Arranged Marriages
yeah so if a bride disagrees and runs away from home etc the respect is lost and the parents are defamed in the eyes of the society
i think individuals should be given the right to express their opinions on marriages without fear
but then again try discussin marriage to asian parents most flip

Every one should get their way, if they don't want problems. You should discuss it with your parents if they're going to force you to marry somone else!

like it has been sed b4 i think that arranged marriages r ok dependin on da situation... i mean if both da bride nd groom r willin to go thru wid it... den gdgd.. bt its only bad wen da arranged marriage turns into a forced marraige... for me personally prefer love marriage... cos wud find arranged marriage awkward... nt knowin da person so well... bt sum ppl actually gt to spend time wid der to be husbad/wife b4 der arranged marraige which i think is gd

YAYYY! OMG I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS! I'VE SAID ENOUGH TO PEOPLE ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST!!!
OK so first things first. Many people think of Arranged Marriages as FORCED marriages. This is incorrect
A Forced Marriage = When two people are forced to be married without any/one of the partners giving consent or given the freedom to make their own decision.
An Arranged Marriage = when the potential couple are introduced and are then given the choice of whether they'd like to accept/reject the proposal.
Now kids, haven't you ever had ur friends set u up with a boy or a girl? Well this is them "arranging" it. Who better than your friends and family to arrange a meeting for you and your potential spouse? Of course you have the whole right to choose ur own spouse but wat harm is it to just check out someone "recommended" to you by someone?
so basically...as Cuzzy very rightly said...the topic is arranged marriages and not forced
