919 out of 11,783 in love  3 weeks ago

your thinking is correct, we have only one life so live it with one you really want to. but as their are culture of arrange marriage and people do not have much of choice and people don't like to hurt their parents.so generally do what their parents want and live whole live with someone he never loves but after some period of time people start loving each other if it not happens then it result in divorce.

That's a rough situation. Perhaps your parents have a good reason for wanting you to marry this person. Maybe they'll be financially stable and be able to take care of you. If you really hate this person, your parents should understand that is person will make you miserable for the rest of your life. Talking to your parents about that would be hard though because alot of times adults take on that "I'm always right" stand and won't listen. I know that well and it's rough to deal with.


myLot reputation of 94/100. rehan_andaman (793)   ranked 2,919 out of 11,783 in love  3 weeks ago

yes you are right,we should talk to our parent and tell them the whole story.we should tell them early before marriage that i do not like that girl/boy and do not want to marry her/him.they will understand the situation and do the right thing in favor of us.thanks for reply.

i guess your parents wouldn't choose somebody who'll just hurt you in the end. somehow, your parents is right. but if you're not happy with their suggestion or wants then convinced them that you don't want to marry that guy and assure them that you won't somebody who's not deserving.

yes you are right.we should talk to our parents and tell them what we think about the person who is chosen by our parents and i am sure then they will not force to marry.thanks for the reply.
