Marriage Is a Private Affair – Interpretation

Arranged marriages argon something that is still going on in our time. They are something that I dont agree with. The marriage isnt about love, just the lucre that each family can make by marrying their children to each other. People who are put together in these marriages usually gestate not even met before. They are just assigned to eachother from a young age. They spend the commencement years of their marriages just getting to lie with each other. The guy usually forces himself onto the woman, since in the countries that arrange such marriages women are usually treated equivalent property.The families of the children force their kids to go through with the marriages or else they are disowned and dishonor their families. They are then banned from family gatherings and out cast by society. I dont visualize why people dont just give up these traditions. I know of one person who decided to leave and not go though with an arranged marriage. She is From India she is the sister o f my friend Ferhad. She left India to come live hither with her brother and uncle. Her parents literally wanted to kill her because she left without set uping them. They disowned her and wont let the cat out of the bag to her.She doesnt care because now shes here and no one can tell her what to do because she has a job and pays half the rent. She is happy now. I dont come across why more people just dont leave their homes instead of existence forced to marry. Arranged marriages are something that will slowly fade out as time goes by. They will just be seen as a barbaric practice of the past. Until that day though, people will just have to leave their homes and break contact with their families or put up with it and let their lives be run by their families and tradition.
