Faux Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The practice should have been abolished from any culture hundreds of years ago. It denies freedom from both parties (man & woman). Even though in theory, either one can say 'no,' but it's likely not to translate in practice. This is probably one of my most extreme views, but I'm an advocate of 'love' as something that grows, not forced. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's cruel and an awful practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'm with you, If my parents forced me to date someone whom they deemed "good" then forced me to marry her, well that would lead to me taking a very long "trip".

deloriagod Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I don't think forced marriage is right. I might go out with a girl if our parents set us up on a date, but I don't think it would work out since I'd rather be the one to find that special someone. If they tried to force me to marry her.. Let's just say I'll be somewhere tropical and I won't be giving out my address ;) Edit: Off topic.. 2300th post : Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedofsound Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Religion is involved mind you. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

And I don't go and disrespect other people cultures becuase I don't like it Culture is one thing, but being tyrranical and sadistic is another. Leave religion out of this thread, alls it does is make everyone heeing and hawing and each other... at the same time.

insane Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I think what you need to take into consideration is that there isn't "the one". If there isn't "the one", it would mean that theoretically you could learn to be with anyone for the rest of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1_man_army Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 If either the potential husband or wife dont want to marry then I completely agree, its barbaric to force people into marriage against their will. However, some people are in faour of doing it, so if thats is their choice then who are we to judge in my opinion. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Although i don't agree with arranged marriage, i would never go calling it barbaric... Love is one of those freedoms people ideally should have, but if a culture finds arranged marriage as a way to do things, who are we to say its wrong? Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

Guest AshKaYu Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Agreed. To hell with "tradition" of some cultures; I'd disown my family if they tried it on me. they'd kill you. Well is it better to die? or to live for years with someone you hate? To die and never experience joy, and no one ever said they hated it. I like arranged marriage. Jesus ftw. But sometimes it's purely logical. I mean, you're a seventeen year old girl who's family can't afford food anymore, but a rich-as-hell guy takes an interest in you. Should you let your family die?
