Ah, the silver lining.

Or rape you... But maybe I'm stereotyping arranged marriages too much.

*allowed Human male? As opposed to a reptile or...

Or rape you, especially is he is used to takin things by force .. Guys don know what no means now a days unfortunately

Your spelling is atrocious.

Apparently, he mugs his wife too.

By the way, you live in Australia? Aranged marriages aren't allowed there, are they? Go to the police!

Arranged marriages aren't illegal. I know a couple who had their marriage arranged by their families, and met one time before they were married. They are the most content couple I've ever seen.

@Alan Thank you.

Yeah, but what about the people who aren't happy in their aranged marriages? There Are a lot of those people! And sometimes, marriages aren't that easy to get out of. There could be s lot of reasons why people don't get divorced.

Yeah, but I mean marriages in general can be tricky to get out of for many different reasons. Like in some cultures it would be "bringing shame to their families" and things like that.

Women forced into arranged marriages are teated as property. If they leave, they may get a cup of acid dumped in their face. The only one happy in an arranged marriage is the man, cause he is usually a 40yr old pedo getting married to a 13yr old.

The divorce rate in arranged marriages may be much lower, but how many arranged marriages are actually happy? That's not something that can be statistically calculated. On the other hand, how many of those self-chosen marriages could have worked out if only the couple were willing to try harder to work things out? I seriously doubt that getting set up for marriage is some magical key to happiness. My theory is that it's an expectation thing. Couples who choose to marry one another expect to be happy, so if they find that they are not happy, they are more willing to get divorced. On the other hand, couples in arranged marriages probably don't have any expectations in their marriage and simply hope for the best, so they're willing to endure much more grief and hardship before divorcing. In any case, though, OP absolutely should NOT marry that man.

The idea of an arranged marriage seems ridiculous to me and I'm generally open-minded. The reason why their divorce rates are lower is that once they're in the marriage, they don't know how much happier they'd be out of it and if they do know that, they don't want to be frowned upon by everyone in their culture for divorcing.

You guys are missing the point that forced marriages and arranged marriages are different things. Arranged marriage is a matchmaking practice by the parents, and consent has to be given by both potential partners. In forced marriages, which are what you are thinking of, the marriages are enforced by coercion and/or violence. It helps to use the proper terms.

If only mods could be thumbed up. My parents marriage was arranged, they were introduced by my grandparents as potentially right for each other. There were good and bad years, but they went a lifetime agreeably side by side.

Sirin- you're correct. My bad for not using the proper terminology. Nonetheless, in an arranged marriage isn't there still a lot of pressure? It's not forcing but pressure is still wrong in my opinion.

You're a little ignorant about what an Arranged marriage is.
