Question 1 (a)

If I was Sivasothie, I will object the arranged marriage made by my family because I know that arranged marriage will not last longer even though it was parent choice. There were lack of love and respect between husband and wife when we married with someone which we do not know well. Furthermore, there was also the danger of arranged marriage which the husband will act violent towards his wife and to be worse the wife was too afraid to speak out. In Sivasothie’s situation, her future husband was materialistic. As he works as a doctor, the value of dowry that he wanted was too high that cannot be afford by Sivasothie, plus he did not wanted to be considerate with her family at all. In this case, it shows that a woman pride was very low because she cannot afford to pay the dowry for the man, just because of the arranged marriage made by their family.

Question 1 (b)
If I was the American girl, I will have a slow talk with my husband to improve our relationship. Maybe it was hard to have a slow talk as my husband was too cold, but I will try to change and improve the situation to save my marriage or else my relationship with him will become worse. The love between us is fading and it will die if I do not take any action on it. A marriage with no love was meaningless because we were living with our partner everyday and there will be lack of intimacy. It was okay if our husband was not care about us too much. We do not have to be emotional towards our husband because it will destroy the marriage that we build. Hence, we need to make things better and save the marriage from divorced. Tolerate between each other is important so that our relationship will last

    Serena Nanda fails to write an impartial argument for arranged marriages versus "love match" marriages like those in the United States. She neglects to present the positive aspects of choosing a partner for marriage opting instead to keep the focus on the negatives. Her argument for arranged marriages is weak and unfocused leaving the reader to doubt her logic. In her attempt to persuade the reader to supporting arranged marriages, she actually emphasizes the negative effects of them. Reading Arranging A Marriage in India, strengthens the idealistic values of romantic love and exposes the flaws of arranged marriage including the extreme limitation of potential partners, inexperience and ignorance of the people, excessively traditional and sexist…

    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. In relationships it is that passion “falling in love” is the dominant aspect of young adults (Berger, 2010, p.412) Intimacy is when two people know each other well enough to share secrets, as well as engage in sexual activity. Commitment is more time consuming and requires work, dedication, shares possessions, in some cases child-rearing responsibilities, and the capacity to forgive. In some international familes arranged marriages commitment is first before intimacy and passion. Domestic violence sometimes occurs but male figures of the bride usually oversees common ground is the husband is too demanding. Arranged marriages hardly ever do divorce, there’s tremendous effort in keeping the family together as well as social and family support is offered.…

    The deliberation of the word marriage is connected to thoughts, feelings, emotions either its love marriage, arranged marriage or forced marriage. Antecedently, discussing the concept of forced marriage and arranged marriage, I would like to bring thoughts of the reader toward two stories related to forced and arranged marriage. Begin with a story of a poor family with only the father somehow making some earning and have two daughters that he wanted to get married as soon as possible because they were getting older. As we can assume after a certain age, usually it gets harder for the girls to get married. So whoever was telling the father or the mother that we have seen this Rishta (marriage) for a daughter? The people are exquisite, and your…

    In countless cultures, arranged marriages are the way of life. If you get married by personal choice, you are frowned upon. Girls in many cultures have very strong courageous mind sets for allowing an illegal act to be performed, to marry at a young age. “Parents know about the illegality of such marriages, but in West Bengal, considered an intellectually progressive state, only two cases were registered in 2005 under the Child Restraint Act” (Dhar). They do not report the acts of abuse due to the fact that they may go to jail. If the father goes to jail, they are virtually surviving off very little or no income. Comparatively, Nurse reflects on this subject when she recalls in Romeo and Juliet, “I remember it well. / ‘Tis since the earthquake now eleven years; / and she was weaned. (I shall never forget it),” (1.3.27-29). This devastating way of life, traumatizes these women and the unrealistic expectations have harmful effects on the girls.…

    After reading the article Arranging a Marriage in India my first thoughts were why would any man or woman want to marry someone they are unfamiliar with, no nothing about them. I had the same mind as Serena Nanda who is the woman who got to experience it all while her trip to India. Of course my opinions had changed after reading the article, although I never had a problem with arranged marriages because I had been aware that some cultures do that as a lifestyle, but the idea of it kind of sounding like the parents are selling the daughter. As Serena mentions that how in the U.S we find the one we love and then marry after a few years of dating if it’s the right one of course, but now divorce rate is very high and it’s usually because it’s cheating or you just get tired of being with the same person. But how a women in India see it, they marry the guy that the parents have arranged them with and they seem to have a very flow and happy marriage, but how can that be? Is what I ask myself? They are people who have never talked or seen before yet they enjoy each other, although I like the idea on how when they marry they get to know each other and they aren’t tired of each other because it’s just the beginning of their marriage, it’s kind of like dating in U.S only they’re married. They interview with Sita, Sita mentions on how her parents have experience and they know what’s best for her when picking the right guy for her to get married with. While they are picking boys for her Sita doesn’t experience dating her parents do all the work for and all she does is goes to school and enjoys her youth she has more time to spend on her life instead of worrying about the man she might marry or boys. Sita’s reasoning was very understandable and I feel like I connect to that idea and that maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have an arranged marriage, but I know that it really isn’t for me. Education in man is very important when the parents of a soon to be bride is looking…

    Today, up to 90% of marriages in India and 60% of marriages in the world are arranged. In Romeo and Juliet, when asked about what Juliet thinks of marriage, Juliet told her mother that “It is an honor that I do not dream of”(Act 1 Sc. 3). In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo was about three years older than Juliet when they got married. Unlike Lady Capulet and Romeo, Juliet was was not happy about getting married hitherto her marriage to Romeo. She was too young and inexperienced to undergo such a profound milestone in her life. Arranged marriage is a source of selfishness and inconsideration, and therefore, they must be banned.…

    Marriages are divided into four groups, these are the following groups; "forced arranged marriage", "parents or guardians select the the individuals are consulted", "individuals select and the parents or guardians are consulted", "individuals select and the parents or guardians are neither consulted". There is a controversy started by the human rights movement that it isn't ethical to let your parents choose your partner for life. The Human rights movement actually considers it a violate to womans rights as the man is near always the dominant one in these kind of marriages. The Human rights movement is also trying to prevent arranged marriages as it is a part of one of their campaigns right now. Many people use these arranged marriages only for wealth if the family of one individual is poor and they set up a marriage with a wealthy person, without even thinking about the brides or the grooms feelings toward each other. In conclusion i recommend to always go with the normal marriages of the western world where if you love someone you marry them without anyone else's consent, arranged marriages are just to f'd up and neither partners will be happy in that kind of…

    I found this essay to be very interesting and new to me, because it gives insight on a very important aspect of a culture that is not known to most Americans. I like how the author grabs the reader’s attention with the use of several personal experiences of dating involving potential husbands for an arranged marriage. This essay also relates to my topic of how important parental approval is in marriage, because it shows the extreme end of the spectrum. Arranged marriage takes parental approval to an extreme, and allows me to give evidence of how important parental approval is to some families from other places. Although, the author uses great strategies to convince the reader of her beliefs, I still do not feel that I would like to be involved in an arranged marriage. I do realize that there are some pros and cons, but I would rather meet someone who I really love and marry that man.…
