Re: WHY do people fall in love after a forced arranged marriage?
Those who are advocating just 'accepting fate', I love how it only tends to apply to women in marriage, often these are the same ppl who turn around and say 'if my wife ever raised her voice to my mother I would divorce her instantly' lol or if the wife turns turns out not to be a virgin they'd be rid of her quick as a flash. Nothing about 'accepting fate' then..
Oh, and RV summed up everything else I wanted to say so well, I was also going to mention the camel saying (there's another thread that needs that reminder in there as well today). Let's not bother going out to work and earn and just wait for Allah to feed us as everything is down to 'fate' and nothing to do with us or our behaviour, let's speed down the wrong side of the motorway and see if we survive as it's all 'fate,' maybe I should stab myself in the neck and see what my 'fate' is. Allah has given us brains to use, not sit back like morons, not put or keep ourselves in bad situations with the convenient excuse of 'oh, it's fate and I should accept it.'
