Approximately 95%of marriages in India are arranged, with the divorce rate at 1%. I come from a big family, with 25 first cousins
and many more second and third cousins.

Out of these 28, 24 are now married and 2 are engaged. All arranged marriages, with no divorce to date.

I am the black sheep of the family, with the first love marriage in the history of my family. I believe that I am the custodian of my own
happiness. I believe that God gave me free will.

So, I cannot marry someone my parents choose for me because even if they trained me from birth, they have limited knowledge of what
gives me fulfillment, especially in the area of choosing a life partner.

What are your thoughts about these

Na family matchmade marriages dey last past sef. Because every one including the couple and both family make effort to see that it is successful

If the person is financially stable a good provider protector and have some qualities I value why not?

Marrying solely based on love is one of the stupidest thing you can do that is why divorce rate in the west is so high.

Most arrange marriage, u find the girls to be very decent, most are virgins with no experience. I personally have no problem with that provided our character align with each other. Less billing.

Many Indian people "date" before they marry. The arrangement is mainly someone introducing you to several people. Then you finally make your choice after talking and several meetings.

My broda. arrange marriage is the best. your parents will make the best choice for you without emotional blackmail, and they will not be deceived by sex either. no wonder we had fewer divorce then, compared with this recent love marriage of a thing.

Sometimes is the other way round o. Stop talking as if you don't know. The guy that was set ablaze by his wife and also herself in kano was an arrangee marriage. He finally said it when he was rushed to the hospital that it was his mum that brought this woman for him, he never liked her for one bit.

Both of them later died.

You don hear indian people divorce before? All their movies on zee world is centred towards marriage. In fact you don't need pressure to find a partner anymore because you know say that part has been settled by Experienced people.

Those people who help you choose will also give you their support before and after the marriage because they agree.

Note that arranged marriage is not like a blind date. You guys must have met prior to it.

Lastly the girl go be virgin πŸ˜†

BoboNogoDie:
ABSOLUTELY!

ONLY IF SHE TICKS ALL THE FOLLOWING:

1) She must be beautiful and presentable.

Very important

2) She must be a virgin.
This is the most important. I MUST KNOW YOUR BODYCOUNT! If you're not a virgin, then there's absolutely nothing you'd tell me about your sexual past that I'll believe. TOTŌ NO GET METER ...
Having multiple ex and bodycount have the effect of making girls DAMAGED AND BROKEN, there by turning them into very selfish and wicked DEMONS.
THE TENDENCY OF THEM BEING A CHEAT IS ALSO VERY HIGH IF THEY HAVE HIGH BODYCOUNT (+2) ALREADY...

The sexual history of a girls tells a lot about her personality.
A girl brought up by responsible parents can never be a SLÚT or whórë.
Someone with high-good level of moral can not just be spreading legs for whoever comes her way.
Virginity is the greatest and the most valuable gift a girl can give to any man.
You can give multiple men your love, children, marriage etc, but you can only give one man your virginity.
If you don't think such gift is worth keeping for someone very special and someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, then I can never consider you as someone with good morals and someone that have sense.


3) She must not be an illiterate. Meaning that she has to have some level of education and must have SENSE!

4) She must come from a good home and family.
I can not be married to someone who has psychopaths in her family. This will require to do good digging and enquiries about her family.

5) She must be willing and comfortable with marrying me.

6) SHE MUST BE READY TO BE SUBMISSIVE, COOPERATIVE AND AGREEABLE.

7) SHE MUST BE GOD-FEARING AND QUITE RELIGIOUS.


THAT'S ALL.
are you all of this?

It is not a straight jacket answer. It depends. The truth really is that when it comes to perfect union, it does not matter how you got connected to your partner, be it through your parents or other family memembers, friend, school, church, shrine, mosque, bus, market, what really matters is if you are both compatible and truly love each other. Therefore, if you insist that family members must not offer you a partner, what if that partner happens to be someone with the qualities you wish to have in a wife? Am not insisting it must be your family that should provide you with a partner, but will you say although she meets your specification therefore ou wont accept her unless yu meet the person yourself? I think one should have opnen mind towards considering how to get a partner.
exactly pple meet online and it's all gud while pple get married to those they know offline yet issue... I once read how pple dated 9 years before getting married yet the marriage still crash... So just be a good human being...

you are right, but this is one of too many that worked. but compare statistics of love marriage and previously when parents used to arrange marriages for their children. we had less failed marriage then. if you bring up that case i can name ten cases where the spouses burnt themselves to death in a love marriage. What about the case of that IVD car dealer guy, who was dating that olosho blessing ceo, was that not a love marriage and the husband deemed it fit to burn the wife to death. The truth is if parents choose wife for their children, i am very sure most of these olosho guys will never smell marriage. most of the men marry these days because of big nyash.
Re: Can You Marry Someone Your Family Members Arranged For You? by Armaggedon: 8:21pm On Aug 14, 2023
Far more better than two clowns🀑 under the influence of "falling in love" emotion

Arrangee is better because people who are sober get to help you chose the best. It also ensure a mutual respect and absence of too much "see finish" syndrome. Again ladies who are highly recommended have a way of being prepared for the serious task of marriage. Those "lovey dovey" girls easily misunderstanding marriage as a bed of roses where they are entitled to endless happiness, love and attention.
