Arranged marriage – no?

The topic of arranged marriage came up again these days and i kept hearing about it – from the people who are with it, to the people who are against it and even from the matchmakers themselves. I think i used to have the idea that in arranged marriage, you wouldn’t have any say in the choice of your arranged spouse but apparently, that changed in the current times.

To me, there’s nothing wrong with people suiting people up especially if they have been single for some time, or if they have strings of not-so-successful relationships. Of course, those people you are suiting up got to be agreeable with the idea as well – for them to meet new people and maybe eventually get into a relationship.

Maybe it’s the old idea where you have to get gifts for her on the first meet and eventually marry the arranged person – well, at least i used to think that way. To be frank, if i’m still single now, i would be open to the concept of people introducing girls to me. Especially if it’s a hot chick. Well – we can always sample first before committing, right?

If set up for a date is okay but marriage..it’s kinda weird for me. My ex boss is a Sri Lanka and their culture is arrange marriage. And I know that he’s been running away from it for many years until this year when I met him for a drink, he told me his mum gave his an ultimatum, by this year need to go back Sri Lanka for marriage.
