Love Marriage vs Arrange Marriage






Marriage is a very essential social institution. Every single individual wants to have an excellent match, but the touchstone for choosing the life partner is different. In love marriages, every individual prefers to choose their partners on their own, while in case of arranging marriages every individual prefers partners chosen by their family or parents. There is a continuous debate respecting the best way to choose a partner for marriage.

 

Marriage is not just a union of two people but a coming together of two families, two social networks that are now new closely linked than ever before. An arranged marriage focal point on this family union. While considering a partner for their son or daughter, parents will first check if the hidden talent bride or groom’s family is compatible with each other.

While this may seem like an impassive way to go about it, the value of a balanced marriage is undeniable.

Maybe this could be one of the reasons why India has such a low divorce rate.


Critics of arranged marriage would say that not enough attention is given in such marriages to how the couple feels about each other. Emotional and physical unity is overlooked in favor of practical attention.

They feel that they have to take their parents’ choice of a life partner for them.

On the other hand, love marriage is also often mistaken as an expression of freedom or rebelling against one’s parents.

On the surface, love marriage seems perfect. We find our soul mates, get married and live happily ever after.

 In comparison, one might enter an arranged marriage with much lower expectations and not expect everything to work out immediately.



There is no perfect custom to make a marriage work. Both arranged and love marriages have their own durability and faults.
