Oh my God my little angel what a thought ful post that was but tell me one thing 1st why u raised this topic....is everything alright with you😈

well i will let u know after OCT how it goes😆😉 now be focused and back to the topic,

Well Diya both marriges have upsides and downsides and there are no guarantees in life,

So there are some advantages and there are some disadvantages. depends on your arguement. In love marriage, you get to choose your wife,or husband so you might get to be generally happier even if it doesnt work in the long run. In an arranged marriage, its a matter of convenience, you wont have to go through the birds and the bees stuffs, courting, getting heartbroken, what you see is what you get. You can either just choose to force yourself to love her or be miserable for the rest of your sorry lives, you still have a choice, just not a very liberal one.

One thing I know about arranged marriages though is that it usually benefits the families of both parties mutually, thats why its a marriage of convenience. Whether its better or worse than a love marriage it depends on your outlook in life and the society you are living in.

I had an indian-chinese friend back in j.college who was already arranged to a girl when he was 15 or 13 or somewhere that age, and he confessed that he's actually quite contented and happy with it and with the girl he just learned to love her more and more and same for the girl. I guess its albout choices and perspectives.
