In my opinion, both have their own pros and cons. Although, I am leaning on arranged marriage. And I can explain this. Many do not understand the concept of arranged marriage. You are not marrying a complete stranger. You can maintain a good bond with your parents and tell them what you look for in a partner. They will do the searching for you. Not to forget, marriage is not only the union of two people but also their families. Families do play an important role.

Sometimes you can fall in love with someone and be totally unaware of their family and culture. If so, what if you don't fit into their family?

Now, the chances of this happening in an arranged marriage is very very less. Because your parents know what is best for you and they do their research about the family that you are marrying into.

However, sometimes your loved one and their family might be a catch as well.

But in my opinion, Love marriages are a "hit or miss" like situation. It may or may not work out. Whereas, arranged marriages are a safe bet.

Hi.

It's not a matter whether the marriage is arranged or loved, the commitment and understanding between the couple is takes more responsability in their marriage relationship.

As per my knowledge both are equal.

Let the parents arrange marriage with a girl and between the gap of marriage love that girl as much as you want and marry her.

Hi.

Marriage is a lifetime commitment. I prefer arranged marriage. Because parents are supported and in future you have any problems parents are guided. In love marriages parents are not supported.

Hi.

So many different views about marriage. I agree that parents are our life. They brought us to this world. They fulfill all our needs. Their unconditional love is very great. When it comes to love between a guy and a girl, they fall in love, understands each other, (both must make sure its not attraction. . But you both are building d foundation for life). Also both must be ready to convince your parents if you really want your pure and true love to continue for lifetime. At times, it so happens that you. Both are so emotionaly. Attached that you jus can't even think of another guy/girl in your life. So at least now you realise its not ATTRACTION but its a deep AFFECTION and BOND.

So be bold too. Convince your parents. Love happens only once. Make that love for your lifetime and your life will be meaningful. Love your parents and also love your LOVE.

Hi friends,

Arrange marriage is better than love marriage because love marriage is not going a long time. Both are not respected each other and arrange marriage is supported from family so as both have commitment, honestly and respect each other. So I supported arrange marriage.

Marriage is a very important social institution. Every individual wants to have a perfect match, but the criteria for choosing the partner is different. In love marriages, individuals prefer to choose their partners on their own, while in the case of arrange marriages individuals prefers partners chosen by their family or parents. There is a continuous debate regarding the best way to choose the partner for marriage. Let\'s analyse which one of the two is better.

Love marriage:

- Both individuals know each other already and mutually decide to spend the whole life with each other.
- The couple is responsible for its choice and the onus of the blame in future lies on the couple only and nobody else.
- The couple is aware of each other\'s likes and dislikes. Therefore they will get along well.
- The couple can eradicate social evil like dowry with their mutual consent because they have the independence to take such decisions at their own level.
- The culture of the extravagant spending too can be curbed by the understanding between the couple.

Arrange marriage:

- Arrange Marriage is not a contract between two individuals alone but a confluence of two families.
- Two families involved in the arrange marriages know each other very well and are compatible with each other.
- Because there are more people involved in arrange marriage, the conflict between the couple will be effectively resolved or mitigated.
- The Couple is guided by parents experience whereas in love marriage couple is unknown about the future complexities in life and lacks this experience.

Conclusion:

Both ways have their merits as well as demerits and marriage is a decision of a lifetime. Though families are involved in most of the marriages, it\'s the couple which has to live together for a lifetime. So, the decision to choose life partner should be left to the individuals. Ultimately no one can certify the best way for a perfect marriage life because like life marriages too are full of uncertainties.

It is not a matter depending on whether it is love or arranged one, but the main thing is to be noted that one cannot maintain their relationship in an equal manner. Because I really felt the pain of love and also I agree with the terms of arranged marriage, but it is not at all a good one to marry an unknown person. It is only based on the thoughts that how we really understand the lovable one of our life. Marriage is a future of our happiness so be patient and choose your partner as your wish and also got married with the permission of your parents otherwise you would be waiting for your favourite life until you got the permission because waiting and patience did not disappointing anyone.

Be confident, you can feel the pleasure of love marriage.
