What is it with this belief that parents literally own their children to the extent that they will choose whom should their children marry.
According to sanatan dharma parent's obligation is to give enough knowledge to their kids so that they make conscious decision in every step of life INCLUDING MARRIAGE.
But I know bollywood has fitted this whole philosophy in people's mind that parents are bhagwaan and they own their children etc etc....
Often parents are themselves stuck in loveless marriage and continue to repeat the same generational trauma on their kids.
It would be understandable if the reason behind this arbitrariness was genuine concern, care but in most of the cases it's just the sense of ownership and fake pride due to which some parents literally perceive their children as goods purchased.
