Real Facts About Forced Marriage

Before going for marriage, there should be enough love between any pair no matters belongs to same or different cast or follow different religion and this trend of love before marriage is very important, not only in western civilization but in Indian and other civilization also. However there are some people who dont believe in love marriages and forced their children to do the same. They want their children to do arrange marriage and if they wont agree with them then they forced them to do. However, not all arrange marriages can be called as forced marriages, as there are various cases in which a girl or boy agrees to the choice of their parents and learn to live after their marriage. But in some cultures or countries, the bride and groom do not even look at each other until they get married. I guess this is not the proper way to begin a new relation; as such relations are so hard to manage and rarely be successful.

Forced marriages are often taken in negative light by western culture. In some countries, arranged marriage is considered as forced marriage. However, in most countries this does not happen; as it take place only after the bride and groom agree to the marriage. In arranged marriages, the priority is the marriage and love between bride and groom is secondary. They learn to live with each other and carry on with life. In forced marriages, the couple can grow to love each other.
