Do you think arranged marriages are a good or bad thing?

I think if you're forced to marry someone, it's a bad thing but if you parents helped you in finding a partner, for example, but you still have a say, it's alright. It depends on your beliefs.

Arranged marriages stem back hundreds of years and although I personally don't agree with children be betrothed to their futures spouses when they're growing up, I don't see the problem if the two people do actually want to be with each other. It all depends on how strict the religious beliefs are held.
I also agree with equality in marriage which, frequently isn't the case in arranged marriages.

It depends really. I find arranged marriages somewhat scary. Unless of course you get to see the people and talk to them and then choose if you wish to marry them.
But some arranged marriages end up on the wrong side. When you're parents decided who you have to marry and you've never heard of this person, or don't know what their like. But it's all to do with religious beliefs.

some people believe in the fact that you marry first and then fall in love,and the very well may be the case for some people, but not me! thankfully my family isn't religious or anything, and we have no rules about who I can and can't marry. As long as I'm in love with that person,my family are 100% with me!

i personally don't really agree with arranged marriages but i think it all depends like if both partners actually love each other and they get a say in who their parents pick then it's okay

I don't agree with them either, i think they are false because you should marry becuase you love the person with all your heart and because you want to be with them forever...not becasue you're told to. It's not fair.

Personally, I don't believe in it but in my culture there are still lots of people that believe in it.

It does sound ridiculous. But it happens. I happen to come from a religion and culture that still follow arrange marriages! My mum and dad have always said they never want my marriage arranged. In my religion and background it still happens though. It's been going on for years.
