Totally depends on who you are. While arranged marriages barely end in divorces, many love marriages do. Is that because love marriage is a stupid thing? Of course not. Most people just tend to handle it in a stupid way. If you wanna get married to someone you love, that's a beautiful thing. But when you plan to live the rest of your life with someone you love, you need to know them as more than just a sex partner. You need to learn to trust each other, to fully understand each other, to teach one another to responsibly and maturely handle children, cook, clean, run a household, pay the bills. Love carries away a lot of people from this necessary practicality, and thus problems occur, and they fight, and they break up. Now arranged marriage isn't as preferable, I mean you're getting married to someone you don't even know, but it's a strong commitment to your parents and relatives that you will live with this other person, and thus, breakups almost never happen, because it's the couple's responsibility to stay together. And it's also a great option for people who will probably have a hard time finding a legitimate girlfriend, like the guy writing this. Still, arranged marriages are less guaranteed to bring you happiness. So once again, it depends.

In my point of views, I believe it doesn't matter what type we have chosen. How we handle this knot (marriage) that's a matter a lot. Whether it is love marriage or arrange marriage Trust, affection, equality and understanding this all things should be there with no ego only can ones marriage life lead a successful way.

For love marriage:

When we have right to leave with our parents simultaneously we have right to find our partner.

We know our partner very well and know each possibility of him or her.

Social Evils like dowry can eradicate with a mutual understanding of couples.

For Arrange marriage:

Parents, the striking feature of arrange marriage is we have supported from parents and family.

Our parents also had gone through with arranging a marriage so they have more experience, haven't they? So we should trust them.

In love marriage, we already know our partner so if in future any quarrel will raise it definitely lead to divorce whereas in arrange marriage partner try to understand and manage the situation calmly while keeping their ego aside because they are totally new they try to make comfort zone and understand each other.

Every side has merits and demerits. It depends on partners that how they tackle situations.

Thnks.

There's a difference between true love and romantic love/attraction. Romantic love/attraction/infatuation needs sexual intimacy to stay alive. After some time this sexual intimacy starts to fade and both realise that the love is lost. They don't feel the same etc. But they have to realise that it was not loved from the very beginning. They just got attracted to each other. They always thought of being physical with each other but not realising it at the same time. Now, what's true love then? As Marilyn Monroe once said sex is opposite of love. In true love sex is secondary. You care for each other. You're not jealous. You're fighting but are never separate. You're at a comfort with each other. You know she/he will never cheat. You're always worried for your partner. So whether love marriage or arranged marriage. There has to be true love in it. Only then you can spend the rest of your life happily see after. Just like so many other love stories. But how to find true love. There's no answer to that. You meet new people and spend some time to know each other. And see if that definition of true love is there or not. Your inner voice tells you that he/she is the one. And it's not lust. So go after true love. Even if it takes time.

Good evening!

Thank you for allowing me to speak on one of the most controversial topics which is LOVE MARRIAGE OR ARRANGE MARRIAGE.

I would start by elaborating on both.

Marriage is a legal form to recognize two people as partners.

Love marriage is a type a marriage where both individuals agree to spend their rest of their life together.

Arrange marriage is a type of marriage where the parents chose their partners.

According to my opinion Love marriage is better and more comfortable. Both the partners already know about each other, they know about there interests and mundanes.

Also, they have already been together, so more comfortable around each other and more understanding.

While in arrange marriage you don't know who the person really is, there is some news in which many of the few times the husband is not educated, or are already married. Hence it is necessary to have a background check before you marry the person.

But it's not the same case with all the arrange marriages, arrange marriage is beautiful too. It's just you need to choose the right person.

I will end by concluding whether it is love or arrange a search for the right person, and be the right person, everything else is secondary.

THANK YOU.

Hi, guys.

See both love marriage and arrange marriage are goods. First of all, all the couples in the world must know the meaning of love. Love means respect towards each other, understanding and cooperation. So, written above by someone that in love marriages the couple knows each other very earlier and after marriage, they will get bored. Then, why do people love somebody in their teenage? Now, you will tell it as an attraction. Then can you tell what it attraction? why we get attracted? its because we feel and see ourself in that person. If we can see ourself in that person then how that love can be lead to conflicts or litigations or how we can get bored of it? its all depends on us because after marriage we have to stay with our partner, not our parents. If any problems occur after marriage then it will be difficult to be solved in case of arrange marriage but incase of love marriage at least we can came to know good and bad habits of our partners and can make a choice of our own that we can or not be able to stay with him or her till our last breathe. So I will love cum arrange marriage. First study your decided partner then give a proposal to your parents if you are comfortable with him/her then get married.

