Arranged And Love Marriage

Arranged Marriages have been around since time can remember. An arranged marriage is a marital union between a man and a woman who were selected to be wedded together by a third party. Historically, arrange marriages were the main way to marry. In certain parts of the world, it is still the primary approach. There are two types of arrange marriages. The first is a traditional marriage where the children can, with strong objections, refuse to marry their soon to be spouse. In a forced marriage, the children have no say in the matter. Bread Givers shows an excellent representation of the pressures on children from their parents to be married against their will.

Arranged marriage is found in various cultures and countries around the world, including Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East; having an arranged marriage is thought of as an Afghani tradition and has been a part of life for many families. The practice of arranged marriage has advantages and disadvantages; it can create more family power and give more financial security. Sadly being forced into a marriage can disrupt the independence of the engaged, most women stop their education when they become engaged resulting in many women being illiterate. This makes it impossible for them to be successful without depending on their husbands. Arranged marriage is found in many cultures throughout the modern world, though in a lot of cases it results in a happy family it can also be very limiting on women and often girls are married before they can give consent.

Marriage is described as two people as partners in a personal relationship. There are two typical ideas of marriage that we know today. The first one that comes to mind is the one we all know, based on love, but there is another one that some may not even know of and its arranged marriages. Arranged marriage is not typically in our culture we know but in different cultures arranged marriages are their normal marriage. Throughout this essay, I will discuss the importance of realizing cultural diversity and how we apply the perspectives we gain from cross-cultural comparison to our own experience using central concepts about marriage to compare and contrast marriage in several cultures.

If one does not require a marriage for their love to grow or even transpire, then why do it at all and for what purpose? With a look at “The Arranged Marriage” by

Be it resolved, arranged marriages do work for many, however arranged marriages is not a healthy way of life for the majority of young couples today. According to the oxford dictionary an arranged marriage is, “A marriage planned and agreed by the families and or guardians of the bride and groom who have little to no say in the matter themselves.” In my perspective arranged marriages can lead to different kinds of abuse weather it be physical or emotional, women becoming domestic slaves, and ultimately limits the happiness of the two “partners”.

Marriage is an essential contract between a husband and a wife. In the past, marriages were arranged between relatives and the parents of the couple were the main leads in discussing the ceremony.

Throughout time arranged marriages were the norm in several societies. In the comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, Hermia is in love with Lysander, but her father wants her to marry Demetrius. She escapes into the woods with Lysander. Just like Hermia, many people around the world are forced to marry someone that their parents choose for them. Love marriage vs. Arranged marriage is always a debated topic. While there are instances of love marriages working out, there are arranged marriages which are successful too. Both have their pros and cons. And it is just the world around us which makes us support or be against a love marriage. Arranged marriages are based on the understanding of two families. The parents of the bride or groom get to pick their future partner. On the other hand, love marriages are more of an independent choice between the bride and groom. Giving them the freedom to marry someone they know and admire. There are different customs and traditions that are followed in different societal set-ups. Arrange marriages lack love and respect between husband and wife. Arranged marriages are a social injustice. They deprive individuals of their choice. Marriage is a commitment of two people who have made a vow to love each other till death. In the essay I will be debating the pro’s and con’s of arranged and love marriages.

The first major reason for the existence for marriage is love. Modern marriages take love as their prime factor. So many ask what love is? Love is caring deeply about another person, it seems impossible to be without them. The ideology allows people from different social classes, religions, genders and races to be united without any opposition to their relationship. Mostly people marry when they find a person who is a friend, protector, supporter and a lover. Love cannot be explained since it has many meanings, but in marriage, it allows people to

Is there real love existing in an arranged marriage? Are arranged marriages successful in the long-term? These are some questions that many people think about before entering one. But, what exactly is an arranged marriage? According to New World Encyclopedia, an arranged marriage is, “a marriage which involves the parents in a process of selecting marriage partners for their children, with or without the help of a matchmaker.” (New World Encyclopedia) (show visual). You don’t hear the term ‘arranged marriage’ quite often here in North America. Why? Well, mainly because it’s rare in this part of the world. Where it is common though is in the Middle East. They have strong cultural traditions and values, and do not allow themselves to necessarily

Marriages is suppose to be about making memories with your partner and being happy and joyful while doing it. Romeo and Juliet fell in love ,but Juliet had arranged to be married to Paris. Juliet wanted to fake her death so that she could get out of her arranged marriage to Paris. Juliet really wanted to get out of her arranged marriage so bad that she had to fake her death. I strongly disagree with arranged marriages.Marriage should be by love not

This topic a is very important subject in cultural anthropology because of how it is represented in each culture around the world since they have their own customs and traditions. Although, marriage can be good it is not always about love between the two people who are getting married. An example would be an arranged marriage that is defined with the purpose of uniting a kinship group with a common goal. On the other hand, marriage is the union that is culturally defined as a sexual relationship between two adults who have a bond with the children they take responsibility for and the relationship of the kinship group that are united when the marriage takes place. Going back to arranged marriages, they are usually arranged by the

In both arranged marriages and love marriages there are some good things but as well as a few bad things. During the 20th century, arranged marriages were very common among families. In non-western countries many of the cultures say that love is not a requirement for marriage (Epstein). First comes marriage, then comes love. That is the normal in their cultures.

If there is no love found, the couple is left in an unworthy relationship. In arranged marriages, the couples are not able to understand each other very well before the marriage and also not aware of the likes and dislikes of one other. In love marriage, the couples get to know each other ahead of the commitment. When speaking of love, love has to be developed in an arranged marriage, as they will only know each other better after the wedding. In a love marriage, the couples have been together long enough to get to know each other before the marriage, so they have always been in love, and there is no need to develop it. Another problem in forced marriages, is that men are always more dominant than the women. No one seems to be dominant person over the other in a love marriage. This is another reason that women are more likely to be abused in an involuntary marriage. According to a New Delhi psychotherapist, abuse is found more in arranged marriages rather than love marriages. Considering these factors, it is evident that love marriages cause greater serenity over the troubles that come along with a forced

Marriage is a union that has been around for as long as humans have walked the earth. The human race depends upon the union of its members, and as such, the subject of marriage has been an issue that receives more intense scrutiny and attention than many would likely believe. In today's day and age, with humanity continuing to move in a modern direction, many argue that marriage is a union that should be entered into freely and should be based exclusively on the love between two people. However, I argue that arranged marriage, which has taken place throughout the ages and throughout the world, is a union that offers its observers a marriage based in support, longevity and love, and is an institution that should not be frowned upon.

Religion should not accept arranged marriage because it leads to violence,love and connection, and the loss of free will. In Hinduism each of these three arguments have some type of connection with hinduism. firstly , religion should not accept arranged marriage because it can lead to violence as well. In hinduism they believe that violence is a sin and can lead to bad karma. Evidence to support my argument is “ it is a sin and also bad karma when it comes to physical abuse,harmful words,mentally plan to cause harm”. This proves that violence leads to bad sins and also bad karma and at the end will all come back to you for what you have done. Another evidence to support my arguments is in buddhism one of the ways to live your life is following the “5 precepts”. One of the “5 precepts” states that “ harming living things” is not allowed and also that one should follow this moral from the “5 precepts”. In conclusion ,religion should not accept arranged marriage because it can lead to violence and also bad sin and bad karma.
