Marry whoever they want, but get an okay with the parents.
Because you want your parents to accept them, but not choose who to love and who not to love.

You should have a right to choose who you want to marry coz it's your life.

But in Asia there are still parents who arrange marriages for their kids.

I think this should be in debate.

I think the person that is getting married should have the right to choose. It's their life; not the parents'.

we should be allowed to choose who we marry cause if the parents choose, its like they're choosing who we can love and cannot love and yea thats wrong O_o

Well, first of all, it can't be in debate because it's a poll. Polls are not allowed in debate. Secondly, I think the person getting married should be the one to decide on who they should marry. But then again, they wouldn't be too happy if their parents didn't like the person they wanted to marry. But they wouldn't be happy if they married a person they had no interest in. So I say, it's better for them to just follow what their heart decides. _smile.gif

I think we should be able to choose who we marry. Cause if the parents do then it's like they're choosing the rest of your life, since your going to spend the rest of your life with that person. And if you don't like that person then that would not be cool. So marrying who you want to spend the rest of your life is somthing we should choose not our parents or anyone else.

I believe the person should marry whoever they want. It's their choice. THEIR the one that's getting married to that person. NOT their parents. However, it would be nice if the parents are alright with the person their child is getting married to, but even if the parents disapprove, I think it's their child's right to marry whoever they want.

yeah i think the person who's getting married should make the decision. firstly its their life, and if they are at the age to be getting married, they should be in charge and make their own choices. yes the parents may not approve, but so what? yeah they may look down on it but if they loved you they'd come around and get over it and be happy that you're happy.



btw...new avatar. happy.gif just thought i'd mention haha i got bored of my other one.

the parents should have at least a lil say so like if they think the person is good enough for them...but they should just go out and say "you two are getting married cause we say so!" no now thats just wrong!

Legally, you can still marry that person if you are over 18.

But your parents probably won't admit that that person is their son/daughter in law.

and what if your parents give you reasons like he's not suitable for you because of difference in social standards, cultures, race, religion, money, etc? statics prove that people are divorcing more often now that some of them choose who they marry. whats your opinion bout that?

another question for my essay tongue.gif

i believe you should have the right to choose. the only problem is many people don't want their parents being ashamed of them, so they choose who their parents want them to marry. but marriage is about love and commitment. so if you love the person and want to spend the rest of your life with them then you should be easily committed and do whatever you want.

i think the person should choose who they want to marry because they love them. so what if your parents don't like them, they have to understand its who you love and want to marry. they should just accept that.

I agree, marry whoever you want. No point in being miserable for the rest of your ife because you married someone you don't love. But you should try and get an okay from your parents since you'd probably want them to get along.

I think it should be your decision but get a parent's okay. I know it's your own life and such, but your parents are usually the ones who know what's best for you.

We should choose who our lovers should be. If parents choose it for us, who knows, we might end up getting divorced or something. Some people though, have certain religions. Therefore, it's not their say to say who's to marry and stuff..