There is no surety about which will be successful, an arranged marriage or a love marriage. There is no perfect age to get married but there are perfect secrets which makes a relationship long lasting.

We have same problems in both just the tastes are different. The foundation of the relationship should not be based on our likes or dislikes because it's definite that two different person must posses some similarities or dissimilarities which is the law of nature.

They must develop a proper maturity and knowledge before getting into relationship. It can be possible sometimes that the person whom we love now doesn't posses those qualities which makes the married life stable.

One should inquire about whether he/she respect you or not, what he/she can sacrifice for you will decide your importance in his/her life.

In arranged marriage also one can clear his/her doubts about the questions which makes a relationship perfect because the happiness is not accessible just due to other partner but due to his qualities which makes the bondage stronger.

So there is no problem in both but one must has the perfect maturity, knowledge about the facts and qualities in the other which makes your relationship strong and happy.

I will talk about the modern generation, Not the old generation where there were only arranged marriages. First, let's talk about arranged marriage. In an arranged marriage, we have to marry an unknown person. We completely don't know about his/her character. If he/she has a previous affair or loved someone before, then he/she will not be able to give full love to his arranged partner or one day when they meet and you get to know that your wife/husband has feelings for someone. How would that feel to you? Another disadvantage. If you don't fit with your partner or you don't like their habit or behavior.

How will you manage with that person for a lifetime? And nowadays girls are aware and educated. If they don't feel good with you or things didn't go well. Then you both can have a divorce. In the case of Love Marriages. In the modern age, most girls are smart. They think whether a guy would be fit with them or not. If they feel her parents will not agree then she will not involve her in life. If both partners love each other and if they are of the same caste. AND IF BOTH PARENTS AGREE AND DONT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH MARRIAGE. SO BOTH PARTNERS WILL GET FAMILY SUPPORT AND IT WILL BE BEST AND HAPPY MARRIAGE EVER.

Look, it is very simple to explain which is correct and which is incorrect.

Like many people said that one is good and other is bad.

But people. Don't you think? Arrange marriage is like a GAMBLING?

Leave the things like gifts, dowry, feast and all these. Only think about those two who will have to marry. Because we are human. And emotion and trust are the Main aspects on which relationship build.

As I said arrange marriage is like a GAMBLING. In which people just go to live with those to whom they do not know before. If you get a good girl or a good boy. Then it's your good luck in gambling or otherwise, it's a very bad luck.

And I think. You are taking the decision about your whole life. So how can you play the game of gambling for your whole life?

If you get your bad luck in marriage then in whole life you will feel that you need to adjust.

And I can say adjusting to the situation is okay. BUT. It is not okay with a person with whom you will live your whole life.

That's why. People you just go to live a happy life. Not go for adjustment. And that's why the Supreme Court has also made the law to provide protection to the human. Because it better knows love marriage is fairer than arrange.

As per my view, anyone who has true lover is luckiest person in the world. He/she must marry him/her as they can't find better partner than that. So, from this context love marriage is better.

But today's generation's problem is that they they think making relationship is a fashion or style. So they somehow manage to make relationship but it may not be true love it may only be attraction, like friendship on Facebook leads to love without knowing him/her personally. Do you think that may be true love? That love doesn't last longer and gets fade away after sometime.

People who get married on this basis, get to know about their life partner after few years of marriage, and that leads to arguments and even divorce.

Furthermore, in most of cases, love begins with physical attraction and remains upto that, these types of love is also not going to give you anything except pain.

So conclusion is that love marriage is best when you get a perfect life partner otherwise arrange marriage is also good and they have their good points too.

Both marriages have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it should totally depend on a person which type of marriage he wants to do, which makes him happy.

Hello everyone.

My name is Rajdeep Kumar.

Today going to discuss Love marriage vs Arranged marriage.

What is marriage? Marriage is a lifelong commitment between two partners and also two families.

In my opinion, both marriages have equal importance.

Advantages of love marriage.

1. They know very well each other.
2. In a love marriage one already knows one's partner like dislike and all about him.
3. Love marriage is the better way to end casteism.
4. They respect each other.
5. If sometimes, later anything happens then they don't blame their families because they choose each other.

Arranged marriage:

1. Our parents found a life partner as you know no one parents think bad about own's children.

2. Both families being strong relationships because of marriage.

Conclusion:- in my opinion both marriage has equal importance, marriage is a combination of two families and two soul mate, a successful marriage combines both aspects of love and arranged marriage- parents' approval and love and understanding of your partner. And they forget some small mistakes and they help each other both are good if the couple has love respect and believe in each other.

Thank you, everyone.
