Arranged Marriages

[sad_eyes]

What do you guys think of them?

Depends ... is she hot, young and smart, has big breasts, and comes from a rich family? Then I'm all for it. Otherwise, I think it's the most sickening thing ever.

Edit: well, maybe not as sickening as that Bush doing Sadam doing Osama with boobs thread.

Well, more cases than not i have seen large problems.. though they tend to stick together and in a sense "hate" eachother more so than divorce.. but overal.. i would not support it... and i would never be a part of it.

I personally would never want to be in an arranged marriage. My parents are NOT coming up to me and saying, "We want you to marry this man." NO WAY!

I'm not as against it as some people are... it's got it's own benefits and disadvantages. Over all, it's probably not something I'd engage in.

I don't think its really that bad. Its not like your parents are going to force you to marry one particular person, they dont even do that in India, at least not anymore. Your parents might introduce you to some guy that they like and would hope that you would like him too, but if there is no chemistry then I doubt your parents are going to force it on you. Although my parents are old fashioned they wouldnt in a million years force a marriage on me with someone I have no connection with. But if in that one chance that your parents somehow manage to introduce you to that special guy then why not. Although its technically not "arranged," they still had some contribution.

You read my mind Inna jan. Of course my parents would never force me to marry anyone I didnt want to. But I must say I do trust their judgement.

Butt...if they know someone thats knows someone that has a cute cuz..hell I dont care. Jkk.... Jkkk....

I think that to listen opinion of parents is not bad... they saw a lot in their life and they can give a valuable advice... but I do not think that it's someone's right to force me to marry with someone if I do not want... You will live with that person not your parents, so you must choose that person...

I think that to listen opinion of perents is not bad... they saw a lot in their life and they can give a valuable advice... but I do not think that it's someone's right to force me to marry with someone if I do not want... You will live with that person nnot your perents, so you must choose that person...

No offense intended, but how long have you been living in the United States?
