I'm going to talk about the notion of of spaces and exchanges made in marriages and more specifically the arranged marriages.
This marriage is a kind of marriage that is practiced in India.
In this country, there are two ways to find a partner.
First, you publish an advert in the newspapers.
Secondly, through your acquaintances, someone who knows another family, or friends.
It's completely opposite of love marriage.
So, for or against arranged marriage ?
In the first place, we shall see why we can go against arranged marriage.
In the second place, we shall analyze why we can stand for the arranged marriage.
On the one hand, we can be against arranged marriage.
In Western culture, you don't practice an arranged marriage because you think it's necessary to love your partner to get married, so they usually practice love matches.
In this culture, getting married with someone you don't love is crazy !
Moreover, it's difficult to get to know each other and falling in love after marriage doesn't neccessarily happen..
Furthermore, you don't really divorce because divorce is considered ill or you can say , it's shameful.
You don't really have a choice because it's your parents who decide your fiancé for you based on a lots of criterion.
Anyway they want to get married because staying single is considered inappropriate.
They accept marriage merely as a tradition.
To conclude, it can be said that the notion of love is essential for Western culture, and arranged marriage is crazy to you!
On the other hand, we can be for arranged marriage.
Parents choose partner for their children according to diffrents criterions.
The 2 most important criteria seem to be religion and social background.
Moreover, they expect their partner to have the same religion and to belong to the same caste.
They can't get married with someone belonging to another caste !The indians values are numerous such as be caring, kind, smart, strong, education..
The profile of the 2 partners should be compatible !
Besides, you expect your partner to have a good relation with her or his family-in-law.
The families know each other, so the future wife/husband isn't a stranger.
They meet the girl's/boy'sfamily to see if they are a respectful family.
In addition, the divorce rate in western culture is very high , actually it's 50% in USA , which is crazy!
In Indian culture , the divorce rate is very low.
Western culture isn't better because love marriage ends up in divorce.
Even if you don't know the future husband/wife, you can fall in love with him/her after marriage.
And the notion of love happens most of the times after the marriage.
In conclusion, it says, there isn't a good marriage because it's depend of your culture.
I'm totally against the arranged marriage because, it isn't in my western culture, for me it's crazy.
You have choice to take every decision of your life.
But I still respect this marriage.
