Relationships are the most important things in life. And marriage is one of the most important relationships. Having said that, it becomes even more important who arranges the marriage, whether its ourselves or someone else like our parents or friends. The issue has taken the place of an important social problem. Different people have different opinions coming from different age groups from the different parts of the world. Marriage as we can see is a commitment of spending the rest of our life with someone. This has a great impact on our life, career and personality. So, who should decide for us? .
To start with, parents are more experienced and well-placed in society. They understand people better and thus, understand us better than we do sometimes. Moreover, being our parents, they want the best for us all the time. However, the choice of our life partner should have our say in it. How can we marry someone who we don't know? Is it possible to get along with the person and share everything that we have in our life From this point of view an arranged marriage may not look sensible at all. Considering that all of us have the right to decide for ourselves who we want to spend the rest of our life with. That choice should be given to us and no one else unless, of course, we forfeit it to someone else. Mostly young "arranged" couples complain of misunderstandings, concealed truths about each other and making a 'hurried and emotional decision' trying to respect their parents, which they regret. After discussing all of this I would like to introduce you to my parents marriage. My mother was 18, and my father was 23, before they were born my grand parents had decided that their children were going to get married. The contract was as following; when my father had enough profits to take care of my mother and raise a family they would get married. My mother was not told about this until a month before the wedding, she was against it and on top of that she hated my father.
