Love may be missing in an arranged marriage, but what about obligation to your parents? They've fed you, they've clothed you, and they've kept a roof over your head. As their child, you would have some responsibility to your parents' wishes. In an ideal situation, you've been chosen a good mate who is kind and faithful, and through your union, everyone would have some gain in the end, whether it be wealth or status. Your comfort and well being is guaranteed. This is what your parents have given to you, out of love for you. Would you be able to refuse this arrangement?
It might not be exactly right, but can you see it as completely wrong? The weight of your obligation to your parents is key here. |

Yeah, they are my parents, and yeah I do have obligation to them, but I don't want to pay it while spending my entire life with someone I don't love. Why should I make myself miserable out of obligation? I'm my own person.. I would like to know that I have the freedom of choice. Especially about who I'm marrying. No one should have a right to decide what your whole life's going to be. No one. |
