The aim of this Religious Study enquiry is to identify in what people believe in; “Do they think it is right to have an arranged marriage or do they think it is wrong“. Can people give a clear view on it or is a difficult to clearly answer. The main areas I am choosing to investigate on his ’how can an arranged marriage affect your life… what is being done about them’. I have researched my questions about arranged marriages or forced marriages be searching it on the internet or even asking people in my year (year 8) what they know about them, before I went back to school I asked my mum some questions about them.
The actual definition of an arranged marriage is a marriage that is established before a lengthy relationship. So in a sense, it is the opposite of a love marriage, where marriage would be considered the final step for a relationship. This study is based on Arranged Marriages, but including; the difference of forced Marriages, traditional marriages, where it occurs, what is being done about it and how it can affect your life. These are the main areas I will be trying my hardest to investigate on.

    Myers et al., (2005) studied individuals in India living in arranged marriages and found no differences in marital satisfaction in comparison to individuals in non-arranged marriages in the US. This is also supported by Gupta and Singh (1982) who studied 100 degree-educated couples living in India, 50 of who had chosen their partners and 50 of who had their marriages arranged for them. The couples were asked to indicate how much they liked/loved their partners and it was found that love and liking was high in love marriages but decreased whereas love increased in arranged marriages and after 10 years exceeded love marriages. However, this study is difficult to generalise as it studies only a small sample and so cannot be generalised to the wider population. It therefore lacks validity.…

    Arranged marriage is somewhat offensive to feminist America. There is a level of freedom attached to choosing who and when to marry. Hollywood portrays arranged marriage as the evil separator of lovers, the extinguisher of freedom, and the ultimate subjugation of women. Vogue has an article titled “The Arranged Marriage That Ended Happily Ever After: How My Parents Fell In Love, 30 Years Later.” The article highlights the good points of the couple’s marriage which was arranged years earlier in India. Yet, these people had a thirty-year marriage without the “passionate feelings to glaze over your partner’s flaws in…marriage” (Jacob). Marriage looks clinical and dry this way. However, this is the outside view of arranged marriage. Cultural customs…

    It is natural for everyone to need or have or want a companion to shares their lives with. It is thought normal of young adults to want a spouse and a family of their own.

    They are better described as well aged traditions, rather than antiquated. Regardless of these erroneous beliefs, arranged marriages are changing to better suit the current time period. These changes involve adding prohibitions, on things like dowries, and minimizing the importance of caste (Marriage). Some might argue that arranged marriages leave people closed minded and, regardless of the benefits, belittle the children involved. Contrary to this belief, most children approve of their parents choosing their spouses, because they believe that their parents are more knowledgeable and truly do know what is best for them (Traditional Arranged Marriages). Since the children understand and believe this fact, they are able to work with their parents in the process and their feelings and emotions are taken into consideration. If anything, the children are maturing and being propelled into adulthood because of the arranged marriage…
