Many people have many different outlooks on arranged marriages. Some people think it’s absolutely wrong while other people (according to their beliefs/religion) find that it is the right thing to do. In my opinion, I do believe that parents should have a say in a prospective marriage partner for their children. With that being said, I don’t think that they should have all the say in choosing the partner. They could give their opinions and thoughts on the partner which is their right to do so because as we all know, “momma knows best”, but I think the “child” should definitely have most of the say in who they choose to spend the rest of their life with. In the end, it is their life. Also, nobody knows you better than you, so you would know who you are compatible with and who you are aren’t compatible with. You would know who you like in a person; your likes and dislikes. It’s only fair that you get to choose who your life-partner would be. Religion in marriage. A topic much debated on around the world. A topic people love to agree to disagree on. In my case, I think religion should have a part in the choice of a marriage partner because I would like know that my children will grow up in the faith I was brought up in, and the faith I 100% believe in. Religion in my opinion does have a big part in choosing a life partner, because just like me, I would think most other people around the wold would like to raise their children in the religion they and follow and believe in. If two people of different faiths were to marry, I really don’t know what could happen. I’m torn on this topic because I truly think it depends on the people involved in the relationship. If both people in relationship are religious and totally believe in the faith they follow, then I don’t think that the marriage would work out. I think there would be a lot of conflict in the relationship which would later on lead to bigger issues such as divorce.
