Did she get a say in the decision? If not then its a forced marriage, not an arranged marriage.

It doesn't matter if it's an arranged marriage or a love marriage...both individuals still have to work at their relationship together and compromise in some situations. There isn't a guarantee saying that just because you have an arranged marriage, you will be more happy.

Here in the UK, alot of arranged marriages have failed just as many love marriages.

No, they dont is the short answer.

There are no guarentees for anything in life I'm afraid

The only plus to an arranged marriage......

Go grab the bugger who arranged it and knock his block off!!! 😆

In love marriage situation, you have to slap yourself!!

marriage by itself, whether "arranged" or "love", doesn't ensure anything...leave alone a "happy" and "productive" family. a lot goes into making any kind of marriage successful and raising "happy productive" children😊

My vote too.

The only guarentee is in most arranged marriages is that there is the support of the family if somthing happend after marriage. Other than that there is no difference, we have to adjust, sometimes compromise in in both kind of marriages. As in every relationship, for the success of marriage also love, loyality, adjustment, compromise etc. are necessaary.

I don't agree with you there. I would say that family support is guaranteed because your family cares for you, irrespective of the kind of marriage you had. Even if you have gone against your family and got married, when the need arises your family will stand by you. 😛

@ bold, I can not agree with you. I peresonally know somany cases where parants are not accepting the marriage or the son-in-law even after years, one of them is my elder relative. Even at death bed the father didn't speak to the daughter.

If the girl is married and go to another house, there are some parents who do not care about her, even after arranged marriage. That is one of the reason, that no body to care the girl, for increasing dowery death and suicides.

Even at death bed the father didn't speak to the daughter. And I know many many cases where the reverse is true. I would say these are exceptions rather than rules!

In both cases the family doesn't care, period. That was my point. You are guaranteed your family's support only when you have a caring family. The kind of marriage you have is a small factor!
