Do you agree in fixed marriage?

I think one should know one's future partner before tying the knot.I am not saying no to an arranged marriage totally.You in an arranged marriage the families on both sides try to find the right match. After that if the prospective bride and groom get to meet and know each other for a while, I believe it is better. However, I also believe in the fact that knowing a person for a short period of time does not ensure that they will spend a whole lifetime together, it is better than going in blind where the bride and groom do not even know each other and meet as strangers after their marriage.

though arranged marriages are common in India and far more successful due to societal approval.i feel each individual has the right to decide for his life and life partner. the family is no doubt important but they should let the person decide with their inputs.this will make everyone happy.

Yes i agree for fixed marriage as i know that they are matured and organized by both the family as well....Parents decide because they have enough experience than you in life so it is better to be arranged marriage and then love each other

Personally, I do not agree in fixed marriage. It gives a person no freedom to choose his partner. Fixed marriage is a product of an agreement commitment or engagement between two persons entering in a marriage life. This is usually evident in families and personal friends who they commit their son or daughter to families they like to have in the future. Meaning, it is their family choosing the person they wanted to marry for their son/daughter. Marriage is a lifetime commitment of any couple. It arise from the decision of two mature persons who are involved and the main people behind this. Fixed marriage is the decision of families, and or relatives and personal friends but not the decision of the two people concerned. Therefore, if fixed marriage is applies, and these two concerned people are unable to meet their differences and had been in-loved truthfully. The marriage outcome is unsuccessful. But, if the fix marriage happens to be the persons involved and the families has no conflicts and marital differences. Then there is no problem . Fixed marriage is good if it will turn out a marital life successful but commonly, in some personal reasons which is not the voluntary will of the couple involved. I do not agree in fixed marriage.

what do you mean by fixed marriage? arranged marriage by parents? no im not in favor with that... because there should be "love" involve to the two person who wants to get married.

Arranged marriages sound really scary to me BUT I'm captivated by the idea of them. I seems as if the people in these types of marriages are happy with them. Maybe parents pick better than kids would do for themselves. Maybe both parties try harder than they would if they felt like the could let the marriage fail easily. Maybe people can love anyone if they try, maybe we don't need to find someone whose the right "type." I don't know, but I think it's very interesting.

I don't agree in a fixed or arranged marriage, if that's what you mean. First and foremost, I need to understand the woman's personality and her past life, and also her habits and patterns and her ways of thinking. I just can't look at a photo and bio-data and salary and decide that she should be the one. Same thing applies for her also I guess... There are many issues related to arranged marriage. I am just not that type, even though there are loads of people successfully married in such marriages. Most of my relatives had arranged or fixed marriages, and they've been living a good life, if not a content and happily married life. I am sure there are issues inside the bedroom, which is their private affair, and there will be issues in love marriages also. But I am extremely liberal in my thinking, and I feel that would be a barrier in my culture, if I follow the tradition of fixed marriage. I don't believe in it only for myself. The other's it's their individual decision whether they want to believe it or not.

No, I don't believe in fixed/arranged marriages. Every person has the right to choose whom he/she wants to marry. Can you really stand marrying someone whom you don't love or feel attracted to? I loved my husband when I married him and now I regret marrying him. And there seems to be no way out. How else can someone agree to a fixed/arranged marriage? There are a lot of marraiges that started happy, and ended up broken. Marriage is a big gamble.
