Depending on the country and culture, choice of spouse can be based on mutual consent or forced, an act of love by family or the couples decision. Marriage on the other hand can be arranged by family or the bride to be, even gov. rights have a say regarding gay marriage. Regardless, one should have the right to choice of spouse. – D.TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-78085847256363026152011-04-03T21:36:05.331-04:002011-04-03T21:36:05.331-04:00Marriage is based on the way two people feel at th...Marriage is based on the way two people feel at that moment, and I'll leave this topic alone.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345415506439650133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-57523944071771197172011-04-03T18:03:18.622-04:002011-04-03T18:03:18.622-04:00We should all have the right to choose who we desi...We should all have the right to choose who we desire to be with for the rest of our lives since we are the ones that have to live with this decision and no one else does. There has been much research that leads to the conclusion that those whose spouse is chosen for them have longer successful marriages. How do we really know this? How about if they are scared to tell society the truth? How about if they do not know any different and are denied what true happiness is? We really do not know the answers to these questions and only those who are in this situation can really attest to this. So what do we do to help others identify to this? We cannot tell others anything because what we believe is our formed opinions of the way we are suppose to feel and act in society. Has anyone thought that maybe these individuals believe in the right to arranged marriage and that the right to choose a spouse would be as nonsense to them as arranged marriage is to us? <br />Janet AlmonteJanet Almontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245861904950072785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-57281965975635071802011-04-01T22:43:21.723-04:002011-04-01T22:43:21.723-04:00Arranged marriage refers to a condition in which m...Arranged marriage refers to a condition in which marriage partners are chosen mainly by someone other than the partners themselves .We may notice arranged marriages are surely not rare, in the population of India, Pakistan and others...
