    I have nothing wrong with arrange marriages if they were by choice and not forced by the parents or other people...

    However.. do they last longer? :p depends if there's love or no love.. commitment or not ;)

    I have to agree. :)

    If you're an ugly fook then it's a "no lose gamble" :p but what if you're a real looker and get lumbered with Quasimodo lookalike lol!

    All of us must have the freedom to choose who we will marry.

    It depends. Its very customery in some countries. The people involved to get to choose. If they don't like the person then they will be passed over. The people get time to quiz each other and spend time talking , so they do understand a bit about each other. Its not like the person is blindfolded and shown a prospective partner and has to decide there and then whether to marry or not.

    I don't know about more chances to last or not, but living with someone that you might not love or might not like it terribly wrong.
    A marriage can last longer - under the wrong circumstances.

    There is nothing wrong in the arrange marriage provided both parties are willing to do it, not everyone finds love before getting married.


    Being in India I have seen many arrange marriages going ever lasting and successful and Love marriages leading to divorce in mere 2-3 years.

    A man should find his own wife and not get his parents to do it for him!
    Depends on your culture but it is mostly third world countries and cultures that have arranged marriages. Some of my firends have had these with girls back home but for me it has to be Love first. But that is just me.
