Which Is Better In This Modern World

1. Love Marriage
2. Arrange Marriage

And Why ????????


think twice before you say

We don't really have a lot of arranged marriages in America?

I think just having choice to have it arranged or not is better in the modern world. Never forced.

hmmm.playing devil's advocate here, since I've never been married;
which marriages are known to last longer? those who married for love or those who were brought together in arrangements but figure out how to deal with each other?
western culture doesn't have arranged marriages and we wish for relationship and love but forget how to maintain the relationship. many fail because of egocentrism on one or both parts.
when I had this discussion once with my friend from India once she said, at least it saves people from not getting married. and most people learn to at least be friends and stay married.
so my answer is it's whatever works . I can't jusge other's customs or beliefs opposed to mine.

1. Love Marriage
cause its love

Wait...arraigned marriages are a legit thing? I always thought it was a joke against a culture. Didn't think it was an legit thing.

Chalk that one up to pure ignorance.

What century are we living in?

depends upon what one is seeking I think

if its the romance and chemistry of the movies,, 'love' is probably better

if its stability, foundation, and commitment,,,'arranged' is probably better


I am not humble enough to not want all of the above though,,,,in which case neither is anymore of a guarantee,,

If we assume your meaning of an arranged marriage is a forced marriage of two people, then here in the UK, forced marriages by and of UK citizens whether inside or outside the country are illegal, those that force the marriage are committing a criminal offence punishable by UK law.

In any event to answer your question, I would prefer to choose my own partner in life, as a divorcee I made a mistake in my choice, but it was my mistake and her mistake, no one else to blame.

Love Marriage
because love is very strong if it is real love

As far as i know arranged marriages are not really practiced in the western world (except, of course, by some ethnic communities comming from different parts of the world), but they are still very common in some Asian (and African ?)countries. I know, from an Indian friend of mine, that in India 85% of marriages are still arranged! So, this is a totally different culture, and arranged marriages are not really always forced -- many have an option if they want it or not, if they want to find a partner for themselves or they want their family to arrange it (which, to me, is like a good matching agency.. ), and it's part of their culture....but correct me, if i'm wrong....

As for what is best, i hardly say.... However, i think that "love marriage" is not always full of love, and "arranged marriage" is not always loveless, and i believe that there are more "love marriages" that end in devorce.... My personal opinion is that searching for love and the right partner on one's own is (and should be) part of fully grown up, mature and independent human being ... but this same human being should also know and accept that not everybody is meant to get married. To stay single is also a calling....
