If you had an option between traditional marriage (dating and eventually getting married by choice) or an arranged marriage, which would you choose and why?
Would you agree to an arranged marriage?
I think what a lot of people get wrong is how arranged marriages work.
Arranged marriage is literally a "blind date". If both the partners are interested in each other and their family find each other's agreeable, then they start dating with the idea of marriage.
Its basically dating where your relationship into a marriage within 2 years (depends upon individuals)

Someone just explained to me the different types of arranged marriages. Apparently, in some cases, the bride and groom get the final say. If it was the more lax form of arranged marriage where I could get to know the guy and I could refuse then I wouldn't mind but otherwise, I prefer to have control over my love life.

Depends on who sets me up. So far my friend set me up with 2 guys but things always seemed forced and more like a social experiment on her end than an actual working deal. And my parents will probably chose someone overly obedient and those people disturb me.

Hell no. The idea of marriage itself is quite terrifying for me, let alone someone else arranging it for me. HA! That ain't happening, if I ever get married is gonna be with someone I'm madly in love with
There is no way I'd have let my parents arrange one for me (different priorities).
The girlfriends of mine that they liked the best were the ones I liked the least.

A big hell NO to an arranged marriage. I don’t want anyone dictating who I marry and I enjoy the thrill of the choice it’s make everyday more interesting.

No, definitely not. It's my life, I will decide who I spend it with.

I'd choose a tradional marriage, I choose the bride but, if the perks for an arranged marriage were good enough and she wasn't a beast, I would go arranged. This also is on the notion I am in another country & not the US.

I have a traditional marriage. I chose him, he chose me, both of our parents protested against it... but we are still married. :)

Depends. It seems arranged marriages do have a place and are arranged by family who knows both.

Hell no! I’m marrying who I love not who someone else wants me to be with.

I’m not always easy to get along with. It’s best I choose.

Is not because not true love have to date before to get married in first place.

If the 2 are in love then it's fine, but 99.9% of the time its probably not ok.

I shudder at the thought of letting my mother choose my husband.

Sure, they worked better and still work better as seen with gypsies.

Even though they arranged something i will go out and see if it works or not.

I want to choose but it would be nice if they had a few different ones to choose from

I'm actually starting to consider an arrangement of some sort. Women have never wanted me at all.
