The boy and girl talk to each other and they decide about marriage… In western culture most of the guys loves so many times, dates so many times, make sex without any responsibility and surrender, most of times they have mixed babies who have no identity, we still have morals and are proud of our heritage. Coz in similar culture its help the gal to live with her new family. many of us in India analyse horoscope of boy & gal for marriage, nt all of us, we also see that the background of both guy and girl. As all of you knows India is well known for yoga, meditation, astrology, tradition. Its not as stupid as many (outsider) people think. In these country’s arranged marriage is largely practiced ,the percentage in India is 92 % arrange or love with arrange marriage & only 8 % is love marriage, friends, arrange marriage doesn’t means forced to marriage. The Punjab survey offers some clues, though not definitive.The people of India, Nepal,pakistan,bangladesh,lanka etc. If life satisfaction is a criterion, the jury is out there. Therefore, are arranged marriages better? If divorce was the only criterion, the answer is YES. The social taboos too play an important role. They are also likely to be less independent making it extremely difficult even mentally to exit a marriage. Again I make the assumption that most non-working women have had arranged marriagesĪrranged marriages ‘work’ in India not because families come together but because women in those marriages mostly tend not to work and are quite unequal in the relationship. I am not undermining other factors like Children etc but those play an equal role in both love and arranged marriages. In that context it is clear that even with unhappy lives and clear cases of domestic violence, many non-working married females cannot exit a marriage given their lack of financial independence. Given the low work participation rates, one could argue that most of these women are homemakers (non-working married females). Many States report atleast half the women having suffered from domestic violence. The statistics on domestic violence are particularly important. I of course make a big assumption that women in love marriages are more likely to be working than women in arranged marriages Their anxiety level is also higher than the anxiety level of working females. One survey carried out in Punjab states that The theory that arranged marriages are somehow better are not borne by surveys in India atleast. Secondly, couples who are likely to fall in love and actually go ahead with the marriage are probably likely to be a little more ‘independent’ than the average ‘arranged marriage couple. In other words, the financial condition of the woman (in a love marriage) is likely to be much better than the average woman. You are likely to meet your partner at work or at college (usually the same class). In India for example, love marriages tend to be between equals. In this US study for example, 69% of the divorces were initiated by women, only 31% by men. Many of the answers are alright but frankly, none of them explain the main reasons why divorces are higher in ‘love marriages.ĭivorces tend to be higher when the woman feels sufficiently empowered/confident to exit a marriage. I am having a slow writing week, so this is one of those articles you write out of maintaining a discipline….Ī huge list of answers on Quora attempt to answer this question.
