Well... i think it depends. For all we know, divorce rate is higher than the rate student going to college. Very often we heard that our closest friends are getting a divorce. i am not a parent but i now their knows best for the future of their child, if you're going to marry ' the wrong guy ' but you're blinded by the charms, then i think that's when parent should step in and intervene so that you can be saved from certain break-ups. Side: not bad...

If you're a baby, and your parents have a friend with a similarly aged baby, and if your parents arrange a marriage with their friends and then live in the same neighborhood together, not only will you grow up having your personality partially shaped by the person you're betrothed to, you'll also experience that classic childhood romance. What's wrong with that? Betrothals are only stupid when they are forced upon teenagers, but that's not how they're supposed to work. They're SUPPOSED to work by betrothing two young children or toddlers, and then letting those two children grow up together knowing they're going to be mated when they turn 18. When a betrothal is done properly in that manner, as in from a very young age, the only chance of failure is if one of the betrothed children is a homosexual. Otherwise, there is no chance of failure in that relationship. I know, because I've studied child psychology. Side: not bad...

Actually, it is very difficult issue which has 2 diffirent attitude. But generally, it depends on nationality and mentality, because some nations have the tradition for parents to choose the second half for their child and child actually has no chance. But , I think that, choice of second half must belong to each person individually nut to parents. Although, sometimes, it is better to listen to parents' insistance, because usually love "clouds" the common sense..... Side: no! never!

that is right, but then again, Arranged marriages vary in both nature and duration of time from meeting to engagement. In an "introduction only" arranged marriage, the parents may only introduce their son or daughter to a potential spouse. From that point on, it is up to the children to manage the relationship and make a choice. but when the parents force the child to this arranged marriage...it will cause problems. Side: no! never!
