In some countries, marriages are arranged by the parents but in other cases, people choose their own marriage partner. Discuss both systems and state which one do you think is better.

Arranged marriage or love marriage is the most controversial topic these days. An individual has all the right to choose his or her partner but still in many countries

parents

are not giving

this

choice to their grown-up kids.

However

, I truly believe, a person should have the

first

say in making

this

life-changing decision

instead

of just blindly fulfilling their

parents

wish. We will discuss both trends in the following paragraphs. To start with, arranged

marriages

are the ones in which individuals are introduced by their

parents

and they hardly know anything about each other. Surprisingly, at some places, they directly meet on their wedding day. The main reason behind

this

system is that the elders feel they know what is better for their children,

moreover

, they are afraid, if their kids will get into an inter-religion relationship which perhaps will be difficult for them in the later stages of life.

Therefore

, either they give them a few options to choose from or directly introduce them to the person they like.

On the other hand

, love

marriages

are completely opposite in which couples know each other well and when they are

finally

convinced that they can spend their lives together, they make their

parents

meet. There are many advantages of

this

system like as they already know each other, they have a better understanding and maybe will have fewer expectations.

Additionally

,

such

marriages

will lower the domestic violence rates in society.

Hence

, love

marriages

can be a better system for the community. To summarize, both marriage types have their own merits and demerits, but in my opinion, everyone should make their own decision to choose the right partner. Surely,

parents

can give their advice but at the same time, they should not force their children with their decisions.
