My dad just asked if I wanted to get engaged to a girl in a picture

Archaic culture and traditions.
.

I hate this kind of explanation the most, it's such a crap cop out answer. Oh yea it's tradition so we have to do it.
Well you can bloody justify any kind of behavior by saying "it's tradition".
It's just like the God of the Gaps argument we have no understanding of this thus God did it.
It's also just like saying you want to hurt yourself for no reason. It's tradition you do this regularly so it must be upheld.
There's no reasonable convincing explanations as to why you shouldn't be able to choose who you want to marry.

you can choose who u want to marry in arranged marriage

The word is arranged not forced. You have a choice your parents were just your dating agency finding suitable matches.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with arranged marriages, forced marriages however have no place in any society.

ah i see ok



i see alright i mixed things up, thanks for clarifying

you then have conversations (with a third party present) to see if you're compatible, some will fail at this point due to a lack of "chemistry" or simple disagreements. If the two find each other agreeable they then get married - it might not be as romantic as meeting a stranger on the street but you will very likely have a functional and loving marriage with higher probability of success than meeting that elusive stranger and winding up forever alone/ bouncing between partners till you're 50. Both scenarios can lead to incompatible partners this isn't exclusive to either one.

Seriously why are ppl acting if arranged marriages are the end of the world.
Believe it or not there are actually successful arranged marriages. Yes shock horror.
Srsly people grow up.

Yes it can. Knowing the person years b4 you marry them doesn't always lead to a successful marriage. There's no statistic.
Nor does it increase the likelihood of a successful marriage. You have no proof.

With arrange marriage you can take however long you want to marry someone so you get to know them properly. It doesn't just happen in a day.
You don't just look at photos, this may come as a shock but you actually sit in the persons house and talk to them in real life.

so you talk to them once and decide to get married zrranged marries have to work ou as the people who do them dont believe in divorce

Tell your dad to go **** himself. Ain't nobody marrying a girl they've only seen a picture of. Meet the girl in person so you know for yourself that she's a ***** then reject her to her face. It sends a clear message and everybody wins.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Never been better.

His arranged marriage obviously didn't go well

WRONG! I'm permanently single and I hope it stays that way.

Why? Have you had a bad experience with girls?

How did you assume "she's a ***** ".



LOOOOOOL

I shouldn't be laughing.

What's your opinion on arranged marriages?

WRONG! I'm permanently single and I hope it stays that way.

No ****, Sherlock.
