Arranged Marriage is better than Love Marriage

Introduction

Marriage is a legal, economic, domestic, and/or mating relationship. Marriage is defined and practiced in diverse ways in different parts of the world. Culture, religion, values, economics, and changes through history have affected the way marriage is understood. As marriage has become a political entity, there are diverse beliefs about the utility of marriage. The dissolution and effects of ending the marriage contract have an impact for the many people involved. Frequently, marriage is understood to be a prerequisite for having and raising children, thereby symbolizing the beginning of the developing mother or father roles.

Background

Research on marriage suggests that in ancient Roman and Greek cultures, marriage was not just a personal relationship, but grounded in an economic arrangement between two families. Thus, marriages were often arranged by the parents of the couple in order to secure some level of economic advantage. Women in marriages had fewer rights than men and were expected to be subservient to their husbands. Old English meanings of the term husband refer to themes like master of the house, manager of the household or male partner in a marriage. Wife is the term used to refer to a female partner in a marriage; however, it is believed to originally mean woman, or in some contexts, veiled women. The terms spouse and partner are more gender-neutral concepts often used in modern society when referring to marriage partners.

Historically, since there was an economic basis for marriages, the notions of romance and love were not considered essential. Instead, procreation was considered the primary marital duty. Women had fewer rights to own property or to be financially independent. Marriages were often arranged with the inclusion of a dowry for the female partner, sometimes referred to as a bride price, which provided a financial incentive for the male partner to enter into the agreement.
