Arranged marriage any more?

So are arranged marriages still happening around the world? Has any of this moved to the Internet so parents can find their kids a match?

 

Yes,they still happen at least here in India but as you said,the online matrimonial jargon is catching up fast among the common masses
Marriage,I believe is a very subject issue which totally differs from individual to individual

 

as for me arrange marriage is the best and its good for family's

 

It is happening in some countries as we speak

 

Arranged marriages are a joke IMO
People should marry who they like and LOVE, not who their parents "think" is best.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

 

Yes definitely. Arranged marriages are still alive. Specially in Asia

 

Yeah you right, but in Asian Countries arranged marriages are very reputable. I think may be because their culture.

 

Is "good for family" a common saying?

 

Guys,what does "good for family" mean ??
It's you who are getting married not your family,I understand that most of desire a partner who helps around the house as well is independent but aren't you the one's getting married ?

 

Yes they do happen around the world but a "a good family" is something very personal and subjective. Some people include well being and money into that, good reputation or whatever...But if love is ment I believe arranged marriage has nothing to do with real unexpected love - but for the situations when some happy coincidence occurred.

 

By "good for family" I sense you are not meaning good for you and your spouse and kids. Rather it appeases your parents. I had a co-worker whose parents were from India and I could hear him every day on the phone with mom (on work time) discussing the relationships she was trying to force him into. Pressure someone into a non-love marriage is good for family?

 

Exactly my point,it doesn't have to be good for the family
It's always your choice on what/which spouse you should be getting married to,parents can definitely give their opinions but shouldn't really force their kids into a relationship which would eventually turn out to be a burden for the rest of their life

 

According to me arrange marriage is best for everyone.

 

That sounds like a thought that was given to you and you did not question, right?

 

Yes i am agree with alanparker8250.

 

i personally dont really believe in an arrange marriage. no point forcing people to love someone which they might not have feelings for but yet again feelings can be developed but toward the end its depend on individual.

 

In India and the neighbouring region as well in the Arabian peninsula, arranged marriages are still the prevalent system in their culture.

 

It happens in some countries like India, Pakistan.

 

they will exist in all the times forever as always be parens who know better who will matche theit child better

 

i don't think i could handle someone telling me who i had to marry.
