Honestly, i don't like the idea of arrange marriage. I no someone who's politically planned their marriage and the guy is always after her. he keeps bragging about them and courting her parents to pursue the wedding even the girl run away to avoid the force marriage.

Thank you for honest opinion =) Whatever it is, when it comes to arranged marriage, I believe both parties must give their consent to be arranged for marriage. In that way it'll be fair to both parties

They say that love can be learned and developed with time. Two people could end up being in love with each other even though they don't have feelings for each other at first. And, sometimes, only one person gets to feel for the other. It seems unfair and very hurting. Well, it will really depend. Arranged marriage is scary for me. There's no guarantee as to whether the relationship will work or not.

thank you for your opinion. during festive seasons we would go visiting our relatives and i get to hear stories from some elderly ones in particular on how their marriage was arranged but yet able to last long. they said that they knew the responsibility they have to bear as husband and wife despite the lack of love in their marriage. But over time they get to know each other better and their love for one another grew eventually. I'm not sure if today's generation can relate to that.

thank you for your opinion. well i guess you got a point. rather then getting married straight away, there must be room to get to know each other first and find out if they are really suited for one another. A friend of mine was arranged by his parents to be married to a woman. But after getting to know their life goals are not compatible with each other, the arrangement dissolved but they remain on good terms anyway.
