what do you think of arranged marriages

[Neptune]

monsieur, head down to Canada and discover love here, it lasts about 2 months and comes with an awesome divorce, i am confused are you talking about the love like my gramps for example being married for 70 years or are you talking about americanne Hollywood love. There is a big difference between the two, one is based on commitment and the other is based on fantasy , but I do get your point however I sometimes also like to think that type of love existed in real life. Hopefully I wasn't being racist but if you grew up here, you would be really fed up with this so called love crap that people believe in because they give up on their relation the moment things get tough.

I know i am going to sound very cynical/conservative but live in west/non catholic Canada for some time and you will realize the difference quick enough and I really respect turquie people on my campus as they really adhere to traditional values instead of giving up their identity(a little too religious but i respect their decision + home made gyro is awesome )...

Well, mine's mixed between the traditional and hollywood style

And ultimate recipe of failure where everyone suffers. People should be free to choose their own destiny. The suppression of free will and enforcement of slavery like culture is breeding extremism in society as well as killing the ingenuity and creativity. The worst sort of arranged marriages are those among cousins where children ultimately pay the price with genetic disabilities.

L O L is that why their arent any genetic disabilities in any countries that forbids this ? Same genius are now also starting to claim circumcision is not necessary and carry no help benefits?

The guys and gals in India (and the sub continent in general) are lucky to have their parents find their mate and fix their marriage for them as we had followed the western tradition, the youngsters may have to spend large sums of money in their quest (dating, clubbing, candle light dinner etc etc) for finding their mate.

Yes same guys who prefer to go out on dates also wants a virgin wife in west where this practice is pretty much norm men are OK with it.

Here is the kicker

They same who make fun of us use internet to find match.i guess parents finding the match for their son or daughter is arranged marriages computers machine that has no feelings doing the same is better way to go
