Negative Effects of Arranged Marriage

According to study done by researcher Abigail Weitzman, “women in India who have more education than their husbands, who earn more, or who are the sole earners in their families have a higher likelihood of experiencing frequent and severe intimate partner violence (IPV) than women who are not employed or who are less educated than their spouse” (Weitzman, 2014). Even women with higher education and jobs in India reported becoming victim of domestic violence. One reason Abigail mentions in her research was, “gender deviants”. Women with higher education were looked, as superiority to men and that is why men use more violence to gain power over women. To men in India, they always wanted to be superior to women in any way. They are head of their family and therefore, they are the one who makes all kinds of decisions, take over the control of their whole

Domestic violence against women is prevalent in almost all the societies in the world. It is an issue which was not even recognised as a crime 40 years ago and is still not recognized as a crime by many societies. Women suffer from violence, including physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological violence by strangers and their partners all over the world (Kaya, 2010). Even though it is a worldwide occurrence, there are some women who face more intense and frequent violence depending on their culture, country, religion,

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”.

Women all around the world have done a lot of sacrifices to get both name and fame in the world. Some of the examples are Ellen Degeneres, Oprah Winfery, Kalpana Chawla, Janet Jackson etc. These women helped a lot for uplifting the women status in the entire world and most of the girls follow their footprints to get famous like them in future. But still there are a lot of women who are working in fields, as a maid worker and in industries in poor condition. These women are facing problems such as sexual abuse, harassment and high level of violence.

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

Forty Six years ago, on January 24, India got her First Lady Prime Minister - Mrs. Indira Gandhi. The nation of male dominance stood standstill in the awe of the power of this one lady whose determination spoke volumes. Today, India stands high in the race of urbanization but in the genre of social development, it is away behind. It is an irony in this country that where mother is worshipped as Mother Divine, there is domestic violence. In a country where ‘Kumari Puja’ is done, there is female foeticide.

It is also stated that these female minorities typically live transient. This idea relates to the notions of routine activity theory, which states that a lack of social ties make it easier for an individual to be transient. As a result, individuals become vulnerable to victimization due to diminished social cohesiveness. This relates to my paper due to the continuation of victimization towards women who are perceived to be “less” of a human. This ideology directly relates to India’s patriarchal dominance that treats women, regardless of class from a lower

For many years there has been a substantial increase in women suffering or suffered from various types of abuse. South Asian women, in particular, continue to be involved in severe physical and emotional mistreatments taken place within their “private” homes. As well as, ongoing patterns of coercive control, and the deprivation of liberty. In effect, those subject to domestic violence are more likely to be predisposed to greater long-term mental disorders, and drug dependencies compared to those that don’t. This has resulted in several protests being made nationwide in aid to reduce gendered abuse. However, ethical and human rights remain non-existent for disadvantaged groups of women. This chapter will examine of how the extent of abuse differs

It is a common thought that being involved in an arranged marriage does not lead to any beneficial outcomes. However, not all cases lead this way. Arranged marriages has its advantages to both the bride, groom, and their family. In an article by Ji (2010), he stated that being in an arranged marriage is more reliable and rational. This is because the bride and groom are most likely chosen by the parents within the same social class and with the consent of the parents. With this, this will lead to a more stable and a more harmless relationship. According to the author, being in an arranged marriage will lessen the probability of the bride being looked down upon or hurt. This is because the bride is well-respected by both the parents and society.

In the United States, there are about ten people who die from domestic violence every single day. The U.N identifies October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. What happens when ‘Home’ is not the safest place to be? Domestic abuse occurs across the world, in various cultures and affects society, irrespective of their economic status. Behaviors that are adopted by a person to control their partner in a relationship refers to domestic violence. Domestic violence against women particularly marital abuse in United States compared with India is what this paper is going to be based on in order to obtain notions from various perspectives. One must have thought of at least 3 women you know who have been abused. So would this be considered a global epidemic? Maybe yes, maybe no. Violence by a partner is common in the Indian society that women end up committing suicide (Mullender et al., 2000). The causes, types of domestic violence, the abuser and the after effects of such behavior will be analyzed with substantial evidence.

The word applied to illustrate this discharge crisis of violence inside our residences is Domestic Violence (Panda & Agarwal 2005). Since the ancient period, domestic violence has been a built-in division of the civilization we are breathing. In this century, it is the viciousness imposed on so many women and girls all over the world: sex trafficking, acid attacks, bride burnings and mass rape (Women 2009). The causative aspects might be the wants to manage a further part of the family, the wants to use somebody for own advantage, the flame to be in a authoritative place constantly showcasing one's superiority so on and so forth (Panda 2005). On different instances, psychological problems and social power furthermore add to the violence. The current essay transact with a different structures of domestic violence common in the third world nation with an emphasis on India. In China, the most inclusive studies of female infanticide and the neglect of girls demonstrate that surfeit female mortality fell sharply from the 1930s through the 1960s before rising all over again with the "development" that started in the late 1970s (Daughter 2009).

Radford and Heister (2006:7) define domestic violence as the coercive control of an adult by an intimate partner, involving physical, sexual, emotional, psychological or financial abuse. Domestic violence against women is a global problem without geographic, religious, social, economic, cultural or national boundaries (Women’s Aid, 2005). According to Chitashvili et al (2010) violence against women is seen as a social problem with detrimental effects on the health and well-being of the victim and the people around. Women who are victims of domestic violence are deprived of their right to participate in societal life and are held prisoners under special conditions put by the immediate social setting such as family, social norms and values shared by the majority (Karanja, 2003). According to Harne and Radford (2008) domestic violence before the 20th century was an acceptable social order in male dominant cultures, approved and justified in their customs and traditions but today feminists movements are fighting for the rights of women and have managed to bring the issue of domestic violence into the public domain. .

Child marriage is one of the most severe violations of human rights that needs attention in India, “where 46 percent of children are married formally or in informal union before they are 18.” While child marriages affect both genders, girls are affected a lot more since they are a bulk of the victims. They are more likely to be involved in child marriages than boys as 30 percent of girls between 15-19 are currently “married”, while only 5 percent of boys between 15-19 are “married”. So why do child marriages exist when families know that the social, economic and human risks are so elevated? The answer is in India’s deep roots in tradition, culture and religion.
