i am not sure about the other countries but here in indopak region we people prefer to get married arranged by our parents. yeah definitely the trends are changing and people are getting aware of love marriages and its benefits. but in the west the people almost all go for love marriage. because the culture in whcih they are living support it. but on the other hand if we see the divorce rate is quite higher as compared to indopak region. so can any one explain if two people love each other what are the reasons for divorce and why is it on the rise in love marriage couples rather than arranged marriage couples.

yeah that is another option that we may convert our love into arrange marriage but what i feel that its a totally love marriage why because you loved the guy first and than you took him to your parents and definitely parents would want to see their daughter happy so they agreed. isnt it?

In my country, we have the right to choose who ever we want to marry as long we are bound by our love and we love each other. I would choose my own choice to have a partner who are my personal choice. Because I believe that if you love someone you marry, it is not hard to start a new family life. And that love can bound you together until the rest of your life. I am married for almost 12 years and I am happy because I choose the one I love and not the choice of my parent and it work for us.
