Love vs. Arranged Marriage Debate

This document discusses and compares arranged marriages and marriages where individuals choose their own partners. It notes that arranged marriages are believed to help parents protect their children from negative relationships and reduce the possibility of divorce by matching children with spouses who have similar backgrounds. However, others argue that people should have the right to fall in love and choose their own partners, and that choosing a partner one loves allows them to better accept each other's weaknesses and take responsibility for their own decision to marry without blaming others.

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the

following topic:

In some countries, marriages are arranged by the parents but in other cases,
people choose their own marriage partner.
Discuss both systems.

Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with
examples and with relevant evidence.

Marriage is a legal relationship between man and woman which is one of the most
important parts in most of the human's life. As time went by, marriage has changed
significantly. In the past, marriage was arranged by the parents or elderly relatives and it
still happens today with the limited number. In contrast, most of the people believe that
choosing their own marriage partner is the best way to have a long-lasting relationship.
This essay will compare and discuss both systems.

Each country has its own culture and tradition. Marriage is arranged by parents to
determine the best spouse for their children. It is believed by people who conduct this
system that even if the bride and groom do not love each other at the beginning. By
arranging marriage, parents can protect their children from negative relationships like
free sex or cohabitation. Besides, the possibility of divorce is declined since the parents
generally select their children's spouse based on the similar background such as
religion, tradition, language, and socio-economic class.

From another point of view, many people support that marriage should be based on
love. They believe that everyone has the rights to fall in love and take a decision about
his/ her own marriage partner, without intervention from others. Since they have
recognised each other, they are able to respect and accept their spouses' weaknesses.
They understand that they cannot blame anyone, including their parents because the
decision to marry comes from them.
