Hmm….that is a topic I never really consider. I feel that arranged marriage is not as appealing as love marriage. I know that some people thinks that arranged marriage is less hassle in terms of choosing the groom since that is done by the parents. But I feel that parents have been the remote control of our lives since birth and I think we ought to have some say when it comes to choosing our significant other. Of course before marriage there are dates and through those dates you get to the person better. I think when there is no expiration date when it comes to boyfriend & girlfriend relationships. Some couples have dated for 10 years only then decides to get married and some maybe as short as a year. So, the dating period is when people can experience the different personalities of a person and evaluate them. When we’re still single, we would face some mistakes when it comes to our partner and hopefully learn from them but with arranged marriage you are stuck with that person for life without knowing first hand of his/her personality.
There are definitely pros and cons to both marriages which I can’t deny. But, I think when it comes to marriage, it is our choice and we need to really think on our decision when it comes to marriage. Our parents can be our advisors but not really the decider. It is our lives. When we reach adulthood it is our responsibility to take care of it since our parents have done that. I am not saying to disregard our parents but always draw the line to certain things as not all the time they are able to hold our hands forever.
