Should She Consent For An Arranged Marriage? by aristocrazzy: 8:09pm On May 04, 2015
My coursemate in univ. Ama is gorgeous girl infact all the boiz in my class chasing her but she is reserved and quiet. She has no sexual experience in her life because of the strict home she is raised in.
But she visited me yesterday saying she ran out of her home because her parents have forcefully engaged her to a rich young guy whom they say is the best suitor for her. She is 22 she even said that the man has already paid for their house rent (because she lives with her family in univ, area). Nawa O.

This is serious and she needs advice urgently, because I fear what future might yield if she keeps running from her parents like this. Pls oo

Some parents be trading their daughter for financial gains. The man himself is very st*pid for attempting to blackmail a girl to marry him via her parents. Since he seems to have the money why not go through the right channel by meeting the girl herself and try to convince her. With money the chances are likely.

She has to consider her family financial background and her studies in whichever decision she makes. Are her parents able to afford the rent and subsequent rents if the man hadn't paid?. How about her studies? Are they buoyant enough to fund her through uni or they're exploring ways to lift the burden of her school sponsorship off their shoulders? If the man becomes an in-law will things be more smooth for her family, financially? If her family is experiencing a lot of hardship then perhaps she should consider doing her parents bidding. Not because it is right but because the circumstance is unfavourable.

Also, I don't think running will help her in this situation. She has to face her parents and give them reasons why she can't marry him. Listen to theirs as well before arriving at a better decision. But if at the end of the day she decide to accept the man's proposal she must insist on completing her studies.

My only fears about such men is that they will be abusive and chauvinistic in nature. He may end up reminding her of how he's helping her family and will always act as if he did her and her family a big favour marrying her.

This is the point where she will have to start learning how to take financial responsibility for herself because her are most likely going to almost disown her if she doesn't consent, i've seen parents like that but for her future sake she shouldn't try to do that because it only by luck such marriages end well.
