Would you allow your daughter to date?

Re: Would you allow your daughter to date?

@Fayz

See, my argument was that mature girls should be responsible for their own future just like any other human being. If you are dating within reasonable limits then you are doing a favour to yourself and your parents. Obviously, you will go through some good and bad experiences but eventually it will be your decision and your life.
How can a parent who forced an arranged marriage on her daughter be content if his/her daughter ends up in a divorce or a unhappy life.

I agree that if your child is an adult and responsible he/she has every right to make his/her own decisions. This is not about whether we’ll “force” our kids to NOT date, its that we wont allow it. They might listen to us, they might not.

Its not that you are deciding for them, you’re the parent, you bring them into this world, the least they can do is respect your wishes - assuming that your wishes are sensible enough.

Plus just as a marriage (arranged) can be unhappy so can any other type. Nobody really knows what issues will arise or what the future will hold.

Explain hows its doing a favour to anyone? Dating doesnt guarantee a happy marriage or future. Life has so many factors, that in the end you cant really decide what might be “best” you sort of have to think about what might be “better”.

Plus for me its all about the religious side along with the points Ive made.
