Yes or No to arranged marriages



Now, let's think it over about arranged marriages conducted over the decades and compare them with weddings in the modern age. What are their pros and cons? Are they still suitable and feasible? Here are a few of my views:

Arranged marriages :

Pros

Cons

Your parents can choose a suitable candidate for you (status, wealth, characteristics)

Those features may be important to your parents but may not apply the same to you. Who knows if you might get a groom/bride who is smart and rich but ugly?

The groom/bride is definitely from a good and proper family

Who cares if your partner is from a good family if your groom/bride is unsuitable?

There are less divorces for arrange-married couples

You may be under tremendous pressure not to get a divorce despite the fact that you have a lot of reasons to!

You can always say no after the first meeting with your future husband/wife

How can you tell whether you like or dislike your future partner through one meeting?

You can always blame it on your parents for choosing the wrong candidate

The suffering is yours alone

Your parents say ‘satisfaction guaranteed’

You say ‘I don’t think so’


Self-decided marriages :-

Pros

Cons

You know who you want to get married to

That’s why you are still single after the age of 40 cos you can’t find the right one

You love your partner

Your parents might hate him/her

You know when you want to get married and be prepared for it

You have been keeping your parents waiting for your wedding

It is your decisions to make

It is also your blame to take if you’ve chosen the wrong candidate

You can divorce him/her anytime

That’s why parents say that they should choose your partner for you

You say ‘I know what I am doing’

Your parents say ‘you will regret it’


So, what do you think?
