First of all

the divorce rate is very low here’s some facts:

1-2 % of couples in india get divorced

and 45 % of danish couples get divorced

this is good for the children, because families stay together. This provides a safe and healthy environment.

3'rd party involvement:

this can be a good thing if done right.

Parents often have WAY more experience, this can prevent young people to get into a bad environment by "choosing" their social life.

Economic safety:

Let me make an example: if 2 families own a medium-big company, and they decide to marry their children. The 2 companies can become 1 big, and maybe increase the competitive ability of the company, which would be beneficial for both families.

Hello my friends. Arranged marriages are good because everyone have to care about the future children. When marriages are arranged are the divorce rate much lower. A marriage should be for a lifetme, not a year. Children with divorced parents get distracted from school and need extra help. Children need at stable and safe envoriment

Arranged marriages are good! There are no bad things about it. The children’s gets to live in a non-separated family, where everyone can be happy and the child don’t have to think about the terrible thought of their parents getting divorced. Everyone tries to find their perfect match, but we use a lot of time finding him or her, so why don’t you just let the parents decide who you should date, then you are also sure that your parents like them. You also support eat other financially and help if someone need it, you are one big family.

Yeah, the divorce rates may be lower and it may be good for the children in the situation, but first off MOST arranged marriages involve prior rape, many of them involve child brides, most of the couples are not in love or they are unhappily married, and MOST of them involve severe domestic abuse/violence. That is the real world pal.

Arranged marriage is much better because you won’t end up alone and your parents are protecting you from marrying someone from a lover caste. Or someone who is really poor so your parents match you with someone who would be perfect for you. So take a look at some advantages of going for an arranged marriage. Your parents would never match you with someone who would be a bad influence on you or are just generally a bad spouse. Which is a mistake some people do in normal marriages. In India you say when you marry someone you also marry the family. So if your parents pick your spouse they won’t pick someone with a family who is mean or maybe not even in contact. India have the lowest divorce rate compared to the western countries. It has always been this way and it is a tradition and that tradition shall be continued!

Arranged marriages were popularised with the intent of creating ideal unities with a lack of empathy towards those participating. No matter the intent, it should be an individual's, not a 3rd party's choice to enter into the relationship. All human beings have the right to happiness and with an event as major as a marriage, free will is a must.

Arranged marriages is just not the way to live a happy life! You should marry a man or a woman because you love him/her – not because your parents says it’s a good idea.

The suicide rate in Indian is not to joke with there is a reason it’s that high and we think that arranged marriages is one of the big factors. Many people in arranged marriages would rather kill themselves than tell their parent that they aren’t happy in their relationship. We think that’s crazy.

For example, if you have a beautiful daughter you can use her to get a better life by giving her away to a rich family. That's just wrong!!

Arranged Marriages is a bad idea because we feel that the parents not love their kids, they just want moneys.. and if they really just want their kids to go they can just put them on E-bay and write everything like “she can cook, she can cleaning, she is virgin asf..” And if the woman don’t like the man, it can be a problem because then the maybe don't want to have sex and then they don't have any children and no one to make the generation further.

And then they maybe not feel what true love is because the only thing a woman can do is cleaning, cook and make babies and a man can just work?.. but NO every woman and man is not just a thing? they a people with feelings or maybe not? because you make them go away..

Arranged marriages is just stupid, it should be your own choice, and not someone else.

In countries where they have a lot of arranged marriages, there are a lot more of suicide, compared to in country's where you choose your self, and can get divorced.

IT takes away the freedom of choosing your self, I mean, if i was told from day 1, that i should marry they girl next door, I wouldn't look for a girlfriend ever, and i might not even like her, that's because i have been told i have to marry her, i put my self in a illusion, that makes me think i love her. I think it is more important, that you choose a partner, because of your feelings, and not because you are told to marry that person.

Arranged marriages was a big thing back in the days, because you had to find the right partner, but today, there are no such thing, as a right partner.

We are against arranged marriages because of the following reasons:

Given the fact that it is a life partner we are talking about here, it is wrong for the parents to arrange a marriage for their children after all it is not their life partner but their children’s so it is important that it should be the child’s choice.

In the text ‘arranged marriages’ it says that arranged marriages are good and we are given an example of the divorce rates in western countries and a country like India where arranged marriages are supported, but let us give it a thought. In India marriages are seen in a way that it is for the whole family but this is wrong. Marriage is between two people. The fact that India has got the lowest divorce rate in the world it is because the people in the arranged marriages are afraid to break up after all the whole family’s decision has to be put into consideration.

In an arranged marriage, there is no freedom of speech. Let us take an example, if the two lovers involved in the marriage have a problem and are tired of being together, they cannot reason being they are bound not to because they are looking out for the family’s best interests instead of theirs.

In our opinion, arranged marriages are like ‘forced marriages’.Arranged marriages is a word to sugar quote them. Reason being, the parents look for their children’s life partners before puberty and when the right time comes the child has no choice but to say yes.
