Arranged Marriage? (1 Viewer)

[StirFriedPanda]

@frocho made me think of this. I also stumbled on a fifteen page final paper I wrote on "mail order brides".
Would you be willing to be in an arranged or "match maker" marriage? I'm NOT talking about a marriage your family sets up where it's all about making your family more powerful or wealthy. I mean one where the consideration is will both parties be happy. Would you blindly take the leap?

 

[frocho]

I definitely would.

I don’t see how an arranged marriage can have that consideration any more than a pairing with any other person

if you mean like a blind date marriage no

I’d actually prefer family picking to that…

as long as they’re not old enough to be my dad

 

[The_LastRomeo]

Yes I would

 

[uran]

Id rather have my parents pick a bride for me to gain power

 

[Yelena_Belova]

No, that sounds like my worst nightmare.

 

[dark_tranquility]

I wish.. finding one that isn't arranged is exhausting.

 

[Pirioca]

Definately not.

its not like a blind wedding, u meet the person beforehand and both parties have to agree.

I mean I'm bi, but most of those arrange marriage stuff is more for heterosexual relationships so like idk, I'm not sure if I would like to be limited like that.

Well, if the arrangement was to look after everyone's happiness I don't see why being bi would exclude you options your open to.

Ok I’m gonna sound stupid for saying this but a matchmaker is now like a human dating app right

Yes, generally a human interviews everyone involved and puts two people together that have the best possibility in their opinion of making it. I hightly recommend watching Indian Matchmaker on Netflix. Many of the parents they interview were the product of arranged marriages and I was amazing at how happy they seemed.
