Best Answer

it depends

... on a lot of things. Parents have the ability to veto a lot of legal choices for a minor, for instance. Or, if a kid chooses not to eat because of anorexia, the parent can choose to take them to a hospital and get them force-fed. Or if a kid chooses to overdose and lives, the parents can choose to admit them to a mental health clinic or get them other help to overcome their problems. There are usually some pretty good reasons why kids can't make all their own legal decisions. But if you are honest and open with your parents, hopefully on most things, they'll understand and respect your choice. It doesn't always work, but it is worth a try. Parents have been children. They know when it is easy to make mistakes. Might as well take advantage of that experience.

Is it right for parents to choose their children's life partners?

It depends on whether the parents and children are in a certain religion. Because a few religions have the parents choosing life partners for their children. But if they haven't got a religion which says that they can choose their children's life partners, then it is wrong. At the end of the day, they can suggest who they want their kids to go with, but nothing more. Their children has the right to say who they want and who they don't, as ten to one they won't like the parent's choice.
