Teen2TeenHelp answered Tuesday December 4 2012, 11:45 pm: Are you of Indian descent? A lot of marriages in India stem from arranged marriages, that seemingly don't end up in divorce. But you have to realize, in an Indian society, your own neighbors and family look down on you when they hear news of divorce. Indian people, to me always have to seek others approval to be someone in life. Wives accept their "misery" and somehow grow to accept the person they are married to. It is hard, but it can be done. You have to think about your life and what you want. Do you want to live with your parents and family and society approval all the time? Can you handle criticism in the future from people that you once called your friends? If you can, then I think you should be able to marry the person you fall in love with. Your parents will not die because you refuse to marry the person they want. You need to realize that the person they arrange you with, is the person they think you have a better chance of living with, financially, medically, etc. That is the point of arranged marriages. You should get to know all of this information about the person you are in love with too and compare if you can handle it with your future.
