i prefer "love marriage" because that way you marry someone you know and love and yoou know exactly what you are geting yourself into. you already know your partner's strengths and weaknesses and you know which areas you have to work hard at in order to make the marriage work, unlike marrying a complete stranger

I believe in love marriage. Indian girls should have the freedom to date if they want to. Why? Because this is 2006, not 1906. I have an Indian friend who's parents arranged for him to meet this girl, and the girl rejected him because his skin is so dark. Now he has a complex about it. I believe in freedom of choice.

what's wrong with the country you are in now ? why do you need to imagrate? you should only marry someone if you love them and are willing to commit to them for the rest of your life. a marriage without love is not a good choice. give it up ! live legally and make a happy place in your  own country !

Both r good... Whether its love marriage or arrange marriage, its all depends on our understanding, caring attitude... Its only concept of our mind that v r saying love marriage is better than arrange marriage... But its all depend on us..In love marriage one knows thr partner before marriage but in arrange marriage that process has to be done... Whether its arrange or love marriage one shud be understanding and caring abt their partner...

Hi.. Josie .. how are you?\nHope you remember me.\n\nDowry marriage is still existing in many parts of India. But the percentage is really decreased. The people are not demanding nowadays. But ther are happily accepting whatever the bride's father offers.\n\nI hope this trend will go soon.\n\nHowever this is not applicable for love marriages.

I'm totally against arranged marriages. How can you vow to love this person for the rest of your life when you don't really know them or love them???? Atleast if you know and love the person you are going to marry, the marriage has a chance of succeeding. When in an arranged marriage, what do you do once you find out you have "nothing" together? No love, no interest, you can't communicate with one another. You have to find out all these things BEFORE you marry. I disagree totally with arranged marriages.

I'm not Indian, but if some guy wanted to marry me without my father's permission, I would not be down with that. It's tradition and that can be important to some people. Obviously not you, but for your boyfriend. If you married him, it would be his marriage too, so it would also be good that he be comfortable with how that marriage begins.

In my opinion marriage is the best thing for you.  Too many people hold off marriage because they feel they are "Too young" only to end up with a child out of wedlock.  If you have a good strong relationship get married as soon as possible.  Marriage will not change your future plans and career if you don't let it.

First love. Then marriage. Married life might turn out to be unhappy in the long run as the pot of love is half empty before marriage. \nHahahaha...don't worry its better than arranged marriages as you have a good idea of your would be spouse before you wed him/her.

Marraige is what you make of it. Committment from both people is required to make it work. You should be allowed to do anything you want (within reason) once you get married.  Try not to have children until after you are 28, or they will be born ugly.

It could go either way, just realise that marriage is a serious thing and requires tons of hard work to make it succeed.

I married for love 23+ years ago.  I'd dated both rich and poor man....my experience?  As I told my parents, I'd rather marry a poor man who loves me than a rich man who beats me up or cheats on me.

That is a question that only you can answer for youself. My reasons for marriage my not being 'enough' for you, while others reasons might be. Marriage is, despite what others say, different for everyone. Everyone goes into marriage for a different reason. Reasons vary from love, money, arranged, being they can, to because they have to. However, my reason to marry was because I loved/still do my husband very much and I wanted to express it with something greater than boyfriend/girlfriend status. We were ready for the commitment and the responsibilities, which there are many of them. We wanted to have a real family, not that non-married people or single people can't have one.

Different cultures make it difficult for people to stay married.  Before you marry your bf, visit India with him and observe the customs of how women are treated in the households and their roles in domestic life.  Be objective.  You may or may not like what you see, but at least you will be aware of the differences.

no. marriage should be about love and commitment, not convenience.  marriage should never be rushed, and if you marry just for convenience, chances are you will be miserable for the rest of your life, or just wind up getting a divorce or annullment.

NO! marriage is a special thing a man and woman do together because of love and deep devotion, not something a money-hungry person does!
