In my country most people marry for financial Idependence and the less goes for Love. is it the same in every country? Please share..me personally I believe Love is the key,I did not find that soulmate yet but one day I want to marry for Love.

Same in every country. Yet to meet single Indian woman who marries for love. For them love = man with money. :D

And for money, they even overlook physical appearance, age, nature of the person, and most importantly character of the person.

It's a personal choice, you can not generalize it.

@evaiipuleni Few people can have different thought, they may prefer money over love for practical reasons.

In India we normally have arranged marriages where the parents look for a groom who is financially in a better position than them so that their daughter is protected and remains happy. It is a natural thing for anyone to look for financial security since marriage is a relationship that is supposed to last for life ..In love marriages too most girls look for someone who is their equal in earning and status ..

@evaiipuleni it is not too bad now , since the concept of arranged marriage has changed to a certain extent . Young girls and boys meet at wedding's and other occasions and introduced to each other and they then get to know one another and may decide to marry which becomes an arranged love marriage lol ..

But if you are not in Love then you will never be happy, you are physically not attracted to that arranged man, is like being raped..such issues need to be dealt with so every women have the right to choose for what they want..

I personally believe that any marriage done without reason being love and only money will be a selfish one, but may be with time love may blossom on its own.

I think it is some of both but sometimes it leans more towards the money side. Sometimes it is just something that has ro be. Not everyone is lucky enough or finacilally stable enough and some don't even get a say at all in an arranged marriage.

That is the bad thing, at times this marriages are arranged which is very bad but if you get a chance to choose please take the right one..

The economic base determines the superstructure. few people choose to share the joys and sorrows. especially in contacting with other strangers. True love is rare money may gave them A sense of security Happiness consists in contentment

There are only two faces here. Some marry someone because of money and others will marry because of love.
