do you believe in pre-arrnge marriage?

beh it cna be comfortable from some point of views but i guess it wouldn't so suitable as regards the marriage works or not!!Suchas if you are obliged to amrry somebody in many cases it would be a false marriage and so i guess it would not work so much!

it is not that I believe but there are really other group of society who still have this practice. It is a mantter of what that the believe in. But for me, I don't like to have pre-arrange marriage, because it my own life I will be the one who live with my partner for the rest of our lives therefore I should be the one to choose my partner.

I don't really like the idea. There are enough bad marriages with people who know each other. It should be worse when people don't know each other ahead of time. Of course, with cultures having pre-arranged marriages, there is probably still a stigma regarding divorce, especially on the woman's part. Even here in America, there was a stigma regarding divorce which really didn't start to fade away until the 1960's.

It's a gamble, it could work, but it might also turn into a disastrous unfaithful marriage. They're lucky if they stay in the marriage, happy and satisfied. But who knows some pre-arranged couples just don't get lucky that way. Sad isn't it.

Yes, i believe in pre-arranged marriage but i don't like it. I think we should let people have the freedom to choose who they wanna be with for the rest of their lives. Although not in a very young age. Lol.

i dun really believe in that, but sometimes it create sparks among the couples..that's really lucky then..but if there's no love between them..then that's bad..in my opinion it depends..but we should respect each other's choice as well..oh well..

My first thought is that knowing someone thoroughly before marriage and selecting the person you want to marry based on their qualities and not family dealings would make for a better, happier marriage. But I'm not married so what do I know? I know a girl from Pakistan. She's 24 and isn't allowed to even speak to a boy unless her parents are there. She's not allowed to have a boyfriend. She's not allowed to touch or kiss a boy. And eventually, probably very soon, her parents will pick out a man for her to marry. To me, this is an extremely foreign concept. She doesn't seem thrilled with the prospect, but according to her, going against her parents' wishes is a huge sin and so she'll honor what they want and be married to a relative stranger eventually. Of course, this man will be someone the family perceives to be "good." He'll be of the same religious sect (Ahmadi Muslim), he'll have a good career, his family will be in high standing in the community, etc. But he won't be a boy she finds on her own. She won't know him as a person, hardly, before knowing him as a husband. It's hard for me to imagine. I put myself in her shoes--and it's hard since I'm from a different culture, relgion, and I'm a guy--and just imagine being a girl who's basically thrust into a new life away from home with a man who, not only she doesn't know, but now has the proverbial martial rights and will be performing his duties on his untouched wife, I'm sure. For some people, men and women, this has to be a scary thing. Although, I'm sure the men love it a heck of a lot more and that's why some places are slow to change. I won't denigrate folks believing in arranged marriage, but it's certainly not for me. I can't get my head around it.
