Love Marriage Ends in Divorce

more often than compared to arranged marriage. But why? Is it because love marriage is inherently a bad decision based on emotional response whereas an arranged marriage is decided by elders taking more than just the ‘chemistry factor’?

I beg to disagree.

I think the divorce rate for arranged marriages is lower because the type of people who agree to such an arrangement are the compromising types to begin with. They are, either by choice or pressure, fine with not making their own decisions completely.

Whereas the types who go for marriage of choice are strong headed personality types. They like to take charge of the situation. And when things don’t go as expected they again take charge of the situation and make decisions, good or bad is another topic for discussion.

So, my point is that arranged marriage in itself is not the recipe for a divorce-free marriage but rather the people who agree to it are more than likely to put up with the negative aspects of a marriage much more easily than those who go for love marriages.

I just said that in another thread .. but let me quote myself

Well said :k:
And in addition to all of that, there’s that pressure to please your spouse, his/her family and jannay walays because it will come down to, you chose him/her and this is how he/she turned out to be. Doesn’t apply in everyone’s case but it happens with many.
