I wouldn't consider it, even for a moment. Because I think an arrange marriage either starts out or becomes a loveless marriage. Something also tells me people in one get really good at putting on a show when not behind closed doors, but behind closed doors, its a entirely different story. Lastly, I keep myself emotionally blocked off when it comes to dealing with people in general. So I'm not going to take those walls down to take part in a arranged marriage. It has to be someone I choose and someone that has earned enough of my trust to get me to take some walls down.

Probably not, if I ever get married I would want it to be with someone I love. Why doesn't your mom just give his family some money?

Don't you know that a man have rights on you when your married, it means you cannot marry someone and tell him don't kiss me, don't touch me, don't make sex with me... etc

Unless you have a good excuse and it won't work everytime, marriage is sacred, marriage means that god made you and your husband one! And that's why you will hold his family name...

If it's a civil marriage which means a marriage only done on the papers, well that's something different!

You cannot be married to someone whom you don't want or love!

You cannot help someone under the name of marriage and destroy the beauty and meaning of a real marriage!

Your mom is leading you into a disaster, if she wants to help him, let her find other ways!
